For eight years, from 1722 to 1730, under the strong, wise leadership of Davit' Bek, the Armenians carried on the unequal fight until the Ottomans bested them following the defection of certain Armenian generals and princes after the death of Davit'. The actions of these men arose out of silly squabbling for power. Nevertheless, these battles are some of the most glorious pages of recent Armenian history, and Davit' is one of the Armenian people's most popular heroes. His name is linked in the popular imagination with the legendary figure of the same name, Sasuntsi Davit' (Davit' of Sasun), hero of the national epos.
