Biography
[edit]Abuleti was a loyal Kakhetian nobleman,[1] founder of the Abuletisdze family and commander of the Georgian king David IV.
In 1110, Abuleti, together with George of Chqondidi, Theodore and Ivane I Orbeli, retaliated against the Seljuk settlement and recaptured the city of Samshvilde, which was added to the royal dominions, without a major battle.[2] Following this capture, the Seljuks abandoned much of their occupied territories, allowing Georgian troops to capture Dzerna.[3][4]
In 1124, King David IV captured Ani and exiled emir Abu'l-Aswar and his eight sons to Abkhazia. King David IV appointed Abuleti and his son Ivane as governors of Ani.[5][6]
In 1126, Abu l-Aswar's son, Fadl, acquired troops from the Seljuk Sultan Ahmad Sanjar which he used to besiege Ani. As David IV's successor, King Demetrius I, did not send reinforcements to relieve Ani, Abuleti, learning of David IV's death and afraid of Turkish danger, surrendered Ani to Fadl.[7][6]
