David VII of Georgia

David VII, called Ulu or the Elder (1215–1270), the son of George IV, ruled Georgia from 1246, jointly with his cousin David VI under Mongol suzerainty. He led Georgian troops in Hulegu Khan's 1258 siege of Baghdad.

After David VI seceded in 1259, David rebelled in 1260, was defeated near Akhaldaba and fled to Imereti; his wife Gvantsa was killed. He submitted in 1262 and died in 1270, succeeded by his son Demetrius II.
