Divan Of The Abkhazian Kings
The ''Divan of the Abkhazian Kings'' ( ka, აფხაზთა მეფეთა დივანი, tr, which is often translated as the ''Chronicles of the Abkhazian Kings'') is a short medieval document composed in Georgian in the late 10th or early 11th century. It has come down to us as a 15th-century copy. The text was first studied and published by the Georgian scholar Ekvtime Takaishvili. It has also been translated into English and Russian. It is usually attributed to the first king of all-Georgia, Bagrat III, who began his reign as the Abkhazian king in 978. Somewhat of a manifesto, this document may have been issued by Bagrat, a representative of the new dynasty of the Bagrationi, in support of his rights to the Abkhazian throne. The ''Divan'' lists 22 successive rulers from Anos to Bagrat, and styles each of them as “king” (Georgian: ''mepe'') (though until the mid-780s they functioned as the archons under the Byzantine authority). The text does provide the i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
George I Of Abkhazia
George I ( ka, გიორგი I, აღწეფელი) was King of the Abkhazian from circa 864 to 871. He was the third son of Leon II of the Anchabadze dynasty. He succeeded his brother Demetrius II. His nickname "Aghts’epeli" ( ka, აღწეფელი) is linked to his former domain of Aghtseph. Life The ''Divan of the Abkhazian Kings'' designates him as the brother of his predecessor but does not indicate the duration of his reign. According to the ''Georgian Chronicles'' he is indeed the brother of Theodosius and Demetrius, and son of Leon. George I took control of Kartli and granted it to Tinen, a son of his brother Demetrius II, whose second son Bagrat was reportedly exiled to Byzantine Empire for an unknown reason. On the death of Georges I, his wife, whose name is not specified, seduced by a nobleman, the John Shavliani, put on death Tinen and attempted to kill Bagrat to give the throne of Abkhazia to her lover.

Adarnase Of Abkhazia
Adarnase Shavliani ( ka, ადარნასე შავლიანი) was the King of Abkhazia between 880 and 887. He succeeded his father, the usurper John Shavliani, to the throne but was deposed and put to death by Bagrat I, the son of Demetrius II.

''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses may have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room.
