The Turco-Mongol Invasions and the Lords of Armenia in the 13 ...

MSngke:
...With Sartakh was the pious prince of
Xa$en, Jalal, who had gone to reveal to hia
supreme lord the diaaters he had borne from
governor Arghun, from whom he had barely
escaped deatK, thanks to the TaSiks. tAnd he
gave him a document [entitling him] to rule
his princedom independently, and to fear no
one. For Sartakh liked Jalal on account of .
the prince's Christianity, since he too was
Christian. 1.
Apparently, around 1273 Sargis Jaqeli also received
2
in.tii status . During the same decade the cities of
Kara, T'elavi, Belak'an "and many other lands" were
separated from royal control and given by the Mongols
to Sadun Arcruni/Mahkanaberdeli .
