Leo V Of Armenia
Leo V or Levon V (occasionally Levon VI; hy, Լևոն, ''Levon V''; 1342 – 29 November 1393), of the House of Lusignan, was the last Latin king of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. He ruled from 1374 to 1375. Leo was described as "Leo V, King of Armenia" on his own personal seal (),Mutafian, p.90 and as "Leo of Lusignan the Fifth" in the Middle French inscription on his cenotaph: . Family and early life Leo was the son of John constable of Armenia, Constable and Regent of Armenia. According to the contemporary chronicler Jean Dardel, Leo's mother, Soldane, was the daughter of a Georgian king.

Surviving documentary evidence suggests that Jean de Lusignan never married Leo's mother and she was, rather, his concubine. Were this identification to be true, this would make Leo the only Armenian king to not just be the descendant of t ...
