King George IV, who has become an invalid as a result of his wounds, dies prematurely at the age of 31.
The surprise attacks by the Mongols have left the Georgians in confusion as to the identity of their attackers: the record of one contemporary chronicler indicates that he is unaware of the nature of the attackers and does not mention them by name.
In 1223, when the Mongols have seemingly deferred their plans regarding Georgia, King George IV's sister and successor Queen Rusudan writes, in a letter to Pope Honorius III, that the Georgians had presumed the Mongols were Christians because they fought Muslims, but they had turned out to be pagans.
