  Rusudan - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In the Autumn of 1225, Georgia was attacked by the Khwarezmian shah Jelal ad-Din Mingburnu, pursued by the Mongols.
The Georgians suffered bitter defeat at the battle of Garni, and the royal court with Queen Rusudan moved to Kutaisi, when the Georgian capital Tbilisi was besieged by the Khwarezmians.
Then, Rusudan made an alliance with the neighbouring Seljuk rulers of Rüm and Khlat, but the Georgians were routed by the Khwarezmians at Bolnisi, before the allies could arrive (1228).

 Seventh Crusade - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Seventh Crusade was a crusade led by Louis IX of France from 1248 to 1254.
In 1244 the Khwarezmians retook Jerusalem, after the end of a 10-year truce following the Sixth Crusade.

However, the nobles of Outremer, led by the regent John of Ibelin, not only felt more could have been recovered militarily, but also resented his attempts to impose Imperial authority over their kingdom, resulting in a number of military confrontations both on the mainland and on Cyprus.
The recovery was short-lived - not enough territory had been ceded to make the city defensible, and in 1244 the Ayyubids invited the Khwarezmian clans displaced by the Mongols to reconquer the city.
The Seventh Crusade under Louis IX of France was inspired by this massacre, but it accomplished little save to replace the Ayyubids and Khwarezmians with the more powerful Mamluks as the Crusaders' main enemy in 1250.

 Channel 4 - History - Tit for tat
Genghis saw the potential in a commercial partnership with the Khwarezmians so he sent a caravan comprising 500 merchants to establish official trade ties with his neighbour.
However, Inalchuq, governor of the city of Otrar, murdered all the merchants and seized all their goods – silk, silver, gold, weapons – claiming that their presence was a part of a plot against the empire (although he could equally well have been motivated by greed).
By 1220, the Khwarezmians had been taken over by the Mongol empire, which soon reached from the China Sea to Vienna.
