The medieval city of Ani was a center of confrontation in the 12th and 13th centuries. It was captured fives times by the Kingdom of Georgia, and recaptured three times by Shaddadids,[1] until it came under the Mongol rule in 1239:

  • Siege of Ani (1064), when a large Seljuk army under Alp Arslan attacked.
  • Siege of Ani (1124), a siege led by David IV of Georgia against the Shaddadids during the Georgian–Seljuk wars.
  • Siege of Ani (1161), a siege led by the George III of Georgia against the Shaddadids,[2] and a subsequent siege by the Muslim coalition of Shah-Armens, Saltukids, Artuqids and Emirate of Kars against the Kingdom of Georgia in an attempt to recapture the city.[3]
  • Siege of Ani (1174), a siege led by George III of Georgia against the Shaddadids.[4]
  • Siege of Ani (1199), a siege led by Tamar of Georgia against the Shaddadids.
  • Siege of Ani (1226), a siege led by the Mongol Empire against the Zakarid ruler of Ani.
  • Siege of Ani (1239), a sack of the city by the Mongols.
