An image from Hayton's work La Flor des Estoires, shows Hayton remitting his report on the Mongols to Pope Clement V in 1307.
Hayton of Corycus (also Hethum, Het'um, and variants;[1] Armenian: Հեթում Պատմիչ, romanized: Hetʿowm Patmičʿ, lit. 'Hethum the Historian'; c. 1240 – c. 1310/1320[2]) was a medieval Armenian nobleman, monk and historiographer.
Hayton is the author of La Flor des estoires de la terre d'Orient ("Flower of the Histories of the East";[2] Latin: Flos historiarum terre Orientis), a historiographical work about the history of Asia, especially about the Muslim conquests and the Mongol invasion, which he dictated at the request of Pope Clement V in 1307, while he was at Poitiers. The Old French original text was recorded by one Nicolas Faulcon, who also prepared a Latin translation. The work was widely disseminated in the Late Middle Ages and was influential in shaping western European views of the Orient.[3]
