The book also explores the challenges faced by the kingdom, including invasions by the Mongols and the Mamluks, as well as internal struggles for power.Throughout the book, Kurkjian draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Armenian chronicles, European travel accounts, and archaeological evidence, to provide a detailed and nuanced picture of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia.
