The Lekapenoi were of Armenian origin, a family of modest means but not necessarily of ignoble descent. (Possibly they may have sprung from the Armenian princely house of Gabelian (p44#79)). The name of the family is derived from Lakape near Melitene in the anti-Taurus, the birthplace of Emperor Romanus I. The fall of the family was as rapid as its rise; the last male Lekapenos, a certain Konstantinos, is mentioned in the eleventh century. [Ref: Brook ByzantineAnc p19]
