Մի դրվագ Կիլիկիայի հայկական թագավորության և եկեղեցու հարաբերությունների պատմությունից (1198-1219) (An Episode from the History of Relations between the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the Church, 1198-1219)
Zhamkochyan, Nelli · 2023
Treats the international recognition of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and the coronation of Prince Levon II, using medieval Armenian and foreign chronicles alongside modern scholarship. Zhamkochyan reconstructs the favourable international configuration of the late 1180s to 1198 and the parallel negotiations Cilicia conducted with the Holy Roman Empire and Byzantium. She gives particular weight to the confessional concessions the Papacy and Byzantium tried to impose, and to the counter-strategy adopted by the Cilician state and the catholicosate at Hromkla. She concludes that Levon was first anointed by Conrad of Wittelsbach, the papal representative, and subsequently blessed by Catholicos Grigor VI Apirat.
