Abstract

The article qbout the role and purpose of Georgian women in the past of our country. In particular, it is about the wisdom, loyalty and courage of the women of the Erekle II family. We rely on the writing of the romantic writer Alexander Orbeliani and create the portrait of The King’s Daughter-in-law, George XII’s first wife, Ketevan Andronikashvili.

The interference of the Russian government in the domestic affairs of the Georgian kingdom is obvious. Enemies were ruled by the naïve George XII through the treacherous Georgian princes.

It turned out that the country prevented a military coup by the intervention of Ketevan Andronikashvili. An unanswered question is clearly heard in the essay: Did the enemies poison young Ketevan to weaken and then overthrow the royal court? This issue is still relevant.
