Kingdom of Imereti
The Kingdom of Imereti was one of the three Georgian kingdoms that came into being after the fall of the Kingdom of Georgia . It was split off from the rest of Georgia by Demetre, a Bagratid . This happened in 1445, 1455, or 1466, depending on the source. Since Imeretia was fought over between Georgians, Turks , Persians and Russians , the principalities of Mingrelia , Abkhazia and Guria (1466, remained a vassal until around 1547) soon split off.
From 1478 to 1483 it was annexed by Kakheti . Later, individual kings of Imereti Mingrelia (1661–1664) and Guria (1681–1683, 1701/02, 1720) were able to win back for a short time. In 1810 the kingship in Imereti expired when the area was annexed by the Russian Empire.
