Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Vakhtangwas the Georgian Bagratid prince and the son of King David IV "the Builder" (r. 1089 1125), probably of his second marriage to the Kipchak "princess" Gurandukht, daughter of Otrok.The 12th-century document The Will of King David contains a vague and controversial passage whereby David instructs the eldest son and heir apparent Demetrius I to rear his younger brother Vakhtang and make him a successor to the throne if the latter proves to be "capable". Given the Georgian order of succession based on primogeniture and indication that an attempted coup against Demetrius in the 1130s involved Vakhtang , many modern scholars in Georgia consider the passage to be a latter-day forgery by Vakhtang''s sympathizers. A reference to the aristocratic plot against Demetrius on behalf of Vakhtang is found in the contemporaneous Armenian chronicle by Vardan although the author does not directly names the rebellious prince.
