Stepanos Orbelian's Vision of Restoring Statehood

The Pope calls on King Hetum II of Cilicia to adopt the Catholic faith and unite the two churches. As a result, the Armenian King of Cilicia had to receive the approval of the Pope, and the Armenian Apostolic Church had to make painful concessions. This agenda is opposed by the Catholicos of Constantinople, Constantine II. King Hetum II accuses the Catholicos of worldly living. High-ranking clergy appear, who express their readiness to oppose the Catholicos. A council is convened in the capital, Sis, where they decide to remove the Catholicos from the throne and imprison him. 3 years later, the Mamluks of Egypt capture the Catholicosate of Rome and, with the support of the King, capture the new Catholicos, who has ascended to the throne, and take him to Egypt, where he dies.
