David IV of Georgia, often called David the Builder, was a Bagrationi monarch who ruled from 1089 until 1125. Born in Kutaisi, he ascended to power during a period of severe instability caused by Seljuk incursions. Through extensive administrative and military reforms, he successfully reunited much of the Caucasus under Georgian control and secured the kingdom's independence. Recognized as a significant patron of Christian culture and a poet, he is remembered as a pivotal figure who initiated the Georgian Golden Age.
