Details
Smbat Sefedinyan-Artsruni (died circa 1471) was the last King of the Armenians, reigning from 1465 to 1471. A member of the Sefedinyan dynasty, Smbat was the nephew of Catholicos Zakaria III of Aghtamar and claimed descent from the royal Artsruni family of Vaspurakan. Following the fall of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia in 1375, the Armenian Church, led by Zakaria III, sought to restore an Armenian kingdom, gaining the support of Jahanshah, the leader of the Karakoyunlu tribe. Smbat was crowned with Jahanshah's approval, though his rule was limited to Aghtamar Island and the shores of Lake Van. While short-lived, his reign reflected the enduring Armenian aspiration for statehood.
