Gosdantin I, the younger brother of Hetoum II, initially took his brother's side against the usurper Smpad. Gosdantin later captured the city of Sis and declared himself king, apparently with the support of Smpad. Hetoum, partially blinded by Smpad, marched against both rebels and quickly defeated them. Both were exiled to Constantinople. Gosdantin struck some of the rarest coins of Cilician Armenia.
