| | Hayton - LoveToKnow 1911 |
 | | HAYTON (HAITHON, HETHUM), king of Little Armenia or Cilicia from 1224 to 1269, traveller in western and central Asia, Mongolia, andc., was the son of Constantine Rupen, and became heir to the throne of Lesser Armenia by his marriage with Isabella, daughter and only child of Leo II. |
 | | After Mangu's accession in 1251, Batu (the most powerful of the Mongol princes and generals, and the conqueror - in name at least - of eastern Europe, now commanding on the line of the Volga) summoned Hayton to the court of the new grand khan. |
 | | From Talas Hayton made a detour to the north-west to meet another Mongol prince, Sartach the son of Batu; after which he ascended the valley of the Syr Dania, crossed into Trans-Oxiana, visited Samarkand and Bokhara, and passed the Oxus apparently near Charjui. |
