The lists of early Iberian kings are principally based on early medieval Georgian annals and is blended with legend and fact.

Last King of Kartli and Kakheti

Annexation of kingdom of Imereti

Other Georgian Kingdom of Imereti was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1810.

Last King of Imereti

The various branches of the Bagrationi dynasty of Georgian kings survived in Georgia under Russian occupation. However, many members were forced to flee the country and live in exile after the Red Army took control of the short-lived Democratic Republic of Georgia in 1921 and installed the Georgian Communist Party. Since Georgia regained independence in 1990 the former royals have raisede their profile and in 2008 the two rival branches of the dynasty were united in marriage.[71]

Georgian royal family today

Georgia's monarchic tradition traces its origins to the Hellenistic[72] period, which has left an enduring legacy. Its dynasty's rule ended with the annexation of Georgian lands by the Russian Empire early in the 19th century, although several branches of the family survive. Restoration was considered by various royalist groups throughout the 20th century. Although Georgia’s post-Soviet politics have operated in the framework of a presidential republic since the nation regained its independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the debate on monarchy, particularly its constitutional form, has never completely ceased.

Constitutional monarchy and dynastic restoration debate

Debate of constitutional monarchy was revitalized by the political crisis in Georgia late in 2007. The October 7, 2007 sermon of Catholicos-Patriarch Ilia II, popular head of the Georgian Orthodox Church, gave new impetus to an old option. The patriarch, who has always sympathized with the idea of constitutional monarchy, said, during his Sunday service at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, that the restoration of the royal dynasty was a "desirable dream of the Georgian people". He also emphasized that if the Georgian people chose this model of governance, "a candidate to the crown should be selected among representatives of the royal dynasty, and he should be suitably raised to be King from childhood."[73][74][75]

Last Georgian King George XII of Georgia. Russia abolished Georgian Kingdom of Kartli and Kakheti by annexing it in 1801.[76] Georgian royal dynasty of Bagrationi were deported and forced to flee the kingdom. But the direct branch of Georgian royal family continues till this day and topic of restoring monarchy is highly discussed in Georgian society.

Although the Patriarch’s sympathies toward the monarchy were not new to the ears of regular parishioners, several opposition parties immediately seized on the opportunity to advance their slogan "Georgia without a President", a reference to the model of parliamentary rule advocated by the Georgian opposition. Many politicians expressed their support for a constitutional monarchy, with a transitional stage in the form of a parliamentary republic.[77]

There has been a broad welcome from the opposition to Illia II's call to consider establishing a constitutional monarchy. “We, most opposition parties, believe that we should have a parliamentary form of government and its perfect form is a constitutional monarchy,” MP Zviad Dzidziguri of the Conservative Party said on October 8. “I always supported a constitutional monarchy, as an appropriate form of government for Georgia,” Salome Zourabichvili, the leader of Georgia’s Way, told reporters. Labor Party leader Shalva Natelashvili said on October 8 that his party also supports the proposal. Konstantine Gamsakhurdia, the leader of the opposition Freedom Party, said the proposal was “extremely positive.” The New Rights Party, in a statement issued on October 8, said that Georgia should be a constitutional monarchy. A lawmaker from the ruling party, Vakhtang Balavadze, said the issue should only be considered after the restoration of the country’s territorial integrity.[78]

The authorities' response to the calls for a monarchy was restrained. Nino Burjanadze, a chairperson of the Parliament of Georgia, expressed skepticism about the idea and stated that Georgia will not be able to decide on such an important issue until its territorial integrity is restored, referring to the secessions in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. President Mikheil Saakashvili, having jokingly remarked on his remote Bagratid ancestry, said that "serious considerations are necessary of this issue so that we do not add new problems to the already existing ones."[73] Mr Saakashvili said: “My grandmother was also a Bagrationi. I say it for people, who want to restore the monarchy. It would be even better because we would avoid the need for elections and would decide everything based on family traditions,” Saakashvili told Georgian reporters in Finland on October 12.[79] “Of course, I am joking,” he quickly added, saying it was unfortunate that he had to stress that because “the opposition lacks a sense of humor.” Giga Bokeria, an influential member of the parliament from Saakashvili’s United National Movement, tried to soft-pedal the Patriarch’s statement: "The patriarch didn’t suggest establishing monarchy today. He meant this may happen after Georgia resolves its fundamental problems."[74] He later alleged that the opposition’s call for a constitutional monarchy was merely a populist move: "they speak about constitutional monarchy here and do not say anything about it abroad. This is their double-standard policy."[80] Ilia II himself has avoided further comment on the topic.[74]

Meanwhile, the opposition New Rights party, which stood aside from the anti-government demonstrations staged by a coalition of ten opposition parties in October and November 2007, became the only major political group to add a more nuanced view on the establishment of a constitutional monarchy to their agenda. They issued a special declaration supporting the idea and proposing to hold a referendum on the issue, a suggestion which was also included in the pre-election campaign of David Gamkrelidze,[81] a candidate from the New Rights/Industrialists bloc for the early presidential elections held on January 5, 2008.[73][74]

A monarchy option has always caused an ambiguous resonance in Georgia. On the one hand, the monarchy is considered a symbol of Georgian unity and independence, and on the other hand it belongs to a remote past, with a significant gap of more than 200 years in monarchic tradition. Thus, according to one survey conducted back in 1998, only 16.3% of 828 respondents believed that a monarchy would be a good or very good form of government for Georgia when asked how suitable they think various types of government were or would be for Georgia.[82]

The supporters of constitutional monarchy continue to argue that this form of state would best protect the interests of citizens of Georgia; a monarch "would reign not rule", and act as a safeguard of stability and national unity.[74] They see the return to monarchy as a "historical justice", referring to the fact that the native royal dynasty has never been rejected or overthrown by the Georgian people, but was dispossessed by a foreign power (i.e., Russia).[73][83]

Mukhrani branch of the Bagrationi

Jorge de Bagration,[84][85][86][87][88][89] father of David Bagration of Mukhrani.

In 1942 Prince Irakli Bagrationi-Mukhraneli, of the genealogically senior branch of the dynasty, proclaimed himself Head of the Royal House of Georgia,[90] in the absence of evidence that Bagrationis of the Kakhetian branch (which had reigned until 1801) still survived in the Soviet Union. He founded the Union of Georgian Traditionalists in exile. His second wife, Maria Antonietta Pasquini, daughter of Ugo, Count di Costafiorita, bore him a son and heir, but died in childbirth in February 1944. In August 1946 the widower married Princess María Mercedes de Baviera y Borbón, a granddaughter of King Alfonso XII, and daughter of Don Fernando de Baviera y Borbón, who had renounced his royal rights in Bavaria to become a naturalised infante in Spain.

Beginning in the 1990s, senior members of the Bagrationi-Mukhrani descendants began re-patriating to Georgia from Spain, ending generations of exile. Irakli's elder son, Prince Georgi Bagrationi-Mukhraneli, was officially recognized by government and church leaders when he brought his father's remains from Spain to rest with those of his ancestors in Svetitskhoveli Cathedral at Mtskheta in 1995, and took up residence in Tbilisi in 2005, where he died.[91] His eldest son, Prince Irakli (Heraclius, born 1972), moved to Georgia in 1999 and, although previously embraced as a future pretender[92] to the throne by some Georgian monarchists, has moved back to Spain and deferred his own dynastic claim, since the death of his father in 2008, to that of his younger brother, Prince Davit (born 1976).[90] Davit took up residence in Tbilisi, obtained Georgian citizenship, claimed the Mukhraneli dynastic titles, and became Head of the Family Council.[90] The Bagration Mukhraneli is the senior surviving legitimate branch of the Bagration patrilineage,[93] descending directly from King Constantine II of Georgia. Nonetheless, mitigating the claim of Prince David Bagrationi-Mukhraneli to the Georgian throne is the fact that the Mukhraneli branch has not reigned as kings in Georgia since the 18th century,[91]

Imereti branch of the Bagrationi

The current Head of the House of Imereti is Her Serene Highness Princess Nino Bagrationi[99] (born 1915, married Prince Avtandil Japaridze 1944,[100] deceased in 2009). Princess Nino is the only daughter of Prince David Bagrationi of Imereti (1894–1937) the last surviving heir male of Alexander V of Imereti and last legitimate pretender to the princely line. Princess Nino is currently the President of the Bagrationi Society. During the debate on the restoration of the unified Georgian Monarchy she was reported to favour the claims of Prince Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky,[101] however, her views since the dynastic marriage between the rival Gruzinsky and Mukhrani branches of the Bagrationi Dynasty are not known.

Gruzinsky branch of the Bagrationi

Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky,[102][103] father of Anna Bagrationi.

Prince Nugzar Petrovich Bagration-Gruzinski (born 1950) is the most senior, known patrilineal descendant of Georgia's last king, George XII and is, as such, head of the Kakhetian branch of the dynasty which, although genealogically junior to the Mukhranelis, has reigned more recently, not having lost the throne of Georgia until 1800.[93][104] Nugzar is well known in Georgia because he has lived his entire life in Tbilisi, and experienced with other Georgians both the country's subordination to the Soviet regime and its liberation since 1991. He is a theatrical and cinema director, and his father, Prince Petre Bagration-Gruzinski (1920–1984), was a poet, and authored lyrics to the anthem, "Song of Tiflis".[104]

Prince Nugzar's daughter, Princess Anna, a divorced teacher and journalist with two daughters, married Prince David Bagrationi-Mukhraneli, on 8 February 2009 at the Tbilisi Sameba Cathedral.[111][112][113][114][115][116][117][118] The marriage united the Gruzinsky and Mukhrani branches of the Georgian royal family, and drew a crowd of 3,000 spectators, officials, and foreign diplomats, as well as extensive coverage by the Georgian media.[119]

The dynastic significance of the wedding lay in the fact that, amidst the turmoil in political partisanship that has roiled Georgia since its independence in 1991, Patriarch Ilia II of Georgia publicly called for restoration of the monarchy as a path toward national unity in October 2007.[120] Although this led some politicians and parties to entertain the notion of a Georgian constitutional monarchy, competition arose among the old dynasty's princes and supporters, as historians and jurists debated which Bagrationi has the strongest hereditary right to a throne that has been vacant for two centuries. Although some Georgian monarchists support the Gruzinsky branch's claim, others support that of the re-patriated Mukhrani branch.[120] Both branches descend from the medieval kings of Georgia down to Constantine II of Georgia who died in 1505,[93] and continue in unbroken, legitimate male line into the 21st century.

Whereas the Bagration-Mukhrani were a cadet branch of the former Royal House of Kartli, they became the genealogically seniormost line of the Bagrationi family in the early 20th century: yet this elder branch had lost the rule of Kartli by 1724,[93] retaining that of the Principality of Mukhrani until its annexation by Russia along with Kartli-Kakheti in 1800.

Meanwhile, the Bagration-Gruzinsky line, although junior to the Princes of Mukhrani genealogically, reigned over the kingdom of Kakheti, re-united the two realms in the kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti in 1762, and did not lose sovereignty until Russian annexation in 1800.[121]

The bridegroom is the only member of his branch who retains Georgian citizenship and residence since the death of his father, Prince George Bagrationi-Mukhraneli in 2008. Aside from his unmarried elder brother, Prince Davit is the heir male of the Bagrationi family, while the bride's father is the most senior descendant of the last Bagrationi to reign over the united kingdom of Georgia. Since Nugzar and Princes Peter and Eugene Bagrationi-Gruzinsky are the last patrilineal males descended from King George XII, and all three were born before 1950, their branch verges on extinction. But the marriage between Nugzar Gruzinsky's heiress and the Mukhrani heir resolves their rivalry for the claim to the throne, which has recently divided Georgian monarchists.

Prince David and Princess Anna became the parents of a baby boy on September 27, 2011, Prince Giorgi Bagration Bagrationi (გიორგი ბაგრატიონ ბაგრატიონი)[129][130][131][132][133][134][135] who, in his person, potentially unites the Mukhrani and Gruzinsky claims. If no other Bagrationi prince is born in either the Gruzinsky or Mukhrani branch who is of senior descent by primogeniture, and he survives those now living, Prince Giorgi will become the heir male of the House of Bagrationi and the heir general of George XIII of Georgia[136][137][138][139][140][141][142]

Prince Giorgi Bagration Bagrationi was born weighing three kilograms and 700 grams at 22:40 p.m. on September 27, 2011, in Madrid, Kingdom of Spain.[143]
