The Byzantine-Georgian wars were a series conflicts fought during the 11th century and were mainly focused on several strategic districts in the Byzantine-Georgian-Armenian marchlands. Most of these lands were granted by Emperor Basil II to the Georgian courapalates David III of Tao in reward for his crucial assistance in the struggle against the rebel general Bardas Sklerus (978/9). However, David supported another unsuccessful noble revolt led by Bardas Phocas at the end of the 980s.

dbpprop:abstract
  • The Byzantine-Georgian wars were a series conflicts fought during the 11th century and were mainly focused on several strategic districts in the Byzantine-Georgian-Armenian marchlands. Most of these lands were granted by Emperor Basil II to the Georgian courapalates David III of Tao in reward for his crucial assistance in the struggle against the rebel general Bardas Sklerus (978/9). However, David supported another unsuccessful noble revolt led by Bardas Phocas at the end of the 980s. As a result, David was forced to make Basil II the legatee of his princedom. This agreement destroyed a previous arrangement by which David had made his adopted son, Bagrat of Abkhazia, his heir. When David died early in 1000, Basil added his inheritance – Tao, Theodosiopolis (aka Karin, Karnu; the present day Erzurum), Phasiane and the Lake Van region (Apahunik) with the city of Manzikert – to the Byzantine Empire. The following year, the Georgian prince Gurgen, natural father of Bagrat, marched to take David’s inheritance, but was thwarted by the Byzantine general Nikephoros Ouranos, dux of Antioch. Despite these setbacks, Bagrat was able to become the first king of the unified Georgian state in 1008. He died in 1014, and his son, George I, inherited a longstanding claim to those territories in Tao which were in Byzantine hands.
  • Le guerre bizantino-georgiane furono una serie di conflitti durante l'XI secolo, combattuti principalmente su diversi punti strategici al confine dell'impero bizantino, del regno georgiano e dell'Armenia. La maggior parte di queste terre furono date dall'imperatore bizantino, Basilio II al re georgiano Davide III di Tao, in ricompensa per il suo fondamentale contributo nella lotta contro i ribelle bizantino, il generale Bardas Sclero, che sì era proclamato imperatore. Tuttavia, Davide sostenne un altro generale bizantino, Bardas Foca, che sì era proclamato imperatore bizantino. Ma Bardas Foca fu sconfitto e Davide fu costretto a diventare tributario di Basilio II. Questo accordo ne ruppe uno che Davide, aveva fatto col suo figlio adottivo, Bagrat III di Georgia, erede al trono di Georgia. Quando Davide morì nei primi mesi del 1000, Basilio II ereditò Tao, Teodosiopoli (pseudonimo di Karin, Karnu; oggi Erzurum), Phasiane e la regione del lago di Van insieme alla città di Manzicerta. L'anno seguente, il principe georgiano Gurgen, padre naturale di Bagrat, marciò per prendere le terre che i bizantini avevano ereditato alla morte di Davide, ma la sua avanzata fu vanificata dal generale bizantino Niceforo Ourano, dux d'Antiochia. Nonostante questi insuccessi, Bagrat fu in grado di diventare il primo re della Georgia unificata, nel 1008. Bagrat morì nel 1014, suo figlio, Giorgio I, voleva riconquistare i territori ceduti da Davide III ai bizantini.
