History[]
Zakare II Zakarian "Erkaynabazuk" (Armenian: lit. 'Longarm') or Zakaria II "Mkhargrdzeli" (Georgian: lit. 'Long-armed'), was an Armenian general of Queen Tamar of Georgia's army during the late 12th and early 13th centuries. He was the ruler and governor (1190-1212) of feudal lands in the Kingdom of Georgia. He and his father Sargis initially supported Prince Demna and his Orbellian nobles' revolt in 1177 against the Georgian King George III, until they changed sides and instead supported the monarchy against the rebels. For this, George III gave Sargis and Zakare lands and titles of generals of the Georgian army. After the death of George III in 1184 and the ascension of his daughter, Tamar, Zakare, together with his brother Ivane, leads as commander of the united Georgian-Armenian armies in various military campaigns in Armenia and Persia against the Turks between 1193 and 1210. After his dead in 1212, his aging brother Ivane and the Zakare son, Shanshe, fights against the Seljuks and the first Mongol invasions in the 1220s and 1230s.
