ON IDENTIFYING THE PERSONALITY OF THE JAKELS FROM TSIKHIJVARI

Abstract

The clan of the Jakels from Tsikhisjvari left an important trace in the history of Medieval Feudal Georgia. In the previous article our aim was to try to identify the personality of the Jakels from Tsikhisjvari and to learn their history in the XI-XIII cc. According to our research we conclude that the ancestor of Sula Kalmaxelidze , a founder of Tsikhijvari family name should be Sula Japaridze- a noble man in Kalmakhi kingdom at the bound of IX-Xcc. At the end of the 50s of the XIc. Sula Kalmakheli was awarded and given Ogrkhe, Tsikhisjvari , Atskuri and the surrounding territories due to his merit for the King. So, he was called as-Tsikhisjvreli. But in Giorgi the Russian rebellion of 1191, the King revoked Javistskali gorge from Kvarkvariants and gave it to Tsikhisjvreli for merit to the king. So, Tsikhisjvreli was added a title-“Jakeli” and was called Tsikhisjvrel- Jakeli.
