Using his close relationship with Sartaq Khan (r. 1255–1256), he succeeded in separating Khachen from Georgia.[A] Hasan Jalal II unable to tolerate unreasonable taxation and mounting religious pressure, participated in an anti-Mongol uprising in 1260, allying himself with the Georgian king David IV Narin (1225-1293).[2]

In 1211, Georgian army under Ivane Mkhargrdzeli wrested control of Syunik region from the Eldiguzids, and Liparit III (son of Eligum) became governor of Syunik (Vayots Dzor, in Kotayk, Gegharkunik and Kayen)[3] Smbat II visited Karakorum in 1256 to secure sovereignty over his dominions from the Georgian king.[B]

In order to re-establish the Orbelian House’s authority, a brother of Smbat, Tarsaich enthroned young King Demetrius II (r. 1270–1289) on the Georgian throne. Demetrius also appointed Tarsaich as atabeg (tutor) of the Georgian lands.[1] The Orbelians survived the arrival of Timurids in the 1380s, Smbat, the last firm Orbelian ruler of Syunik chose the wrong side and, on the capture of his stronghold of Vorotnaberd in 1410, decamped for Georgia where he died. Around 1434/5, Alexander encouraged the Beshken II Orbelian to attack the Kara Koyunlu clansmen in Syunik and, for his victory, granted him Lori under terms of vassalage.
