Constantine II [1] ( Armenian: Կոստանդին Բ), also Kostandin II,[ citation needed] (unknown[ citation needed] – after February 17, 1129[ citation needed]) was the fourth lord of Armenian Cilicia [2] (1129[ citation needed]/1130 [1]).
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 died a few months after his father's death in the course of a palace intrigue. [1] Vahram of Edessa, the historian tells us that he was cast into prison and poisoned to death. [2]
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 Thoros I died without a male heir [2] and was succeeded by Leon I. [4]
