Bagrat V of Georgia

Bagrat V the Great (died 1393) of the Bagrationi dynasty was the son of David IX. He ruled as co-king from 1355 and was crowned at Kutaisi after succeeding his father in 1360, winning fame as a soldier and archer.

His 1385 alliance with Tokhtamysh of the Golden Horde brought war with Timur, who sacked Tbilisi and captured him in 1386. Feigning conversion to Islam, Bagrat was freed and promptly destroyed his Timurid escort with his sons. He died in 1393, leaving the crown to George VII.
