Kingdom of Georgia
Also known as Georgian Empire
The Kingdom of Georgia was a medieval Christian monarchy united by Bagrat III around 1008. It reached its golden age under David IV the Builder and Queen Tamar, controlling much of the Caucasus. Mongol and Timurid invasions weakened it, and it split into separate kingdoms and principalities by 1490.
