The Georgian–Shaddadid wars were a series of medieval conflicts between the Kingdom of Georgia and the Muslim Shaddadid dynasty over control of strategic cities in the South Caucasus, particularly Ani and Tbilisi. Beginning in the early 11th century and lasting until the end of the 12th, these wars saw shifting alliances, repeated sieges, and decisive Georgian victories under kings like Bagrat IV, David IV, and Tamar. The wars culminated in the eventual annexation of Shaddadid territories and the fall of the dynasty.
