'''Hethum II''', [[Order of Friars Minor|OFM]] ({{langx|hy|Հեթում Բ}}; 1266{{nbsp}}– 17 November 1307) was king of the [[Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia]] from 1289 to 1293, 1295 to 1296 and 1299 to 1303, while Armenia was a subject state of the [[Mongol Empire]]. He abdicated twice to take vows with the [[Order of Friars Minor|Franciscans]], while still remaining the power behind the throne as "Grand Baron of Armenia" and later as Regent for his nephew. 

He was the son of [[Leo II, King of Armenia|King Leo II of Armenia]] and [[Keran, Queen of Armenia|Queen Keran]], and was part of the [[Hethumids|Hethumid dynasty]], being the grandson of [[Hethum I of Armenia|Hethum I]], who had originally submitted Cilicia to the Mongols in 1247. Hethum II was assassinated with his nephew and successor [[Leo III of Armenia|Leo III]] by the Mongol general [[Bilarghu]], who himself was later executed for this by the Mongol [[Ilkhanate|Ilkhanid]] ruler [[Öljaitü]].<ref name="stewart-2005" />
