David IV of Georgia


David IV, also known as David the Builder , of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a king of Georgia from 1089 until his death in 1125.

The year of Davids birth can be calculated from the date of his accession to the throne recorded in the Life of King of Kings David , written c. 11231126, as koronikon 309, that is, 1089, when he wasyears old. Thus, he would have been born in koronikon 293 or 294, that is, c. 1073. According to the same source, he died in koronikon 345, when he would have been in his 52nd or 53rd year. Professor Cyril Toumanoff gives 1070 andJanuary 1125 as the dates for David. The earliest known document that makes mention of David is the royal charter of his father, George II of Georgia , granted to the Mghvime monastery and dated to 1073.
