Dinar (Georgian: დინარ დედოფალი) was a 10th-century Georgian royal princess of the Bagrationi dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti and Queen regnant of Hereti. She is venerated as a saint. The Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates her on June 30.

Life

Dinar was a daughter of hereditary ruler of Tao-Klarjeti, the eristavt-eristavi, "duke of dukes" Adarnase III of Tao by his unknown wife.

According to The Georgian Chronicles Queen Dinar, along with her son Ishkhani converted Hereti to the Eastern Orthodox confession and abandoned the Oriental Orthodox confession in the 10th century.

In Russia

Queen Dinar’s story is recounted in the Russian Chronicles more closely and The Tale of Tsaritsa Dinara may be about her. According to the Armenian historian Movses Kaghankatvatsi, Slavic tribes that carried out raids in the southern Caucasus the story of Queen Dinar became well known for them and this story made its way to Russia.

Today, on the north wall of the Throne Hall in the Moscow Kremlin, there's a fresco of Queen Dinar who's mounted on a white horse, victorious over the enemy.

Notes

  1. ^
    Adarnase IV restored Georgian kingship in 888[3] as the Kingdom of the Iberians and this would go on to dominate the political life of Georgia for a thousand years.[4]
  2. ^
    David III, being childless, took advice from the Georgian aristocracy and adopted his kin, prince Bagrat in 975.[5] This will lead and pave the way for the unification of Georgia.[6]
  3. ^
    King Bagrat III, the first monarch of unified Georgia was ruthless in his state administration. While visiting Castle of Panaskerti in Tao, king summoned his two cousins, Sumbat III and Gurgen. They were arrested and executed. Sumbat’s son Bagrat, and Gurgen’s son Demetrius, escaped to the Byzantine Empire. The Bagrationi line of Tao was already extinct since 941;[7] now with purging his own cousins the line of Klarjeti was also gone and no rival could ever claim the Georgian throne.[8]
