Line of succession to the former Georgian throne
The Georgian royal family of the Bagrations practiced masculine primogeniture, legitimate sons and their descendants taking precedence over daughters and natural sons, and their descendants. Tamara the Great in 1184 was among the nation's earliest ruling queens and Tamara II, 560 years later in 1744, became the last.
In 2017, Ilia II, the Catholicos-Patriarch of Georgia, renewed a call for the restoration of a constitutional monarchy in Georgia. This sentiment was echoed at the time by the ruling coalition party, The Georgian Dream. being the seniormost legitimate descendant of the dynasty in the male line.
Other prominent Georgians, however, acknowledge the claim of Prince Nugzar, who springs from a junior branch of the Bagratids, which consisted of eastern Georgia (Iberia). uphold his claim as that of the most recent branch of the family to have reigned. Whereas the Mukhraneli fled the Russian revolution to western Europe and asserted their claim from abroad until the fall of the Soviet Union (whereupon the heir repatriated), unbeknownst to the West the main Gruzinzky line remained in Georgia under Russian domination, after Georgia obtained official independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
