Research Notes:
886-912: Eastern Emperor [Ref: Watney WALLOP #355, Weis AR7 #141A]

Cyril Mango, "Eudocia Ingerina, the Normans and the Macedonian Dynasty", Zbornik Radova byzantinoskog instituta 14/15:17-27 (1973) writes on p27: "as for the paternity of Leo VI, we shall never, of course, know the truth beyond any reasonable doubt; but the evidence as we have it gives stronger support to Michael's claim than it does to Basil's." [Ref: Brook ByzantineAnc p38#11, Mango Byzantium XV-27]

one can no doubt never know the trust of his birth, so the question appears to embroil us today [Ref: Settipani LGA p10]

Leo VI's mother was Eudocia Ingerina. His father was either her lover Michael III or her husband Basil I.
If Leo VI was the son of Michael III then a very plausible connection to the Armenian noble family of Mamikonian exists through Michael's mother the empress Theodora, daughter of the turmarch Marinos, probably brother of Manuel Mamikonian.
If Leo VI was the son of Basil I then Armenian connections are much murkier, though they undoubtedly exist. [Ref: Chris Bennett SGM 12/18/1995]

The Logothete states explicitely that Leo was Michael's son; he implies the same of Stephen, and says that only Alexander was a legitimate son of Basil. These allegations were accepted by historians up to and including Vogt's Basile I (1908). Bury, writing in 1912, rightly pointed out that it is impossible to accept as proven such statements about paternity. Today [1973] all historians take it for a fact that on the contrart, Leo was Basil's son. This revirement of historians is due to an article by Adontz (1933) who based himself on the then recently published funeral oration by Leo VI -- it is a document of the most patent insincerity, and does not prove anything at all; Adontz, an Armenien, was bent on showing that the Macedonian dynasty was of Armenian origin [Ref: Mango Byzantium XV-23]
