Impostors

Another example of such great impostors was Ephrem Leo Jacob Koricosz "prince of Armenia" who claimed to have descended from Mary of Hungary, daughter of Louis I of Anjou and from Jacob VI Prince of Armenia
Koricosz turned up in London in the autumn of 1849 when the sympathy for the Hungarians was at its height and claimed that he was an implacable enemy of the Czar, who had disinherited him as Armenian ruler and oppressed his "brothers" the Hungarians
Koricosz won favors for a long time but was unmasked as the son of a Dutch merchant called Joannis
