The Chronique Rimée de la Petite Arménie (“The Rhymed Chronicle of Armenia Minor”) of Vahram of Edessa records that he was the son of Thoros I, lord of Armenian Cilicia.[citation needed] His mother's name is not known.[citation needed]
He and his father's deaths occurred during 1129.[1]
After the death of Thoros, his only son and heir was cast into prison by some wicked people, who administered to him a poisonous drug, thus the principality came to Leon, the brother of Thoros (…).

Other historians (e.g., Jacob G. Ghazarian, Vahan M. Kurkjian) suggest that there were no successors for Toros.[2] and was succeeded by Leon I.[4]
