Tsanars
Tsanareti ( ka, წანარეთი) (alternative spellings: Tsanaria, Canaria, Sanaria, Sanaryia) was a historic district (Khevi) in the early medieval Caucasus, lying chiefly in what is now the northeastern corner in Georgia’s region of Mtskheta-Mtianeti. History In the narrow sense of the term Tsanareti (reduced later simply to Khevi) was applied by the medieval Georgian annals to the area around the Darial Pass, inhabited by the Tsanars. This warlike tribe is already known as Sanars to Ptolemy. According to the 8th century Arab historian Masudi, the Tsanars, though Christians, claimed their origin from Nizar b. Maad b. Murad, and then from a branch of the Ukail family. Although this claim is completely rejected by modern scholars, the origins of the Tsanars are still uncertain today. The tribe is sometimes claimed to be an offshoot of Sarmatians. Vladimir Minorsky believes, however, that they were the Nakh-speakers. Whatever their origin, the Tsanars seem to have adopt ...

Theodosius II Of Abkhazia
Theodosius II ( ka, თეოდოს II) was King of the Abkhazia from circa 828 to 855. He was the son and successor of Leon II of the Anchabadze dynasty. Life Theodosius II supported his relative Ashot I of Iberia, ruler of Tao-Klarjeti, against Principality of Kakheti and its ally Arab emir of Tiflis, that invaded Inner Iberia (Shida Kartli), as a result Kakhetians were pushed from central Iberian lands to east of the Ksani River. In 837, Byzantine Emperor Theophilos sent ''patrikios'' Bardas together with the general Theophobos in a campaign against the Abkhazians, but the Byzantines were defeated...

Bagrationi Dynasty
The Bagrationi dynasty (; ) is a royal dynasty which reigned in Georgia from the Middle Ages until the early 19th century, being among the oldest extant Christian ruling dynasties in the world. In modern usage, the name of the dynasty is sometimes Hellenized and referred to as the Georgian Bagratids, also known in English as the Bagrations. The origins of the dynasty are disputed. The early Georgian Bagratids gained the Principality of Iberia through dynastic marriage after succeeding the Chosroid dynasty at the end of the 8th century. In 888 Adarnase IV of Iberia restored the Georgian monarchy; various native polities then united into the Kingdom of Georgia, which prospered from the 11th to the 13th century. This period of time, particularly the reigns of David IV the Builder (1089–1125) and of his great-granddaughter Tamar the Great (1184–1213) inaugurated the Georgian Golden Age in the history of Georgia.

Emirate Of Tbilisi
The Emirate of Tbilisi ( ka, თბილისის საამირო ', ar, إمارة تفليسي ') was a Muslim emirate in Transcaucasia. The Emirs of Tbilisi ruled over the parts of today's eastern Georgia from their base in the city of Tbilisi, from 736 to 1080 (nominally to 1122). Established by the Arabs during their invasions of Georgian lands, the emirate was an important outpost of the Muslim rule in the Caucasus until recaptured by the Georgians under King David IV in 1122. Since then, the city has served as the capital of Georgia. History The Arabs first appeared in Georgia, namely in Kartli (Iberia) in 645.

In that year, Marwan II took hold of Tbilisi and much of the neighbouring lands and installed there an Arab emir, who was to be confirmed by the Caliph or, occasionally, by the ''ostikan'' of '' Armīniya''.
