Reading about Georgia and the Ossets is akin to that old saw about watching the making of sausages.
The Ossets are Iranian, no they’re Turkish.
They were forced out of Anatolia in the 10th century by the Turks.
They were forced from the Don river area in the 1200s by the Mongols or was that the Turks.
They were relocated to North Ossetia by the Georgians in the 1400s.
But, they were in control of Gori in the early 1300s.
A three way struggle for the Georgian crown ended with the faction supported by the Mongols victorious. The new Georgian King then lead a three year against the Ossets at Gori.
After some time after liberation of Gori on the mount Lomisi there was encounters between citizens of Tskhradzma and mountaineers of Aragvi.
The goal of the battles was to submit the mountaineers under the rule of Tskhradzma eristavi, but in spite of defeat, the Aragvian mountaineers kept the independence.
