About Ichkanik d'Héréthie

Ishkhanik Sumbatishvili was a monarch of the Georgian Kingdom of Hereti during the 10th century. A member of the Sumbatishvili dynasty, founded by his father Adarnase as the senior branch of a powerful South Caucasian noble family, he succeeded his father in 943 and ruled jointly with his mother, Dinar. Together with Queen Dinar, Ishkhanik led Hereti out of the monophysite influence of Armenia and converted the kingdom to Georgian Orthodoxy. His eight-year reign was characterized by closer diplomatic relations with the Georgian Bagrationi dynasty and by a Muslim invasion launched by the Salarids, who temporarily reduced Hereti to vassal status before its liberation around 949.
