Cilicia Under the rule of the Seljuks, a large number
of the Armenian principalities disappeared, but south of the Taurus
Mountains, a certain Rupen, a monarch from Little Armenia (in the northeast
of present-day Turkey), was able to withdraw from their rule. He was the
founder of the Rupenid dynasty which remained in power in Cilicia or New
Armenia until 1226 and was succeeded by kings from the Hethumidian House and
later by kings from the House of Lusignan from France. During the Crusades, the princes of Lampron
in Cilicia came into close contact with the West. At the end of the twelfth
century, Prince Leo II succeeded in having himself recognized by the emperor
and pope as king of Armenia. On 6 January 1199, he was crowned in Tarsus by
the Papal Nuncio Conrad of Wittelsbach and the Imperial Chancellor Conrad of
Hildesheim. He and his successors therefore called themselves “King of the
Armenians,” and this may refer to the population of Cilicia in particular as
well as to the Armenian population of Asia Minor in general. Thus, in their
titles, they clearly positioned themselves as rivals of the sultans of Rum
for rule over the Armenians, but it should be noted that the area actually
under their control included only Cilicia while the rest of Armenia was under
the rule of the Rum Seljuks (Ikonion) remained. Immediately after his coronation, coins
struck under his reign show a lion passant with a patriarchal cross. The lion
is probably not a reference to its name. In common symbolism, the combination
represents a subordinate commander (the lion) under Byzantine or Nicene
suzerainty (the patriarchal cross). On the contrary, the name Leo is rather a
reference to the rank occupied by the monarch. During the entire period of the kingdom (1199-1375)
the Armenian coins continued to show a lion passant with a cross staff.
Initially together with a patriarchal or double cross, later with a cross
moline The lion was also heraldized, at least in
Western sources. In the Wijnbergen
Roll two mentions of a coat of arms for the king of Armenia occur. The first
is, for “le.Roi.dermine”: Red, a walking, a crowned golden lion gardant with
a patriarchal cross on its back. [1]] This coat of arms with the lion
with the patriarchal cross is probably an early Western heraldic
construction. The lion with the common cross appears to
have had other colors. Gelre shows a red lion passant with a cross staff on a
golden field. On the shield a helmet with the same but now crowned lion for
crest and helmets in the colors of the Armenian flag [2]). The
reversal of colors may certainly be related to the reorientation of the
Armenian Church to Rome at the Council of Sis (1307-08). There the Armenian
Church was united with the Church of Rome. From this time on, the cross that
the lion carries on coins is also a latin cross. [3]) ) The coat of arms with the lion with the cross
appears one more time after the conquest of Armenia by Timur Lenk in 1387. It
is in the Report of the Council of Contstanz by Ulrich Richental (1417 ca), the
lion crowned, the cross in the shield head instead of on a cross staff. The
caption reads: Rex hermenie ist vnder dem Kaiser kan (The king of Armenia is
under the Khan, namely the son of Timur, Shahrukh (1405-1447) [4]) Another coat of arms for “le.Roy dermenie”
appears in Wijnbergen Roll. It is: Gold, a red lion rampant gardant While the Seljuk sultan, originally from
Turkey, ruled the Armenian Christian population of Romania - the Rupenids
were of Armenian origin, so Cilicia can be considered a truly Armenian state. Because of the close relations with the West,
among other things because Leo I (II) [5]] was crowned king by the Papal
Nuncio and the Reich Chancellor in 1199, the Cilician kings are also more
prominent in Western heraldry than the sultans of Rum The spire is bitten off
by the Cilician coins from the time of the kingdom, with on the reverse side a lion passant, usually
with a patriarchal cross over the shoulder, but sometimes also with a staff
with a cross moline. [6]]]
That's why the second coat of arms is undoubtedly that of Leo II
(1270-‘89). Several portraits are known of him, but for us his portrait as a
prince from 1256 is the most interesting. In that year Hethum I (1226-‘69)
made a trip to Karakorum to submit to the Mongol Khan Möngke there. Its
purpose was to be safeguarded from the war that Hülegü, a grandson of Djengiz
Khan, then undertook to subdue Persia and Iraq. The portrait of Prince Leo II
must be seen in the light of Mongol suzerainty. It represents him dressed in
a long blue robe (divetesion)
studded with medallions in which a golden lion passant to the sinister above
which is a moon with a golden sickle and an orange-red shadow side. Above his
head, two angels hold up a red sun with a golden corona and a moon similar to
that above the lions on long rods. The sun and the moon are undoubtedly the
symbols of the Mongol Khans described by Marco Polo: “.... Above his head his
banner with the symbol of the sun and the moon flew so high that he could be
seen from all sides. used to be." [7]] The lion, as we have seen, was the symbol of
a very high Mongol commander, and so it is likely that Leo II, if he were
allowed to use a lion, was given an appointment as commander of all of
Möngke's Armenians, an appointment already must have been as unrealistic as
the appointment of Leo I as king of all Armenians. It should also be taken
into account that the 'lion' on Leo II's robe can also represent a leopard or
tiger, and then we are in somewhat lower ranks of the Mongol war hierarchy.
The 'leopardized' lion in the second coat of arms in the Weapon Roll
Wijnbergen would then be a Western translation of a Mongolian war symbol,
probably based on oral tradition. [8]] Hülegü's conquest was relatively short-lived,
and after his departure in 1258, the Mamluk sultan of Egypt, Baibars, took
advantage of his absence to subjugate the Christian states of the Near East.
Antioch fell in 1268 and Hethum I could only make peace by meeting high
standards. In 1269 he retired to a monastery and was succeeded by Leo II. A coat of arms with a white lion on a blue
field occurs in the period of a 10-year truce between the Sultan of Egypt and
Hethum II from 1281 to 1291. So this lion will certainly not represent such
an important position in the war hierarchy as the lions of Kaikosrau II and
Leo II, but rather the position of dux of comes, as in the West. In that
respect, Hethum II's position in the Near East was no more different from the
earlier princes of Antioch, the king of Cyprus, the emir of Alexandria and
the sharif of Mecca, all of whom also used a lion as military insignia. After
the hostilities were resumed in 1292 with varying results, the coat of arms
with the red lion also appears on the golden field. Until the 20th century it
was regarded as the coat of arms of 'Armenia', whereby it is not stated which
Armenia is intended. |

Leo II had been an ally of Frederick
Barbarossa and was made to be recognized as king by Henry VI and Pope
Celestinus III. On 6 January 1199, he was crowned in Saint Sofia in Tarsus by
Cardinal Conrad of Wittelsbach, Archbishop of Mainz. It is not clear whether
this meant that he became king of New or Lesser Armenia, which consisted of
Cilicia and its environs, or whether the title covered more and also related
to the part of Armenia occupied by the Seljuks. The title was in any case:
King of the Armenians, and therefore has a national and no territorial
significance

At the age of 14 Isabella was forced into
marriage with Constantine of Barbaron’s son who was subsequently crowned King
Hetum I in Tarsus in June 1226. She is said to have refused
to consummate the marriage for several years. In the year 1226, the Armenian princes,
together with the Catholicos, Lord Constantine, assembled and
enthroned Hethum, son of Constantine, bailli of the Armenians, and also gave him, as
a wife. Isabel, King Leo’s daughter. Thereafter there was peace in the House
of the Armenians, and year by year they strived for the heights. Constantine of Barbaron now thought it wise
to reconcile Armenia with the Papacy: loyal messengers were sent in the name of
the young couple to the Pope and to the Emperor Frederick
II. Although Bohemond IV and later his son, Bohemond
V attempted to persuade the Pope to arrange a divorce between Isabella
and Hethum, but both he and King Henry I of Cyprus were
specifically forbidden by Rome to attack the Armenians. The marriage was
legalized by Rome in 1237. On coins

Hethum I (1213 – 21 October 1270)
( from Armenian: Հեթում Ա) ruled the Armenian Kingdom of
Cilicia (also known as "Little Armenia") from 1226 to 1270. He
was the son of Constantine, Lord of Baberon (d. 1263) and Princess
Alix Pahlavouni of Lampron (a third-cousin of Leo I) and was
the founder of the dynasty which bears his name: the Hetoumids. Due to diplomatic relations with
the Mongol Empire, Hethum himself traveled to the Mongol court
in Karakorum, Mongolia, which was recorded in the famous
account The Journey of Haithon, King of Little Armenia, To Mongolia and
Back by Hetoum's companion, the Armenian historian Kirakos
Gandzaketsi. Persuaded
of the futility of resistance, he decided to submit to the Mongols and went
to Kara-korum to pay homage to Mangu Khan (1251-’59)

Mongol suzerainty would explain why the angels hold a red sun and a white moon above Leo’s head. The residence of the katholikos of Armenia, Kostandin I (1221-1267), was then still in Hromklay. However, after the departure of
the Mongols of Hülegu Khan in 1258, the Mamluks again pushed forward in 1268,
subdued Antioch and forced Hethum into a severe peace treaty. Hethum I abdicated in 1269 and died a monk in
1270. The arms of Armenia in the

On 1 April Charles sends one of his counselors, Nicholas of St. Andemaire, to the King of Armenia (l.c. p. 225). He is supposed to first bring his sister to the Prince of Tripoli. A messenger from the latter had stayed with Charles in February. (l.c. p. 6). Also in April 1279 an envoy from the prince stayed with Charles (l.c. vol. 2 p. 199) and towards the end of the year a new one came who returned home in January 1280 (l.c. vol. 3, p. 5). (W. Norden in "Das Papsttum und Byzanz in note 1 op p. 629). It is quite possible that an
alliance with Charles of Anjou, who had also been King of Jerusalem since
1277, included the use of a coat of arms with a cross. G.J. Brault believes
in Early Blazon on pp. 35-37 (The arms of Brittanny) that the arms with the
cross are talking arms because of the similarity between "Ermeny"
and "Ermine" and also notes that these arms are attributed in the
literature to Tristan, whose empire was also called Ermenie. However, the one
does not necessarily exclude the other. Truce with the Mamluks 1281-1291 Finally, there is an exceptional
coat of arms to mention that appears in the Gelre Herald Roll of Arms. In it,
under the title 'die coninc vā aarmenyen', there is a coat of arms with
a red lion passant with a cross staff on a golden field. The shield is
covered with a helmet with the lion of the coat of arms as a crest. [10]] The lambrequines, with the Jerusalem coat
of arms, suggest that this is the coat of arms of Peter of Lusignan who was
king of Armenia from 1368 until he was murdered in Nicosia in January 1369.
He was the only Armenian king who was also (titular) king of Jerusalem. [11]] This coat of arms thus takes up the
tradition of the coat of arms of Leo I and is most likely also based on the
imagery of Cilician coins. [12]] ] In a manuscript from 1256, Leo
II is depicted with on his divetesion medallions with golden lions, above
which is a sun on a blue field. This can be explained by assuming that under
the Mongol suzerainty of Mangu Khan, Leo II also bore the rank insignia of a
Mongol monarch. According to Marco Polo, for a commander of 100,000 men,
these were a lion with a sun and a moon. [13]) Khaikosrau II of Ikonion, who
was under Mongol protection, also used this distinguishing mark on his coins.
In heraldic form, this lion is in the Segar's Roll in which a white (!) Lion
on a blue field is given for the coat of arms of the king of Armenia. In this
case, the blue could be a symbol of the fact that Armenia in fact no longer
belonged to the Roman Empire, in this case it was outside the sphere of
influence of Byzantium. Two other coats of arms are given in other rolls of
arms, namely gold, a lion rampant gardant and gold, a red lion within a red
border indented. [14]] For this, the sons of Leo II in the life of
their father are proposed. The red lion on gold later appears continuously on
the flag and in the coat of arms for Armenia. It can be found on 14th century
maps. After 1393 he stands, now crowned, in the arms of the Kings of Cyprus,
titular kings of Armenia.
1282 Segars Roll (G140): Rey de Ermenye: Azure a
lion rampant argent. [15] It is inexplicable whether the
change in color must reflect Leo II's tribute to the Sultan of Egypt, Qala'un
by the treaty of 1281. This tribute may have lasted until 1320 when Oshin of
Gorigos defeated the Mamluks at Ayas. This idea is further supported by
the fact that it can be deduced from the Vineyard Roll of Arms that the color
of the Islamic monarchs in the area south of the Mediterranean was blue.

Arms 17th c entury The Eyalet of Adana (ایالت
ادنه; Eyālet-i Adana) was
an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire, established in 1608, when it was separated
from the Eyalet of Aleppo The Ramadanids played a key role
in 15th-century Ottoman-Mamluk relations, being a buffer state located in the
Mamluk al-'Awasim frontier zone. In 1517, Selim I incorporated the beylik
into the Ottoman Empire after his conquest of the Mamluk state. The beys of Ramadanids held the administration of the
Ottoman sanjak of Adana in a hereditary manner until 1608. Dulkadir Eyalet (ایالت
ذو القادریه /
دولقادر; Eyālet-i Ẕū
l-Ḳādirīye / Ḍūlḳādir) or Marash
Eyalet ( Maraş Eyaleti) was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire. The Dulkadirids were the last of the Anatolian
emirates to yield to the Ottomans, managing to remain independent until 1521,
and were not fully incorporated into the empire until 1530. The eyalet was
established in 1522. After its disestablishment in 1864, its territories were
united with Aleppo and Diyarbekir eyalets. |
