Historical background
CILICIA - KINGDOM OF ARMENIA - HETHUM and ISABELLA
(1226-1269)
Armenians first lived around Lake Van. Nicephorus II Phocas (963-969) settled a significant part of the Armenian people in Cilicia. After the Seljuk invasion in Asia Minor, it constituted an independent principality whose first monarch was Roupen (1080-1095). In 1218, on the death of Léon, his daughter, Isabelle, succeeded him. She first married Philip of Antioch (1218-1226), then Hethoum Raimond Roupen who reigned until 1270. Leo III became King of the Armenians in 1270.
