Notes

  1. ^
    Adarnase IV restored Georgian kingship in 888 [3] as the Kingdom of the Iberians and this would go on to dominate the political life of Georgia for a thousand years. [4]
  2. ^
    David III, being childless, took advice from the Georgian aristocracy and adopted his kin, prince Bagrat in 975. [5] This will lead and pave the way for the unification of Georgia. [6]
  3. ^
    King Bagrat III, the first monarch of unified Georgia was ruthless in his state administration. While visiting Castle of Panaskerti in Tao, king summoned his two cousins, Sumbat III and Gurgen. They were arrested and executed. Sumbat’s son Bagrat, and Gurgen’s son Demetrius, escaped to the Byzantine Empire. The Bagrationi line of Tao was already extinct since 941; [7] now with purging his own cousins the line of Klarjeti was also gone and no rival could ever claim the Georgian throne. [8]
