Mamia himself grew increasingly depressed after the uprising and died in 1826, leaving his son David to become the last titular Prince of Guria. Early life Mamia was the third child and only son of Simon II Gurieli, Prince-regn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
