George IX ( ka, გიორგი IX, tr) (died 1539) was a king (''mepe'') of the Georgian kingdom of Kartli from 1525 to 1527 (or 1534). Biography The second son of the Georgian king Constantine II and his wife, Queen Tamar, he succeeded on the abdication of his elder brother, David X, in 1525. The relations of the king with other members of the royal family were strained. That may have forced George to withdraw to a monastery under the name of Gerasime, leaving the throne to his energetic nephew, Luarsab I.

Georgios II Of Makuria
Georgios II (before 887–915/920?) was a ruler of the medieval Nubian kingdom of Makuria. He ascended the throne in 887, after the death of his father Georgios I, and ruled until 915 or 920, when he was succeeded by his son Zacharias II. Belonging to the Dynasty of Zacharias, little is known about his rule, although it is recorded that at some point between 910 and 915, his kingdom was involved in a war with the Abbasid Caliphate. Life and reign Georgios II lived during the Makurian golden age between the 9th and 11th centuries, when the kingdom reached the peak of its cultural development. He has previously been assumed to have been identical with Georgios I, but it is now clear that he was a king of his own. Georgios II was probably born after the early 860s. He was the grandson of Zacharias I, who, in 835, had founded a new Makurian dynasty, and the son of Georgios I, who had famously travelled to Baghdad in the same year. He also had a sister whose name has not been r ...

Georgios I Of Makuria
Georgios I (also George I; ) was a ruler of the Nubian state of Makuria (c. AD 860 – 920). The events about the king are preserved in the writings of Egyptian historians al-Maqrizi, al-Balawi and Ibn Taghribirdi. Their description of the events is not always conclusive and they provide contradictory information at several points, making it difficult for modern historian to reconstruct the events. Reign In his youth, his father Zacharias III appointed him co-regent and dispatched him on the long journey to Baghdad.Derek A. Welsby, ''The Medieval Kingdoms of Nubia'', British Museum Press, London 2002, pp. 74 For several years Egypt had been wracked by the Fourth Fitna and Zacharias had halted payments of the ''baqt.'' Once Ibrahim had gained control over Egypt he demanded the ''baqt'' be resumed and the payment of all arrears. In an attempt to reduce these demands, Georgios was sent to meet the Caliph. It is not certain if he traveled all the way to Baghdad or whether he simpl ...
