During the 12th century the Bagratids of Georgia enjoyed a resurgence in power, and managed to expand into Moslem occupied Armenia. [2] Despite some complications in the reign of Giorgi III, the successes continued in the reign of the Queen Tamar. Giorgi III ( გიორგი III) (died March 27 1184 of the Bagrationi dynasty was king of Georgia from 1156 to 1184 [2] This was chiefly due to the Zakarid generals Zakarē and Ivanē. [2] Around the year 1199, they took the city of Ani, and in 1201, the grateful Tamar gave Ani to them as a fief. [2] Eventually, their territories came to resemble those of Bagratid Armenia. [1]

However, when Mongols took Ani in 1236, they had a friendly attitude towards the Zakarids. [2] They confirmed Shanshe in his fief, and even added to it the fief of Avag, son of Ivanē. Further, in 1243, they gave Akhlat to the princess T’amt’a, daughter of Ivanē. Ahlat is a historic town and a district in Turkey 's Bitlis Province in Eastern Anatolia Region. [2]
After the Mongols captured Ani in 1236, the Zakarids ruled not as vassals of the Georgians, but rather the Mongols. [1] Their descendants continued to hold Ani until the 1330's, when they lost it to a succession of Turkish dynasties, including the Kara Koyunlu, who made Ani their capital.
