Ablgharib

Ablgharib (Armenian: Աբուլ Ղարիբ) was an Armenian 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 to lift Mawdud's siege on Edessa in 1110. Finally, he was displaced by Baldwin II, following a year of siege, in 1117. Baldwin II gave Birejik to his cousin Waleran of Le Puiset, who married another of Ablgharib's daughters.
