  • David I (died February 23, 943) was a Georgian prince of the Bagratid dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti who ruled, with the title of mampali, in Adjara and Nigali from 889 and in Klarjeti from 900 until his abdication in 943. David was the oldest son of Sumbat I, founder of the Klarjeti line of the Bagratids. Upon Sumbat’s death in 889, David’s younger brother Bagrat I became a successor in Klarjeti, while David’s holdings were confined to the less important territories of Adjara and Nigali. With Bagrat’s death in 900, David retrieved Klarjeti with its key fortress and trading town of Artanuji. He abdicated in favor of his son Sumbat II and died as a monk in 943. David is mentioned by Constantine Porphyrogenitus in his De Administrando Imperio which renders David's title in Greek as mampalis (μάμπαλις) and incorrectly translates it as "all-holy".
  • David I d'Artanoudji, dit David le Grand, est un prince géorgien d'Artanoudji-Calarzène du X siècle. David Bagration est le fils aîné de Soumbat I, prince d'Artanoudji-Calarzène. Sa famille, héritière légitime de la couronne d'Ibérie, règne depuis la moitié du IX siècle sur la province géorgienne de l'Artanoudji-Calarzène, une principauté héréditaire considérée comme un « lot de consolation » pour cette branche des Bagrations qui a été déshéritée par le Basileus en 830. À la mort de son père, en 889, il aurait dû hériter d'Artanoudji, mais c'est son frère cadet Bagrat qui devient duc de Calarzène à sa place. Mais ce Bagrat meurt en 909 et David en profite pour prendre son trône. La Chronique géorgienne dit que ce David était un bon chrétien et qu'il multiplia les églises, d'où son surnom de Grand. En 943, il abdique en faveur de son fils aîné Soumbat et se fait moine. Il meurt la même année. Il a eu d'une épouse inconnue deux enfants : Soumbat, prince d'Artanoudji-Calarzène une fille, qui épouse Adarnassé Bagration, prince d'Artanoudji-Calarzène
