  Morphia of Melitene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morphia was the daughter of an Armenian nobleman named Gabriel (or Khoril, in Armenian), the ruler of the city of Melitene.
Melitene was a neighbour of the crusader County of Edessa, and Gabriel soon became a vassal of the county.
Morphia went back north when Baldwin was taken captive while patrolling the borders of Edessa in 1123, and helped ensure his release by offering their young daughter Ioveta as a hostage.
