Literary themes were at first historical or religious, as represented by two great works of the period, the History of Armenia, by Movses Khorenatsi, and Eznik Koghbatsi’s Refutation of the Sects.

Evolving as a feudal kingdom in the 9th century, the Bagratuni Dynasty led Armenia on a brief cultural, political, and economic renewal. A new capital, Ani was constructed at the Kingdom's apogee, after recognition as a sovereign kingdom by Baghdad in 885, and Constantinople in 886. This map shows Armenia in the ninth century
