About Tamar Gourieli

Tamar Gurieli was an 18th-century Georgian princess of the House of Gurieli and Queen consort of Imereti. Through her marriages to George IV Dadiani, Prince of Mingrelia and later to King George VI of Imereti, she became a central figure in the dynastic politics and civil conflicts of western Georgia. Active during a prolonged period of instability, she was involved in struggles among Guria, Mingrelia, Imereti, and the Ottoman authorities, and is remembered in Georgian historiography—following Donald Rayfield—as the last of the so-called “femmes fatales” of Imereti.
