The Georgian Royal Family refers to the royal lineage that ruled the Kingdom of Georgia from the 11th to the 19th centuries. This dynasty is known for its significant contributions to Georgian culture, architecture, and the Orthodox Christian faith. The most notable monarchs include David IV, who united the country, and Queen Tamar, celebrated for her leadership during the Golden Age of Georgia. The royal family faced various challenges, including invasions and internal strife, leading to its eventual decline. In the early 19th century, the Georgian Kingdom was annexed by the Russian Empire, marking the end of the royal family's sovereignty. Today, their legacy continues to influence Georgian identity and heritage.
