Notes

1. ^
   Adarnase IV restored Georgian kingship as the Kingdom of the Iberians and this would go on to dominate the political life of Georgia for a thousand years.[2]
2. ^
   Bagrat III was the first king of a politically unified Georgia[3] designated "Sakartvelo".[4] The term "Sakartvelo" would literally mean "all-Georgian kingdom", "all Georgia" or "whole Georgia".[5] Sakartvelo is still used in modern times as the official name of the country.[6]
3. ^
   Queen Tamar was the first female monarch (mepe) of Georgia.[7]
4. ^
   George IV, Had a Georgian mistress from an Aznauri family, rather than an official foreign wife, later they unofficially Eloped and he installed her at the royal court. In 1215 she bore him a son (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 and the marriage was unrecognized. The king was forced to let nuns escort his mistress back to her Village. 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.[8]
