Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Nakharar" in English language version.
The Armenian brothers Ivane and Zak'are served the Georgian Queen Tamar (reigned 1184–1213). Rising to the heights of the Georgian army and court, they achieved for themselves the status of a nakharar family, called the Zak'arians, in honor of Zak'are. Queen T'amar gave the Zak'arians control of almost all her Armenian territories, including the former Armenian capital Ani. The Zak'arians established their own vassals, comprising both surviving nakharars and new men – from among their own Armenian generals – raised to nakharar status, each with smaller territories as their own fiefs. Among the new nakharars was the Proshian clan, who were particularly important for the history of the Gladzor Gospels.
