Hethum I had abdicated in 1269 in favor of his son, and entered the Franciscan order, dying a year later.

Leo is known as a pious king, devoted to Christianity.

He pursues active commercial relations with the West, by renewing trade agreements with the Italians and establishing new ones with the Catalans.

He also endeavors to reinforce the Mongol alliance, as his father Hethum I had submitted Armenia to Mongol authority in 1247.
