David IX of Georgia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David IX of Georgia (d. 1360), from the Bagrationi dynasty, was king of Georgia from 1346 until his death.
He ascended the throne succeeding on the death of his father George V the Brilliant in 1346. However, the kingdom’s stability and prosperity left by his father was not to last though, as the Black Death swept through the area in 1348, decimating the population and producing severe economic crisis.
He died, to be succeeded by his son, Bagrat V the Great in 1360.
He was married to Sindukhtar, daughter of Q’varq’vare II Jaq’eli, Prince of Samtskhe-Saatabago. They had two children:
- Bagrat V of Georgia
- Gulq’an Khanum (known as Eudocia in Trebizond (d. 1395), who married first Andronicus Comnenus and after he died his brother, Emperor Manuel III of Trebizond in 1379.
