Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Samara was a chieftain and ruler of Mtskheta's Kartvelians claiming descent from a mythic national founder, Kartlos.[6]
  2. ^ King Rev I was a great-grandson of King Mithridates V of Parthia[7]
  3. ^ Her father died in 284 AD, who remained the last in the Pharnavazid line. Georgian royal house arranged the wedding of Abeshura to Mirian,[8] who according to the Georgian annals is identified as the firstborn but illegitimate son of an unspecified Sasanian Shahanshah.[9] Mirian was a Parthian Mihranid who would establish a Chosroid dynasty. Because of Mirian’s union with Abeshura, the couple's offspring could rightfully claim to have Pharnavazid blood, but Abeshura died at the age of 15. Because the young couple had no children the primary Pharnavazid line came to a complete end.[10][11]
  4. ^ a b Kings Aspacures II and Rev II through their mother Queen Nana[12][13] were the direct descendants of King Mithridates VI of Pontus (15 generations through Queen Dynamis); King Seleucus I Nicator (22 generations through the mother of Mithridates VI of Pontus, Queen Laodice VI); Triumvir Mark Antony (16 generations through Gepaepyris, Antonia Tryphaena, Pythodorida of Pontus and Antonia Prima); Julio-Claudian dynasty (17 generations through the mother of Mark Antony, Julia); King Achaemenes (35~40 generations through Mithridates VI of Pontus)
  5. ^ King Dachi through his mother Queen Balendukht[16][17] was the direct descendant of Shah Ardashir I (10 generations)
  6. ^ Adarnase IV restored Georgian kingship in 888[19] as the Kingdom of the Iberians and this would go on to dominate the political life of Georgia for a thousand years.[20]
  7. ^ a b 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;[21] now with purging his own cousins the line of Klarjeti was also gone and no rival could ever claim the Georgian throne.[22]
  8. ^ David III, being childless, took advice from the Georgian aristocracy and adopted his kin, prince Bagrat in 975.[23] This will lead and pave the way for the unification of Georgia.[24]
  9. ^ Bagrat III was the first king of a politically unified Georgia[25] designated "Sakartvelo".[26] The term "Sakartvelo" would literally mean "all-Georgian kingdom", "all Georgia" or "whole Georgia".[27] Sakartvelo is still used in modern times as the official name of the country.[28]
  10. ^ Queen Tamar was the first female monarch (mepe) of Georgia.[29]
  11. ^ George IV, while relaxing in Kakheti, in the village of Velistsikhe, he spotted a pretty young woman, a freeman's daughter; he seduced her, and, although she was married, installed her at royal court. In 1215, she had a son with him (the future king David VII), whom the king gave to his sister Rusudan to bring up. This upset the Georgian Orthodox Church and deputation of bishops, the Catholicos and ministers came to remonstrate with the king: the woman was a commoner as well as another man’s wife. The king was forced to let nuns escort his mistress back to her husband. But he adamantly deemed the woman from Velistsikhe his wife and refused any marriage which his court might negotiate for him. The king would not beget a legitimate heir.[30]
