Tamar Of Imereti (died 1455)
Tamar ( ka, თამარი) was a daughter of the Western Georgian King Alexander I of Imereti, and the Queen consort of Georgia, as the second wife of Alexander I of Georgia. Biography Tamar was born at the end of the 14th century. Her father was Alexander I of Imereti, King of Western Georgia who reigned de facto from 1387 until his death in 1389. Little is known about her mother, Anna, the daughter of an Orbeliani prince. Around 1414/1415, Tamar was married to King Alexander I of Georgia, who had reigned since 1412. She bore the king four children. In 1442, Alexander abdicated his kingdom which he left to the eldest son he had from his first wife, Dulandoukht, daughter of Beshken Orbelian, Vakhtang IV. Alexander therefore retired to a monastery under the name of Athanasius and died in 1446, thus leaving Tamar at the mercy of his stepson. However, she survived her two stepsons Vakhtang and Demetrius, and it was during the reign of her own son, George VIII, in 1455, t ...

Alexander I Of Georgia
Alexander I the Great (, ''Aleksandre I Didi'') (1386 – between August 26, 1445 and March 7, 1446), of the Bagrationi house, was king ('' mepe'') of Georgia from 1412 to 1442. Despite his efforts to restore the country from the ruins left by the Turkomans warlords and Timur's invasions, Georgia never recovered and faced the inevitable fragmentation that was followed by a long period of stagnation. Alexander was the last ruler of a united Georgia which was relatively free from foreign domination. In 1442, he abdicated the throne and retired to a monastery. Life Alexander was the eldest son of Constantine I of Georgia and his wife Princess Natia Amirejibi, daughter of the Georgian diplomat prince Kutsna Amirejibi. He was brought up by his grandmother (Natia's mother) Rusa (died 1413), an educated and religious noblewoman, who greatly influenced the future king’s preoccupations and his enthusiasm for religious building. The talented and brave ruler successfully managed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kingdom Of Kakheti
The Kingdom of Kakheti ( ka, კახეთის სამეფო, tr; also spelled ''Kaxet'i'' or ''Kakhetia'') was a late medieval and early modern monarchy in eastern Georgia, centered at the province of Kakheti, with its capital first at Gremi and then at Telavi. It emerged in the process of a tripartite division of the Kingdom of Georgia in 1465 and existed, with several brief intermissions, until 1762 when Kakheti and the neighboring Georgian kingdom of Kartli were merged through a dynastic succession under the Kakhetian branch of the Bagrationi dynasty. Through much of this period, the kingdom was a vassal of the successive dynasties of Iran, and to a much shorter period Ottoman Empire, but enjoyed intermittent periods of greater independence, especially after 1747. Early history A previous Kingdom of Kakheti was created in the 8th century following the successful rebellion of the mountainous tribes of Tzanaria, which freed a large part of Georgia from Arab cont ...

Demetrius, Son Of Alexander I Of Georgia
Demetrius (''Dimitri''; ka, დიმიტრი) ( 1413 – 1453) was the second son of King Alexander I of Georgia by his first wife Dulandukht Orbeliani. He was co-king with his father from 1433 to 1442 and with his brother Vakhtang IV from 1442 to 1446. On Vakhtang's death, Demetrius became a ''de jure'' king of Georgia but his accession to the throne was precluded by his younger brother George VIII. Biography Demetrius first appears in the charter dated to 1413. Traditional Georgian historiography founded by Prince Vakhushti in the 18th century erroneously makes him a younger brother of George VIII and frequently omits him from the list of the kings of Georgia. Demetrius was co-opted by his father Alexander I in 1433. He was sent by him as ambassador to Shah Rukh, Timur's son. After Alexander I's renouncement of the throne in 1442 in favor of Vakhtang IV, Demetrius remained a co-king with the latter, whereas Alexander's third son, George VIII, was made a co-king appanage ...
