Princess Bagrationi of Kiev
Georgian princess From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Princess Bagrationi was a 12th–13th century princess from Abkhazia, who was briefly grand princess consort of Kiev for a few months in 1154 by marriage to Iziaslav II of Kiev.[2][3][4]
Biography
The princess is primarily known from an entry in the Kievan Chronicle under the year of 1154, in which she married the grand prince of Kiev:[1]
In the year 1154, Izjaslav again sent his son Mstislav to meet his stepmother, for he was taking a wife, a daughter of the (Greek) tsar, for himself from Obez; and he (Mstislav) met her at the waterfalls and brought her to Kiev (to Izjaslav), and he himself went to Perejaslavl'. Izjaslav took her to him as his wife and had a wedding.
"Obez" means Abkhazia.[1] Based on this fact, it has been conjectured that she was a Georgian princess of the royal Bagrationi dynasty.[citation needed] She would have been a daughter of King Demetrius I of Georgia, sister of the kings David V and George III and Princess Rusudan.[citation needed] She was a paternal aunt of the famous Queen Tamar of Georgia.[citation needed] Her first name is unknown, and nothing is known about her later life either.[citation needed]
