Gochashvili
The House of Gochashvili ( ka, გოჩაშვილი) was an old Georgian noble family, a collateral branch of the royal Bagrationi dynasty of Kartli, which flourished from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth century. It is now extinct. History The House of Gochashvili has descended from Alexander (), a younger son of Constantine II, the last king of a united Georgia and the first king of the independent kingdom of Kartli. The surname itself derives from Alexander's grandson Gocha, a notable military commander, who was killed in a battle with the Ottoman army at Gori in 1599. In the middle of the seventeenth century, the family were in opposition to their reigning pro-Iranian cousins, and the two Gochashvili, Giorgi and Ioram, the father and the son, were blinded in 1638 and 1664, respectively. Ioram had even aspired to become king of Kartli and, relying on the support of the Duke of Aragvi, had plotted the overthrow of Vakhtang V, king of Kartli and member of the H ...

Constantine II Of Georgia
Constantine II ( ka, კონსტანტინე II, tr) (c. 1447 – 1505), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was the 23rd and last king ('' mepe'') of United Georgia from 1478 until his death. Early in the 1490s, he had to recognise the independence of his rival rulers of Imereti and Kakheti, and to confine his power to Kartli. In 1505, Constantine II died, and was succeeded by his son David X. Life Constantine II was the son of Prince Demetrius and his wife, Princess Gulkan of Imereti. In 1465, together with his uncle, the Georgian king George VIII, Constantine was taken prisoner by the rebel prince Qvarqvare II Jaqeli, atabeg of Samtskhe (principality in southern Georgia). He managed, however, to escape the captivity, and taking opportunity of the Imeretian king Bagrat VI’s absence at the campaign in Kartli, vainly attempted to seize control of the Imeretian capital Kutaisi. Despite the failure, he considered himself king and later won some power in Kartli. However ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Prince Khosro Of Imereti
Khosro ( ka, ხოსრო; died c. 1570) was a Georgian prince of the Bagrationi dynasty of the Kingdom of Imereti, who led an abortive revolt against King George II of Imereti in 1568. Family background The 18th-century Georgian historian Prince Vakhushti makes Khosro a grandson of Prince Vakhtang of Imereti, a version followed by the latter-day scholars such as Marie-Félicité Brosset and Cyril Toumanoff. More recent genealogy, currently established in Georgia and based on the identification of Khosro as a cousin of George II in a contemporary document, considers Khosro as a son, not a grandson, of Prince Vakhtang. Khosro appears to have had a daughter, unknown by the name, who was married to Prince Constantine, a grandson of King Constantine II of Georgia. Career In 1568, Khosro led a revolt of the Imeretian nobles against King George II. A major driving force behind the rebellion was Levan I Dadiani, Prince of Mingrelia, who made common cause with the Imeretian oppo ...

Spaspet
''Spaspet'' ( ka, სპასპეტი) was a feudal office in Georgia that originated in ancient Iberia. It is usually translated in English as High Constable. The institution of ''spaspet'', like its rough equivalent ''sparapet'' in neighboring Armenia, was designed under the influence of the Sassanian Persian ''spahbed'', but differed in that it was a non-hereditary rank and included not only military, but also civil functions.Robert Bedrosian, "Sparapet", in: Joseph Reese Strayer (1983), ''Dictionary of the Middle Ages'', p. 460. Scribner, . According to the medieval Georgian chronicles, the rank of ''spaspet'' was introduced by the first king P’arnavaz in the 3rd century BC. At the same time, it served as ''ex officio'' duke of Inner Iberia (Shida Kartli), around Mtskheta and Uplis-Tsikhe. It seems that this office was in fact occupied by the member of the Iberian royal family or an especially high dignitary next in seniority to the king. The Roman geographer Strab ...

Bagrat, Prince of Mukhrani ( ka, ბაგრატ I მუხრანბატონი, ''Bagrat I Mukhranbatoni''), (c. 1487 – c. 1540) was the third son of King Constantine II of Georgia, of the Bagrationi dynasty, and the founder of the House of Mukhrani.

George IX Of Kartli
George IX ( ka, გიორგი IX, tr) (died 1539) was a king (''mepe'') of the Georgian kingdom of Kartli from 1525 to 1527 (or 1534). Biography The second son of the Georgian king Constantine II and his wife, Queen Tamar, he succeeded on the abdication of his elder brother, David X, in 1525. The relations of the king with other members of the royal family were strained. That may have forced George to withdraw to a monastery under the name of Gerasime, leaving the throne to his energetic nephew, Luarsab I. The sources are confused about when exactly George IX abdicated, some claiming it occurred in 1527 (more accepted date) while others placing the event around 1534.

David X Of Kartli
David X ( ka, დავით X) (c. 1470s or 1480s –1526) was the second king ('' mepe'') of the Kingdom of Kartli from 1505 to 1525. Associated with the throne as a child, he became king on the death of his father and from then on had to endure invasions from the Kingdom of Imereti and Kingdom of Kakheti. A reformer, he succeeded in subduing the army and destroying the power of the nobles by abolishing the semi-independent principalities that were ruining the unity of the country, before uniting eastern Georgia under a single sceptre. David X is also known to have survived another invasion by Persia, and is thus considered to be the first in a series of eleven kings who fought against their Safavid neighbours over the next two centuries. Life David was born after 1473.. He was the eldest son of King Constantine II of Georgia and his wife, Queen Tamar. In 1488, in the midst of war against the Turkomans, he was associated with his other brothers to his father's throne, bu ...
