Isaac the Armenian

Isaac the Armenian (Latin: Isachius Armenus; Ancient Greek: Ισαάκ, romanized: Isaák) was an exarch of Ravenna hailing from the Kamsarakan clan.

The Chronicle of Fredegar records a story of how Isaac slew Tasso, duke of Tuscany, by deceit for the benefit of the Lombard king Arioald.

[2] In 638, the Eastern Roman Emperor Heraclius demanded that the new Pope Severinus sign his Ecthesis, a Monothelite profession of faith.

[3] Some time later, Maurikios Chartoularios attempted to repeat the action; however, in order to avoid sharing the wealth, he denied recognition to the exarch.

A battle fought between the Lombards and troops of the Exarchate on the banks of the Panaro ended in defeat for the Eastern Romans, with several thousand soldiers killed.
