About Gagik Abu Morvan Artsruni
Gagik Abumrvan Artsruni was an Armenian prince of the Artsruni line. In 887 he was installed as regent of Vaspurakan and guardian of the three under-age sons of Grigor-Derenik Artsruni, but ended up usurping their place. In the end, as the dispossessed princes sought Muslim aid, Gagik secured the support of the Armenian king, Smbat I Bagratuni, and in 896/7 was formally recognized as prince of Vaspurakan. He ruled until he was killed in 898 by the middle of the three brothers, Gagik, and was succeeded by Gagik's eldest brother, Ashot-Sargis Artsruni.
