Bagration-Davitishvili (Georgian: ბაგრატიონ-დავითიშვილი) is a Georgian family, a cadet branch of the Kakhetian line of the Bagrationi royal dynasty.In turn, Kakhetian line descents from George VIII (I), last king of united Georgian kingdom and first king of Kakheti. Their ancestry traces back to the Kakhetian prince Davit whose father, Demetre, was blinded by his brother Avgiorgi (Georgian: ავგიორგი) after the latter killed his reigning father Alexander I of Kakheti, and usurped the crown in 1511.[1] The Bagration-Davitishvili fled Kakheti to the neighboring Georgian kingdom of Kartli where they persisted as a princely family. After the annexation of Georgia by Imperial Russia, the family, in the person of Solomon Bagration-Davitishvili, was confirmed in princely dignity (Russian: Багратионы-Давыдовы, Bagration-Davidov) on December 21, 1849.[2] As one can see, the Bagrationi-Davitishvili family is direct descendant of last king of united Georgian kingdom George VIII (a.k.a. George I of Kakheti) and, thus, its members may be considered as fair pretendents for Georgian throne.
