Ahlat Shah-i Armens (1100–1185)

In the decades following the Battle of Manzikert (1071), one of the Turkmen vassal dynasties of the Seljuk Turks gained control of Ahlat, in the former Armenian heartland. These Muslim emirs took the title Shah-i Armen ("King of the Armenians"); the same title Islamic sources had previously used for the Bagratuni kings.

  • Sökmen I, 1100–1111
  • Zahireddin Ibrahim, 1111–1127
  • Ahmed, 1127
  • Qara Iskander, 1420–1437 It was initially ruled by the Rubenids, an offshoot of the Bagratuni dynasty. While the Rubenid rulers were initially regional princes, their close ties with the Western world after the First Crusade saw the principality recognised as a kingdom under Leo I by the Holy Roman Empire in 1198. The rulers of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilia thereafter styled themselves simply as "King of Armenia". of Leo IV (House of Lusignan)
  • Constantine III, 1344–1363, unknown lineage; seized the throne and then abdicated after a reign of two years
  • Leo V, 1375–1393, former king of Armenia

Savoyard claimants (1485–1946)

Charlotte, who ruled as Queen of Cyprus 1458–1464, was deposed in 1464 but maintained claims to her titles in exile. In 1485, she ceded all her titular claims to her first cousin once removed, Charles I, Duke of Savoy. As a consequence of Charlotte's sale, the House of Savoy is often seen as the heirs of the Lusignan kings of Cyprus and Armenian Cilicia.

The title "King of Cyprus, Jerusalem and Armenia" was maintained even after the Savoyard dynasts became kings of Italy, for instance being used by both Victor Emmanuel II and Victor Emmanuel III.
