Crusaders, Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, Levon III, 1301 - 1307 A.D.
In 1301, Levon III was made co-ruler by his uncle Hetoum II. In 1305 he was crowned king and his uncle, who officially retired, became regent. In 1305, Hetoum and Levon led the Armenian army to defeat a Mamluk raiding force at Bagras. On November 17, 1307, Levon and Hetoum were murdered with their retinue while visiting their Mongol allies' general, Bilarghu. Bilarghu had converted to Islam and sought to build a mosque in the capital city of Sis, but Hetoum had blocked the move and complained to the Mongol ilkhan, Oljeitu. Bilarghu was later executed by the Great Khan for his actions.CR89600.
