Abul-Gharib Arsruni

Abu'lgharib Artsuni or Abul Gharib Arsruni was Lord of Birejik and chief of the Pahlavuni clan. He was installed as governor of Birejik by Baldwin I following the crushing of an Armenian conspiracy in 1098. He joined Baldwin I and Kogh Vasil in their campaign in the north in 1109. Finally, he was displaced by Baldwin II in 1116 who gave Birejik to his cousin Waleran of Le Puiset, who married another of Abu’lghrib’s daughters.
