Abstract:
Orbelyans were an outstanding princely family of XHI-XTV Century Armenia, who held also the ecclesiastical power of their domain - the province of Siwnik. From mid-XV Century the power of that family weakened, they lost the major part of their estates, apart from those, which they had turned beforehand into vaqfs - church domains. Although the history of XVI-XVII centuries of Orbelyans is obscure due to the lack of sufficient information, but some facts recorded in the historical sources allow us to assert their survival down to the XIX Century. According to the information of XVIII-XIX Century historical sources, the descendants of Orbelyan s were landlords (meliks) of one or few villages and representatives of the provincial ecclesiastical power of Siwnik of that period.
