Gurandukht of Abkhazia

Gurandukht or Guarandukht (Georgian: გურანდუხტი, გუარანდუხტი, fl. 960–999) was a daughter of King George II of Abkhazia and wife of the Bagratid royal Gurgen of Kartli. She was the last known member of the royal house of Abkhazia, a fact that provided an opportunity to her son, Bagrat, to claim the crown of Abkhazia. By virtue of being also heir to the Georgian Bagratid principalities, Bagrat went on to become the first king of unified Kingdom of Georgia. Gurandukht stood by her son in his political and cultural enterprises. Gurandukht is known from The Georgian Chronicles and several inscriptions.
