Mamluk Sultanate conquers the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia
1375
The last Crusader ally in the Levant fell when Mamluk armies overran the Armenian fortress of Sis, capturing King Leo VI and ending three centuries of Armenian sovereignty on the Mediterranean coast. Leo would die in Parisian exile, the last king of a people who would wait five centuries for another state.
