The Principate of Iberia is a conventional term applied to an aristocratic regime in early medieval Caucasian Georgia that flourished in the period of interregnum between the sixth and ninth centuries, when the leading political authority was exercised by a succession of princes. The principate was established shortly after the Sassanid Iranian suppression of the local royal Chosroid Dynasty, around 580; it lasted until 888, when the kingship was restored by a member of the Bagrationi Dynasty.

  • The Principate of Iberia is a conventional term applied to an aristocratic regime in early medieval Caucasian Georgia that flourished in the period of interregnum between the sixth and ninth centuries, when the leading political authority was exercised by a succession of princes. The principate was established shortly after the Sassanid Iranian suppression of the local royal Chosroid Dynasty, around 580; it lasted until 888, when the kingship was restored by a member of the Bagrationi Dynasty. This polity was centered on the core region in what is now central and eastern Georgia known as Kartli to the natives and as Iberia to Classical and Byzantine authors. Its borders fluctuated greatly as the presiding princes of Iberia confronted the Iranians, Romans, Khazars, Arabs, and the neighboring Caucasian rulers throughout this period. The time of the principate was climacteric in the history of Georgia; the principate saw the final formation of the Georgian Christian church, the first flourishing of a literary tradition in the native language, the rise of the Georgian Bagratid family, and the beginning of cultural and political unification of various feudal enclaves, which would commingle in the Kingdom of Georgia by the early eleventh century.
  • Iberian ruhtinaskunta on varhaiskeskiajan Georgian aatelishallinnosta käytetty nimitys. Se kukoisti interregnum-kaudella 500- ja 800-lukujen välillä, kun poliittista valtaa käyttivät toisiaan seuranneet ruhtinaat. Ruhtinaskunta perustettiin pian sen jälkeen, kun sassanidien Persia oli nujertanut iberialaisen Khosroiani-kuningasdynastian noin vuonna 580. Se säilyi vuoteen 888 saakka, kun Bagrationi-dynastian jäsen palautti kuninkuuden. Valtio keskittyi nykyisen Georgian keski- ja itäosien ydinalueille, joita kutsutaan paikallisesti nimellä Kartli ja jotka antiikin ja Bysantin kirjailijat tunsivat nimellä Iberia. Sen rajat vaihtelivat suuresti Iberian ruhtinaiden taistellessa iranilaisia, roomalaisia, kasaareja, arabeja ja viereisiä kaukasialaisia hallitsijoita vastaan. Ruhtinaskunnan aika merkitsi Georgian historialle huomattavia, käänteentekeviä muutoksia: georgialainen kristitty kirkko muodostui lopullisesti, georgiankielinen kirjallisuus koki ensimmäisen kukoistuskautensa, georgialainen bagratidi-dynastia nousi valtaan ja eri feodaalialueiden kulttuurinen ja poliittinen yhdistyminen alkoi. Se kulminoutui Georgian kuningaskunnan muodostumiseen 1000-luvun alussa.
