Ashot I the Great (
Georgian
:
აშოტ
I
დიდი
) (died 826/830) was a
presiding prince
of
Iberia
(modern
Georgia
), first of the
Bagratid family
to have attained to this office c. 813. From his base in
Tao-Klarjeti
, he fought to enlarge the Bagratid territories and sought the
Byzantine
protectorate against the Arab encroachment until being murdered c. 830. Ashot is also known as Ashot I Curopalates for the Byzantine
title
he wore. A patron of Christian culture and a friend of the church, he has been
canonized
by the
Georgian Orthodox Church
.
Biography
Ashot was the son of the Iberian nobleman
Adarnase
who had founded the Bagratid hereditary fiefdom in Tao-Klarjeti (now northeast
Turkey
) and bequeathed to his son extensive possessions acquired upon the extinction of his
Guaramid
and
Chosroid
cousins. Ashot initially failed to gain a foothold in central Iberia (
Shida Kartli
), his efforts being dashed by the Arab
control of Tiflis
. Ashot established himself in his patrimonial duchy of
Klarjeti
, where he restored the castle of
Artanuji
said to have been built by the Iberian king
Vakhtang I Gorgasali
in the 5th century, and received the Byzantine protection, being recognized as the presiding prince and curopalates of Iberia. To revive the country devastated by the Arabs and cholera epidemics, he patronized the local monastic communities established by
Grigol Khandzteli
, and encouraged the settlement of the Georgians in the region. As a result, the political and religious center of Iberia was effectively transferred from central Iberia to the south-west, in Tao-Klarjeti.

From his base in Tao-Klarjeti, Ashot fought to recover more Georgian lands from the Arab hold and, though not always successful, succeeded in taking much of the adjoining lands from
Tao
in the southwest to Shida Kartli in the northeast, including
Kola
,
Artani
,
Javakheti
,
Samtskhe
, and
Trialeti
. Of the former Chosroid possessions, only
Kakheti
to the east eluded him. With local Arab emirs in the
Caucasus
growing ever more independent, the
Caliph
recognized Ashot as the prince of Iberia in order to counter the rebellious emir of Tiflis Isma’il ibn Shu’aib c. 818. The emir had enlisted support of Ashot’s foe—the Kakhetian prince
Grigol
—and the Georgian highland tribes of
Mtiulians
and
Tsanars
. Ashot, joined by the Byzantine vassal king of
Abasgia
,
Theodosius II
, met the emir on the
Ksani
, winning a victory and pushing the Kakhetians from central Iberian lands.
[2]
The Bagratids' fortunes reversed when Khalid b. Yazid, the Caliph's viceroy of
Armīniya
, moved in to reinforce the central Arab authority in the Caucasian polities in 827/8. Ashot I must have been still alive at that time, and the information provided by the 11th-century Georgian chronicler
Sumbat
, according to which Ashot was murdered in 826, is doubtful. It is more likely that the event took place four years later, on January 29, 830. Driven by the Arabs from central Iberia, Ashot fell back to the
Nigali valley
where he was assassinated by renegades at the altar of a local church.

[4]
Upon Ashot's death, his holdings were allotted to his three sons:
Bagrat
,
Adarnase
, and
Guaram
.

His daughter was married to Theodosius II of Abasgia.
