                              Грузинское Царство в  Golden Century: TW

Что мы знаем о средневековой Грузии ?
  
Тама́ра (около 1165—1213) — знаменитая грузинская царица (1184—1213), с именем которой связан один из лучших периодов в истории Грузии.

Она происходила из династии Багратидов и была дочерью Георгия III и царицы Бурдухан. Воспитала её высокообразованная тетка Русудан. Современные царице поэты восхваляли её ум и красоту. Её называли не царицей, а царём, сосудом мудрости, солнцем улыбающимся, тростником стройным, лицом лучезарной, прославляли её кротость, трудолюбие, послушание, религиозность, чарующую красоту. О её совершенствах ходили легенды, дошедшие в устной передаче до наших времён. Её руки искали византийские царевичи, султан алеппский, шах персидский. Всё царствование Тамары окружено поэтическим ореолом.

                                    Внешняя политика.
Тамара была признана царицей от Понта до Гургана (Каспия) и от Спер (линия от Трапезунда к Карсу) до Дербента, Хазаретии и Скифии. Девизом своего правления она провозгласила милость и правду: «Я отец сирых и судья вдов», — говорила Тамара. В её царствование не было ни одного случая смертной казни и телесного наказания. Избегая осложнений внутри царства, царица вела ряд войн с соседними государствами. Первый её супруг, русский князь Георгий (по мнению Карамзина — сын Андрея Боголюбского), совершил военные экспедиции на север Армении, в Ширван и Эрзерум. Когда брак Тамары с Георгием был расторгнут — по словам грузинского летописца, вследствие творившихся князем бесчинств, — то бывший супруг Тамары стал её врагом и с большим греческим войском двинулся из Константинополя в Грузию для возвращения потерянного престола. Несмотря на то, что к нему примкнули некоторые областные правители, русский князь был разбит и исчез после того без вести. Через 10 лет после вступления на престол Тамара вступает в новый брак — с другом детства, осетинским владетелем Давидом Сослани, — и открывает наступательную политику. Она завоёвывает Хорасан, Тавриз, Эрзерум, одерживает блестящую победу над султаном ардебильским. Битва при Шамхорате (1203 г.) приносит ей громкую славу, отголоски которой слышатся в русском сказании об иверской царице Динаре. Победоносное её шествие завершается поражением (1204) Нукардина, султана алеппского.

                                 Внутренняя политика.
Обеспечив Грузии политическое господство во всей Малой Азии, смирив внутренних и внешних врагов, расширив пределы царства, Тамара позаботилась и о духовном развитии Грузии. При её дворе собирается плеяда славных писателей, доведших грузинский язык до полного совершенства. Её правление ознаменовано поэтической деятельностью Шавтели и Чахруха, посвятивших «богоподобной царице» восторженные оды. При ней создаётся светская романическая словесность в прозе, представителями которой являются Хонили, автор «Амиран Дареджаниани», и Саргис Тмогвели, переводчик персидской повести о Висе и Рамине. Наконец, в её царствование выдвинулся певец Барсовой кожи Шота Руставели. Легендарная история, приписывающая Тамаре все замечательные храмы и крепости Грузии, недалека от истины: множество памятников искусства создано именно ею. Среди них — роскошный Вардзийский дворец, вырытый в обрывистой скале близ Ахалцихе, вмещающий в себе до 360 покоев. Христианство и гражданственность среди кавказских горцев распространялись благодаря энергии и заботам Тамары. Её имя с одинаковым благоговением передаётся в поэтических сказаниях различных народностей Кавказа.

Грузинская церковь причислила её к святым. Грузины-горцы считают Тамару богиней-целительницей всех недугов. В Сванетии Тамара из воинственной жены стала предметом религиозного почитания и вместе с тем идеалом волшебной красоты.

Народ верит, что Тамара не умерла, а спит на золотом ложе; когда дойдёт до неё голос людской скорби, она проснется и воцарится вновь. Это поверье поддерживается отсутствием точных указаний о местонахождении её могилы.

                  Общий, краткий обзор Грузинского государства в средние века.

Начало VI века — Тбилиси становится столицей Картли.

VI — X века — территория Грузии становится ареной борьбы между Ираном, Византией, арабами, которые попеременно устанавливают над нею своё господство.

Конец IX — начало X века — Совместная борьба грузин, албанов и армян положила конец господству арабов, а затем — и Византии. Возникают крупные феодальные государства —- Абхазское царство (вся Западная Грузия), Тао-Кларджети (юг), Кахети и Эрети (восток), Картли (центр), борьба между которыми завершается в X — XI веках объединением грузинских земель в единое феодальное государство во главе с царём Багратом III из династии Багратиони.

XI — XII века — период наибольшего политического могущества и расцвета экономики и культуры феодальной Грузии. Царь Давид IV Строитель (1089—1125) успешно отражает нашествие турок-сельджуков, освобождает значительную часть Закавказья — Ширван и Северную Армению — и включает их в состав грузинского государства. В царствование Георгия III (1156—1184) и правнучки Давида Строителя Тамары (1184—1213) влияние Грузии распространяется на Северный Кавказ и Восточное Закавказье, Иранский Азарбайджан, Армению и Юго-Западное Причерноморье (Трапезундское царство). Грузия была одним из сильнейших государств на Ближнем Востоке. В XII веке были установлены культурно-экономические и политические отношения с православной Киевской Русью; в украшении мозаикой главной церкви Киево-Печерской лавры участвовали живописцы из Грузии, между русскими и грузинскими княжескими родами стали заключаться брачные союзы (в 1185 сын владимиро-суздальского князя Андрея Боголюбского — Юрий и грузинская царица Тамара вступили в брак). Политическое могущество страны основывалось на высокоразвитом сельском хозяйстве и процветавшем городском хозяйстве (ремёсла, торговля). Высокого уровня достигла феодальная культура — философия, историография, филология, литература, искусство, чеканка по металлу, зодчество и монументальная живопись, миниатюра, керамика. К этой эпохе относится создание бессмертного творения Шота Руставели — «Витязь в тигровой шкуре». Грузинские культурно-просветительские центры существовали при монастырях как в самой Грузии, так и за её пределами — на Афоне (в Греции), в Сирии, Палестине, Болгарии.

2-я четверть XIII века — монголо-татарское нашествие наносит огромный ущерб политическому единству и хозяйству Грузии.

прекрасная инфа, только две маленьких замечании: 1. Шамхорская бытва - 1195 г, 2. вместо фамилии "чахруха", должен бить "Чахрухадзе".... да и ешё, Багратиони (фамилия Тамари) а не "Багратид" , остальное всё прекрасно.

у меня есть польний список , вся информация о Грузии (12-13 в.) для форума ТВЦ (на англииском), переведу на Русском и выложу здесь. даже рисунки есть юнитов.

и так, начнём потихонку:

Отличная символика ! Нам как раз ее нужно побольше, что бы хватило на знамена, если есть еще по 13 веку - будем благодарны. А рисунки юнитов, это как раз то, что нам просто  необходимо

когда выложу польный список юнитов, тогда будет и линк на рисунки. а это символика Грузинских провинции, можно использовать на банерах разных юнитов:



а сколько регионов можно дать Грузии ? по моему миниум 3 надо...

[Barbarossa]

а сколько регионов можно дать Грузии ? по моему миниум 3 надо...

Камрад, по нашей карте выходит вот что : Тбилиси, Кутатиси, Дарубант (Дербент), Цхуми, Ани, Трапезунд, далее...Эрзерум и у озера Ван г. Хлат. Изначально мы планируем дать Грузии - Кутатиси, но не большое войско (6-8 отр.) будет на подходе к Тбилиси (ребелс). Так что в расширении границ Грузинского Царства, на начальном этапе, я думаю проблем особых не будет. Если только усиленные гарнизоны ребелс...

Kartveli
Начало 1189 год по 1314-ый. Прекрасно, значит между Тбилиси и Кутатиси будет пол-стека с заданием взять г. Кутатиси. Но возиожно мы изначально дадим Грузии 2 региона, выше перечисленные.

[Kartveli]

значит я укажу в инфе два региона - Тбилиси и Кутатиси.

а можно я опубликую инфу на Англииском, а потом потехонку переведём на Русском ?

P.S. at 1189 AD in reality Georgia was ruled by great queen – Tamar Bagrationi (1184-1213), her husband was David Bagrationi – ”Soslan” (another branch of Bagrationi royal dynasty)

]]>http://en.wikipedia....i/David_Soslani]]>



Mephet Mephe (King of Kings) –
David Bagrationi (reigned 1189-1207) – 38 year old

Dedophali (Queen) – wife, Tamar (Georgian: თამარი; 1160 – 1213, reigned in 1184-1213), – 29 year old

Mephe (prince, future King) – at 1189 AD still was not born, in future (in 1192 AD) was born Giorgi Bagrationi, future King of Georgia (reigned in 1213-1222)



Short description of Sakartvelos Samepho (kingdom of Georgia) and political situation at 1080 AD.:

In 1001 Georgian king Bagrat III Bagrationi united all Georgian principalities - principality of Kakheti, Abkhazian reign, principality Tao-Klardzheti and principality of Kartli into the united reign and in the Caucasus was formed new dominant power, the strong, centralized feudal state - Kingdom of Georgia (Sakartvelos Samepho). Georgian one of most is ancient of the modern peoples of world, having its statehood from the time of Kingdom of Colchis (from XII-VIII BC). In 319 ad to year Georgian became Christianity as state religion. Georgian alphabet one of 14 original alphabet in the world, created in V-III BC.

Georgian Apostolic Ortodoxal Church, based by apostles Andrey and by Simeon of Cana, became autocephaly in V century. Besides Georgia, great Georgian religion centers were based in Jerusalem, in Greece, in Cyprus, in Sinaye, in Egypt, in Syria and Palestine.

Most might, power and developments feudal Georgian reign reached in XI-XIII century, under the rule of the royal dinasty of Bagrations, from whom Georgia guided such famous to entire world monarchs, as David IV "the Builder"(r.1089-1125) and quin Tamara the Great (r. 1184-1213).
The might of Georgian Kingdom founded on the great military traditions, developed feodal economic infrastructure of the country into that epoch and certainly wise of the administration of the kings of dynasty Bagrations.

The reign of Queen Tamar represented the peak of Georgia’s might in the whole history of the nation. In 1194-1204 Tamar’s armies crushed new Turkish invasions from the south-east and south and launched several successful campaigns into Turkish-controlled Southern Armenia. As a result, most of Southern Armenia, including the cities of Karin, Erzinjan, Khelat, Mush and Van, came under Georgian control. Although it was not included in the lands of the Georgian Crown, and was left under the nominal rule of local Turkish Emirs and Sultans, Southern Armenia became a protectorate of the Kingdom of Georgia.

The temporary fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1204 to the Crusaders left Georgia as the strongest Christian state in the whole East Mediterranean area. The same year Queen Tamar sent her troops to take over the former Byzantine Lazona and Paryadria with the cities of Atina, Riza, Trebizond, Querasunt, Amysos, Kotyora, Heraclea and Sinopa. In 1205, the occupied territory was transformed into the Empire of Trebizond and Tamar's relative Prince Alexios Komnenos was crowned as Emperor. The Empire of Trebizond was heavily dependent on Georgia for more than two hundred years. In 1210 Georgian armies invaded northern Persia (modern day Iranian Azerbaijan) and took the cities of Marand, Tabriz, Ardabil, Zanjan and Qazvin, placing part of the conquered territory under a Georgian protectorate. This was the maximum territorial extent of Georgia throughout her history. Queen Tamar was addressed as “The Queen of Abkhazians, Kartvels, Rans, Kakhs and Armenians, Shirvan-Shakhine and Shakh-in-Shakhine, The Sovereign of the East and West”. Georgian historians often refer to her as “Queen Tamar the Great”.
The period between the early 12th and the early 13th centuries, and especially the era of Tamar the Great, can truly be considered as the golden age of Georgia. Besides the political and military achievements, it was marked by the development of Georgian culture, including architecture, literature, philosophy and sciences.

HISTORICAL CHARACTERS of GEORGIA


Ioane Petritsi

]]>http://www.georgianb...anepetritsi.htm]]>

Georgian medieval philosopher and scholar in the XI-XII century, has based scientific academy in Gelati's monastery. During the reign of King David IV Aghmashenebeli, Ioane Petritsi worked at the Gelati Academy, where he left an important legacy of translations and original works. He was instrumental in spreading the ideas of neo-platonism and humanism in Georgia that influenced subsequent development of Georgian philosophy and theology. He tried to prove the existence of God on the basis of Aristotelian logic and Proclus’ emanation theory. He argued that Platonic philosophy could reach a true understanding of God and strived to become the Aristotle of Christian theology. His translation of Nemesius of Emesa’ On the Nature of Man introduced Christian anthropology into Georgian philosophical thought.

Shalva of Akhaltsikhe -[/B]

]]>http://www.georgianb...os/s/shalva.htm]]>

Georgian military commander and court official. Lord Shalva belonged to the Akhaltsikeli branch of the powerful Toreli family and owned large estates in Akhalkalaki and other regions of Javakheti. Lord Shalva served as the mechurchletukhutsesi (treasurer) and later mandartukhutsesi (grand chamberlain) at the court of Queen Tamar and King Giorgi IV Lasha. He distinguished himself at the battle of Shamkhor in 1195, where he seized the enemy royal flag and delivered it to Queen Tamar. In the 1200s, Shalva, and Sargis Tmogveli, commanded the Georgian troops during the victorious campaign against Kars. In 1203, he and his brother Ivane led the Georgian advance guard at the battle of Basian. In 1210, he successfully campaigned throughout southern Georgia and Armenia. However, he also clashed with the influential Mkhargrdzeli family and their feud played an important role in 1225. During the Khwarazmean invasion of Jalāl al-Dīn in that year, Shalva Akhaltsikheli led the Georgian advance guard and engaged the enemy at Garhni. Despite repeated pleas from Akhaltsikheli, Ivane Mkhargrdzeli, the commander-in-chief of the Georgian forces deployed on the nearby heights, refused to commit his forces in support of his rival lords and watched as the Khwarazmean troops slaughtered them. Shalva survived the battle but was captured and delivered to Jalāl al-Dīn. He refused to convert to Islam and secretly informed the Georgian forces of the enemy numbers and movements, for which he was executed in late 1225.


]]>http://en.wikipedia...._of_Akhaltsikhe]]>

Shalva of Akhaltsikhe, St (Georgian: შალვა ახალციხელი, Shalva Akhaltsikheli) (died 1227; commemoration day on June 17/June 30 (O.S.)) was a Georgian general executed by the Khwarezmian invaders for having refused to serve them and to denounce Christianity.

He was a member of influential noble family having Akhaltsikhe in hereditary possession. Under Tamar of Georgia, he held top posts of Lord High Treasurer and Lord High Mandator consecutively. He was titled as Grand Duke (eristavteristavi) and served as a governor general in the southern province of Javakheti.

Shalva distinguished himself particularly in the Battle of Shamkor against the Seljuk atabek of Azerbaijan, 1195, when he fought in vanguard and captured a war banner of the Caliph. In 1206/1207, he together with Sargis of Tmogvi commanded a Georgian army that took Kars from the Seljuk Turks. At the Battle of Basian (1203) Shalva and his brother Iwane were put in command of Meskhetian vanguard and played a decisive role in the Georgian victory. The brothers commanded a Georgian vanguard again in the Battle of Garni against the Khwarezmians, 1225. The battle was lost however. Iwane fell on the battlefield and Shalva, grievously wounded, was captured. Shah Mingburnu offered him a position in his army provided he would convert into Islam. Shalva refused however and was martyred in June 1227.

The architect Arsukidze-

]]>http://www.georgianb.../arsukisdze.htm]]>

]]>http://en.wikipedia....oveli_Cathedral]]>



Architect of the Svetiskhoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta. In 1010, King Bagrat III commissioned the architect Arsukidze to build a magnificent cathedral and its construction was continued by his son Giorgi I. While constructing the new Svetitskhoveli Cathedral between 1010–1029, Arsukisdze proved himself an innovative engineer, changing the old basilica into the domed temple and erecting the largest ecclesiastical building in Georgia. Tradition claims that Arsukisdze surpassed all other architects in mastery of his craft, and his rivals conspired to have his hand chopped off. The central arch of the northern facade has a relief of a hand holding a bevel square with the inscription underneath “The hand of the servant of God Arsukisdze, pray for him.”

His epithets Mt'ats'mindeli and At'oneli, meaning "of the Holy Mountain" (Hagiorite) and "of Athos" (Athonite) respectively, are a reference to his association with the Iviron monastery on Mount Athos, where he served as hegumen.

Tornike Eristavi

]]>http://www.georgianb...s/t/tornike.htm]]>

]]>http://en.wikipedia....ornike_Eristavi]]>

Prominent Georgian statesman and military commander, also known as Ioannis Tornikios or John Thornikios or John Tornik. He came from a family in the immediate circles of the Bagration rulers, and his father, Chordvaneli (referred to in Byzantine sources as the patrikios 'Zourbaneles') had been a member of the suite of the curapaltes Ashot when he visited the Emperor Constantine Prphyrogennetos in Constantinople in c. 950. He achieved prominence while serving David III Curopalates of Tao Klarjeti but, around 963, he abandoned secular society for a monastic live and worked under the name of Ioane (Ioannis, John) in the Athanasius Lavra on Mount Athos. In 978, Byzantine Emperor Basil, facing a powerful rebellion of Bardas Scleros (976-979), appealed for help to David Curopalates, who asked Tornike Eristavi to return temporarily to a layman’s life and lead the Georgian forces. As the Life of Saint John and Euthymos relates, Tornike was reluctant to leave the monastery but was persuaded by Athanasios and John the Iberian, prominent Georgian theologians, that it would be in the best interests of the Athonite monks for him to fulfill the imperial request. A Georgian expeditionary corps under Tornike Eristavi was dispatched to Basil’s aid and defeated the insurgents led by Bardas Skleros restoring royal authority to the emperor in March 979. Tornike was generously rewarded and granted the title of synkellos. As the Life of Saints Jogn and Euthimious reports, Tornike returned with "perecious objects: and some twelve kentenaria (1,200 lb, over 600 kg) of gold and used this money to found the famous Iviron Monastery on Mt. Athos. Tornike donated all his possessions to this monastery and spent the rest of his life as a monk here. The Ivirion Monastery soon became one of the most important Georgian cultural centers, where Georgian monks produced original illuminated manuscripts, translations and treatises.
