- This article is about the Cilician king. For the Cilician historian, please see Sempad (Constable).
Smpad (1277- c.1310) was king of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, ruling from 1296 to 1298. He was the son of Leo III of Armenia and Kyranna de Lampronand was part of the Hetoumid-family.
Sempad seized the throne with the aid of his brother Constantine while his brothers Hethum II and Thoros were in Constantinople, and on Hethum's return, Sempad had Hethum blinded by cauterization and both brothers imprisoned at Partzerpert. Thoros was murdered there on Sempad's orders in 1298, but Constantine turned traitor again and helped Hethum overthrow Sempad, assuming the throne while Hethum's blindness healed. Sempad again plotted with Constantine to resume the throne soon after Hethum's restoration, and both were imprisoned for the rest of their lives.
