    Philaretos Brachamios, also known as Philaretos Varazhnuni, was an Armenian military leader in the Byzantine Empire during the 11th century. He established an Armenian principality between 1078 and 1085, offering refuge to Armenian nobles and consolidating Armenian power, which laid the groundwork for the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia.
