Georgian victory The Rebellion in Pkhovi and Didoya (Georgian: ფხოველთა და დიდოელთა აჯანყება, romanized: pkhovelta da didoelta ajanq'eba) was a 1212 uprising of the mountainous communities in the Kingdom of Georgia, against the attempts of transplanting feudal practices and forceful Christianization of the locals.
In the last years of Queen Tamar's reign, an uprising began in the mountain areas of Pkhovi, Mtiuleti, and Didoeti.
Although mountainous communities were nominally under the direct rule of the Georgian crown, they had never been completely integrated into the feudal system of medieval Georgia, and remained relatively little affected by implantation of aristocratic landowners.
The refractory independence of Mountainous clans led to the sporadic incursions of royal troops aided by Durdzuks tribes bent on forcing them into submission.
The contemporary chronicle recounts a bloody three-month campaign of pacification by Tamar's general Ivane Mkhargrdzeli, that left several villages and shrines destroyed.
