Philip of Antioch
Philip of Antioch (died 1226, poisoned in prison) was king consort of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia from 1222 to 1224 as the husband of queen Isabella of Armenia, the daughter of the king Leo I.[1] He was a son of Bohemund IV, Prince of Antioch and Plaisance Embriaco of Gibelet.[1]
In June 1222, the regent of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, Constantine of Baberon, arranged for Isabella to marry Philip.[2] Before his coronation as king consort, Philip swore to uphold the Armenian Apostolic rites and Armenian customs.[2] His favoritism towards his French advisors and failure to ensure Armenian church rites instigated a revolt by the Armenians in 1225.[1] Philip was captured, imprisoned, and later poisoned.[1]
