George II faces a major aristocratic revolt…

1073 CE

George II faces a major aristocratic revolt led by Niania Kvabulis-dze, Ivane Liparitis-dze, and Vardan of Svaneti in 1073.

Although the king is victorious, he has to buy the rebels’ loyalty through generously awarding them additional estates.

Soon, Georgia is attacked again by the Seljuqs, the nomadic Turkic people, who will prove to be a major menace to George II’s reign.
