Thoros III of Armenia

Thoros III (c. 1271–1298), a son of Leo II of Armenia, became king of Armenian Cilicia when his brother Hethum II abdicated in 1293. In 1288 he married Margaret of Lusignan; their son Leo III later inherited the crown. In 1295 he recalled Hethum as co-ruler.

In 1296 the brothers took their sister Rita to Constantinople to marry Michael IX Palaiologos, only to find Sempad had seized the throne. Imprisoned at Bardzrberd, he was strangled there on 23 July 1298 on Sempad's orders.
