Abstract:
This paper aims to examine the political situation in which the major Armeno-Georgian elite families of the later 12th and early 13th centuries held and maintained positions of power under the broad hegemony of the Georgian Bagratid dynasty. It reassesses some aspects of recent historical research and provides context based upon a brief analysis of other rulers within the Bagratid hegemony, especially in the case of the polity of Shirvan. The paper argues on the basis of these assessments that we should see claims of royal status by Armeno-Georgian elites as being accepted within the wider political frameworks of the Bagratids, rather than being a potential problem or threat to that system.
