Abuleti was a loyal nobleman from Kakheti,[1] the founder of the Abuletisdze family, and a commander under the Georgian King David IV.
In 1110, Abuleti, alongside George of Chqondidi, Theodore, and Ivane I Orbeli, launched a successful retaliation against the Seljuk settlement, recapturing the city of Samshvilde, which was subsequently incorporated into the royal dominions without any significant battle.
[3][4] In 1124, King David IV captured Ani and exiled Emir Abu'l-Aswar and his eight sons to Abkhazia.
[5][6] In 1126, Fadl, the son of Abu'l-Aswar, gathered troops from the Seljuk Sultan Ahmad Sanjar and used them to besiege Ani.
Abuleti denounced his own son to the king, who responded decisively: Ivane was beheaded, and Vakhtang was blinded, ultimately leading to his death.
