  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 p19]
