Restoration of the royal title

Adarnase assumes the title «King of the Georgians», for the first time in three centuries.

888

In 888 Adarnase II Bagrationi restored the royal title in Georgia, abolished three centuries earlier, taking the title «king of the Georgians».

This was an important symbolic step: after a long interregnum, Georgian statehood once again had a lawful monarch.

The Bagrationis secured the crown that their dynasty would wear for almost a thousand years, until the 19th century.
