      He’s also one of the real life historical figures mentioned in “War and Peace” and in his case he was also included as a secondary character. He died of wounds he sustained during the Battle of Borodino, which is covered substantially in the novel. (The battle was a Pyrrhic victory for the French, as the battle had weakened both sides so much that the Russians allowed the French to take Moscow. The Russians then set much of the city aflame to keep Napoleon’s army from plundering the city for supplies. With a lack of food and other supplies for the French deep in enemy territory, Napoleon left Moscow only a month after capturing it and it began a long French retreat that was exasperated by the harsh winter weather in the region, for which the French army was ill-prepared.)

    Ancient Georgia then known as Colchis to the Greeks is where Jason went to find the Golden Fleece which was protected by a huge dragon and he fell in love with the sorceress/princess Medea. The "golden fleece" thing is quite interesting as even nowadays in Georgia prospectors use a sheep skin to pan for alluvial gold in the rivers and the fleece becomes "golden" because of the small particles of gold trapped in it.

    Despite King Heraclius II of Georgia's efforts to maintain his country's commitments and not break any agreements, the Russian Kingdom did not provide the expected support during his conflict with the Ottomans. Instead, Russia stood by as Heraclius II and the Georgian army faced the Ottoman forces alone. This situation underscores the complex and often fraught relationship between Georgia and Russia, which has been characterized by a series of conflicts and political maneuverings over the years.

    Byzantines didn't really put Ashot I as the king, for around 150 years Georgia had dynastic wars going on and the Bagrationi dynasty came out victorious, the only involvement from the Byzantines was some support of different candidates and the title of "Curopalates" that they gave out, during this time there was no King of Georgia, but there were Georgian Kings, that's how we call the period between 500s to 700s
    To explain as shortly as possible, between 300 BC and 600s Georgia was divided into 2 kingdoms, the Kingdom of Colchis (Later Lazica) in the West and the Kingdom of Iberia in the East and South, there were a few Georgian dynasties that ruled these regions and they had very close relations, every time any outsider was attacking both Colchis and Iberia would unite, after around late 400s to early 500s Chosroid dynasty of Iberia got split and so did the Kingdom of Iberia's territory as Iberia itself in East Georgia, and Tao-Klarjeti region in the South. After that, Georgia was always divided into these 3 parts with significant nobilities ruling these regions, even during the Kingdom of Georgia. At the end of the 500s the ruler of Tao-Klarjeti and younger brother to the ruler of Iberia Guaram I was the man who is considered in Georgia as the founding father of the Bagrationi dynasty, he started the "game of thrones" and the battle between royal dynasties and just noble dynasties, both Anchabadze and Bagrationi dynasties were born from these dynastic wars. The Chosroid dynasty died in the process of these dynastic wars, but it transformed into the Bagrationi dynasty, and after that, the video explains everything correctly.
    I just explain this because of one particular reason, some propaganda machine from one of today's empires that wants to tear Georgia apart tries to make it seem that Anchabadze weren't Georgians, they were influenced by the Byzantines way more than the Iberians, but they were Georgians, every proof that there exists including manuscripts, including churches and writings on them all are in Georgian, and from every century, from the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, especially from the 10th to the 12th centuries as during the "Golden Age" churches were built everywhere. This is important to mention for certain reasons.
    Also, Hearclius didn't leave any battles, Russia abandoned their own plans, it was the Russians that broke the Treaty of Georgievsk and multiple times, I don't know where did you get that info from, I have read Catherine's letter to her general in Georgia from Russian archives, how they decide to break the agreement, where did you get info that Heraclius broke it? That's a huge false information.

    Probably the best known modern-day member of the Georgian royal family was Prince Guéorgui Vassilievitch Matchabelli (1885-1935). A native of Tiflis, in 1921, he and his Italian-born wife settled in the United States. In 1926, they established the Prince Matchabelli Perfume Company. The prince, an amateur chemist, blended the company's perfumes. Among its best known brands was Wind Song (later heavily advertised on television). Other favorites were Ave Maria and Princess Norina. All the perfumes came in crown-shaped bottles.

I'm sure Machabeli was aware that calling himself a prince enhanced his status and the status of his business, giving his perfumes the added aura of glamour and sophistication.

      I remember the Syuni dynasti still living in USA. But that will literally make their family the oldest in the world, so i don't know about that. Another major one are Mamikonyan, bit it is also not clear.

    I kid you not, this is *the* video I was expecting the most to see on this channel. The House of Bagrationi has as much potential as any other European royal dynasty.
    I think it could have been covered in more detail. Also the union of the two main branches despite their (ongoing) rivalry, and the fact that the Georgian monarchy is one of the closest to being restored. If prince Giorgi is raised right and his parents are wise enough in dealing with the succession issue, we may see a towering figure of Georgian history later this century.

      @TillEulenspiegel. 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The idea of a constitutional monarchy in Georgia is absolutely not popular and causes nothing but ridicule and irritation. This is mainly due to the fact that the Bagrationi, having failed to save the independence of the country, then became officials of the Russian Empire. So this project is nothing more than a backward whim of the Orthodox Church.
      As for David and Anna, they were practically forced to get married and have a child. And the reason was only the whim of the Orthodox Church. Then they divorced. The child is brought up in the church in an extremely backward and pro-Russian environment in all respects. Parents don't decide anything. You can guess how inadequate he will grow up. This is just crazy in the 21st century.

    I guess it should be stated the definition of Dynasty at the beginning of the video. If we mean an unbroken line of succession in which each new element is linked to the previous by being their relative, 814 is not old enough to make it "the oldest Christian Dynasty". Robertians->Capetingians->Bourbons have an unbroken and documented line of father-son links which started before 800.

    • @UsefulCharts
      @UsefulCharts  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      A royal dynasty starts with the first person in a noble house to become a king and continues so long as there is at least one male-only line descendant that is still living. Even if we go with the first Robertian instead of the first Capetian, we'd have to start with Odo, who became King of France in 888.
