Genealogical ancestry of the Bagrationi Royal family of Georgia
My name is Armen bagrationi, an Armenian living in the states. Recently I visited the "Official" webpage of the Royal family of Georgia, and was pleaseantly amused by the history of the Bagrationi family presented there. Mostly, false. They allege lineage to the house of King David of Judea.
The Bagrationis were an Armenian princely tribe, shall I say. Currently, out of 9 million Armenians worldwide, there are 79,000 counted(maybe more) Bagrationis. The current number of Bagrationis in Georgia stands at 1,200 plus or more, and 90% of those profess their Armenian ancestry. The 1915 Genocide killed about 37,000 Bagrationi Armenians in Historical Armenia.
There is absolutely nothing wrong having a royal family whose ancesters were Armenian. Look at the royal house of Europe, most, if not all are related to the Danish and British royal houses.
The moral of this post: There is absolutely nothing wrong, nothing to be ashamed of having a royal family whose predessessors migrated from Armenia proper.
Many greetings to the members of the royal house of Georgia.
Respectfully
Armen Bagrationi
