Is this really true, if so thats a pretty sweet victory.

"The size of the army is still a matter of debate, with numbers ranging from fantastic 600,000 Turks (Chronicles of Armenian monk Matrhew of Edessa) and almost 800,000 men ("Bella Antiochena", Galterii Cancelarii) to more realistic numbers of some 100,000 men. In any case, the Turks had a much superior army since Georgians could master only 56,000 men, including some 200 Crusaders."

 

 Even that website you provided Datuna recognises that the sources greatly inflated the number of Turks in the battle, 400,000 men is pure fantasy, 100,000 is much more realistic, but it could be even less. Its a fine victory that doesn't need exaggerated accounts to help it out.

No, I didn't know...but then again, why would I?

They are white my white friend.

I think thats named after some or other King George of England (I-VI) Don't you?

I will tell u the story of battle how 1500 men destroyed 100 000 army..

King Davit was was in ''Nacharmagevi'' (complex of church) with nobels, and suddenly he was aquanted that turks had crossed the border of the country and camped 200 miles away from that place.

The kind called the army but 1500 men were ready just in time. Without any doubt he lead the army and in the night he attacked the anamy camps. The anamy maybe expected more ''Formal Battle" having no idea they would be attacked so timely. I agree with you that maybe we didn't destroyed the hole enemy but that was enough to make them run.

Wait! Byzantines had three queens: Theodora (not Justinian's wife), Zoe and Irene. On which of these periods it was?

as for Peter.....strange story......one of the georgian king (at this time georgia was devided in 5 parts) was at the marrige of  peter's mother as a guest from georgia, at that time russia realy needed Georgia as strong as never to protect itself from persians and turks from the south. All of a sudden the georgian king was given a sack and sent to georgia saying formally "Not to ready to eccept such high honorable guest. If you see the face of the georgian king he is the very image of his sons.  (10 years ago georgian sculptor made the sculpt of peter in moscow and russians were grumbling becouse the georgian was constructing the sculpture of "Georgian''.
