It resulted in a decisive defeat of the army of King Bagrat IV by the rebel feudal lord Liparit IV , Duke of Kldekari . A feud between Bagrat IV and his former general , Liparit Baghvashi , a powerful duke of Kldekari , erupted during their campaign against the Georgian city of Tbilisi ( 1037 – 1040 ) , which was ruled by Arab emirs . The king , advised by Liparit ’ s opponents , made peace with Emir Ali ibn - Jafar , a sworn enemy of the duke , in 1040 . In retaliation , Liparit revolted and endeavoured to put Demetre , Bagrat ’ s half - brother , on the Georgian throne . However , he had no success and ended hostilities with Bagrat , receiving the title of Grand Duke of Kartli , but giving up his son , Ioane , as a hostage of the king . Soon Liparit rose again in rebellion , requesting Byzantine aid . Supported by a Byzantine force and an army of Kakheti ( a kingdom in eastern Georgia ) , he released his son and again invited the pretender prince Demetre to be crowned king . The latter died at the very beginning of the war , but Liparit continued to fight the king ’ s forces . The royal army commanded by King Bagrat was joined by a Varangian detachment of 1000 men , probably a subdivision of the expedition of the Swedish Viking , Ingvar the Far - Travelled . According to an old Georgian chronicle , they had landed at Bashi , a place by the mouth of the Rioni river , in Western Georgia . The two armies fought a decisive battle near the village of Sasireti , eastern Georgia , in the spring of 1042 . In fierce fighting , the royal army was defeated and retreated west . Liparit seized the key fortress of Artanuji , thereby becoming the virtual ruler of the southern and eastern provinces of Georgia . Defeated in the battle , it was not until 1059 that Bagrat IV was able to restore his authority in the kingdom , forcing the renegade Duke Liparit into exile in Constantinople .
