Грузинские крестоносцы - кто расскажет?

Время от времени встречаю разрозненные упоминания об участии грузинских отрядов в событиях Крестовых походов. Архимандрит Рафаил (Карелин) в проповеди "О святых мучениках грузинских" приводит цитату из письма некого неназванного французского крестоносца писавшего, епископу: "В нашем войске есть отряды грузин и армян, которые также хотят принять участие в освобождении Святой Земли. В грузинском отряде везут гроб с телом царицы Тамары. При жизни своей она хотела посетить Палестину и поклониться Гробу Господню, но не успела этого сделать и перед смертью просила сына своего Георгия Лаша, чтобы тот хоть мертвую, но привез ее в Иерусалим, и сын исполнил желание и благословение своей матери". И тут на форуме я тоже нашел упоминание о том, что царь Георгий Лаша был с крестоносцами в Иерусалиме. А можно ли где-то обо всем этом и, может быть, о других эпизодах почитать поподробнее? Спасибо.
