Georgia’s Greatest King: The Life of David IV Bagrationi

Honestly a great, comprhensive retelling of David IV's spectacular life. He truly was our greatest monarch, and it's not even close, sorry Tamar. Also, I like how many times you re-iterate how he halted his campaigns, knowing not to press and overstress his relatively fragile forces, and whilst some would see this a sign of weakness, this lack of boldness proved extremely, consistently successful, as any kind of pushing of an advantage could at most save a year, all the while risking a total obliteration from the enemy. Risks are better not worth taking when you have only a single shot at your campaigns, as the population-lacking Georgia did.

Again im late 😅

Thank you for this amazing documentary.

IMHO, this guy, David the Builder, has earned a symphony from a certain Iranian/Canadian music artist here on YouTube

It's very unlikely that David overthrew his father.

Islam is a poisonous ideology. They almost destroyed Saqartvelo, but thanks to God it still stands

Was watching UFC fight between Georgian fighter vs Dagestani fighting under Russian flag. Georgian won and i saw a comment: "lose of the Georgian would equal to second fall of Konstantine pole" 😂

Good work 👌

Bro I’m about to listen to this while I’m at the gym…

A man doing a greater job than him eventually becomes the equal as a job itself, and stoic historian is one of the examples of this, note it kartvelians note it

this is some serious stuff. it can be said that georgian history was 50% recorded by georgians ourself and 50% was recorded by foreigners. tihs thing you do is historical. i dont think i have seen creation like that about david even from us. Respect from whole nation to this video and the author. your name may be not know in couple years, but the video you made will be remaining forever. god be with you

you're enthusiasm for the history of Georgia is really heartwarming

Underrated king. Underrated video.

May god be with you, Stoic! thank you for paying attention for our little Georgia <3

remember times when we would spam 1121 under turkish posts….. golden age

Thanks for doing this Stoic Historian, king David IV was really one of the greatest strategist, general and monarch ever in history of monarchy from around the world…

One question: what got you interested in our history? Was there something specific that made you say, "These guys might have an interesting history; let's check it out"?

Cheers to you from Georgia, for your dedication and interest in Georgian history and also great quality videos!!!
