Arda of Armenia

Arda of Armenia (Armenian: Արդա; died after 1116) was the first queen consort of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, as the second wife of King Baldwin I of Jerusalem. She served in that capacity from 1100 to 1105. Arda was also briefly countess of Edessa, a title she held following her politically strategic marriage to Baldwin in 1097, shortly after the First Crusade.
