Vakhtang (son of David IV of Georgia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vakhtang (Georgian: ვახტანგი) or Tsuata (Georgian: ცუატა) (c. 1118 – 1138) was a Georgian royal prince (batonishvili) of the Bagrationi dynasty. He was the son of King David IV the Builder and the Cuman-Kipchak princess Gurandukht, daughter of Khan Otrok. Vakhtang was involved in an attempted coup against Demetrius I of Georgia, his half-brother and heir apparent. Vakhtang was captured, blinded and cast in prison where he apparently died shortly afterwards.
