David V of Georgia

David V (c. 1113–1155) was the eldest son of Demetrius I and grandson of David IV the Builder. After Demetrius disinherited him in favour of his younger brother George, David's first coup failed around 1150, but in 1154 he overthrew his father, forced him into a monastery, and took the throne.

He appointed a new commander-in-chief, alienating the Orbeli brothers. After six months as king he died, reportedly poisoned by them. His son Demna was passed over in favour of his uncle George III.
