Princess Isabella of Armenia

Princess Isabella of Armenia (died c.1321) was the daughter of Leo III of Armenia.

She was married to Amalric de Lusignan, by whom she had six children:

# Hugues de Lusignan# Henri de Lusignan (died c.1321) # Guy de Lusignan (died 1344) # John de Lusignan (died 1343)# Bohémond de Lusignan (died 1344)# Marie de Lusignan, who married her cousin Leo IV of Armenia

At some time between 1320 and 1323, Isabella, along with her son Henri, was imprisoned and murdered by Oshin of Corycos. Oshin, who was acting as regent for Leo V of Armenia, wanted to reduce the number of claimants to the throne of the Cilician Kingdom.
