David V (Шаблон:Lang-ka, Davit' V; 1113 — 1155),[1] of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a 7th king (mepe) of Georgia in 1154 before his death in 1155[2]

Early life

David was the eldest son of Demetrius I. Demetrius had two sons: David and George (the future King George III). According to the law of inheritance, the royal throne belonged to David, but for unknown reasons, Demetrius preferred his youngest son George. Fearing that after the death of his father, George would indeed take the throne, David it seems, saw well that he would not take the throne if he did not act.

He began to prepare conspiracies aimed at overthrowing Demetrius, but the king quickly suppressed this speech, although Demetrius did not punish the rebellion's leader. This must have happened around 1150.

Reign

The first failure did not scare David; he organized a new rebellion against his father, deposed him from the throne, made him a monk, and sent him to David Gareja monastery. The dethronement of Demetrius was followed by the dismissal of his supporters and officials. David took away the Amirspasalar of the Orbelians and gave it to Tirkash Abuletisdze, who was captured by his father and released by him. This is Tirkash, whose father, Ivane, was exposed in a plot against Demetrius and executed by the king's order. Ivan's son, Tirkashi, was hostile to the king, so he was captured.

These measures of David created numerous opponents, which gathered around David's brother Giorgi. Demetrius, ordained as a monk in David Gareja, also had a secret connection with this group.

Death

David V died six months after becoming king.[3] Armenian historian Mkhitar Gosh blames the death of Davit on the Orbelians. In contrast, another Armenian historian, Vardan, directly points to his killers - Sumbat and Ivane Orbelian. This news, according to sources, happened in 1154-1155. After that, Demetrius I returned to Tbilisi and installed his younger son George as his co-leader, and the Orbelians probably regained the Amirspasalar at the price of this service.

Aftermath

David V's young son, Demna, remained. After David's death, he was given to the Orbelians to raise. Later, in 1177, Prince Demna claimed the royal throne, which led to a great rebellion against George in 1177-78. Demna was supported by his father-in-law - Ivane Orbelian, a man who, according to sources, played a significant role in George's reign. This rebellion failed, and King George III brutally punished its leaders.
