Chormaqan
Chormaqan was a Mongol general who led the conquest of Iran and the Caucasus for the Great Khan Ögedei. Sent in 1230 against the Khwarazmian ruler Jalal al-Din, he drove him out of north-western Iran, and from 1236 his armies overran Georgia and Armenia, forcing Queen Rusudan to submit. He governed the region from the Mughan plain until illness ended his command around 1241.
