- Rusudan, daughter of Demetre I of Georgia
Rusudan ( _ka. რუსუდანი) was a 12th-13th-century Georgian princess of the Bagrationi royal family. She was a daughter of King Demetre I of Georgia, sister of the kings David V and George III, and a paternal aunt of the famous Queen Tamar of Georgia.
In 1154 she married with the Prince Iziaslav II of Kiev, but the marriage only lasted a few months before his death in that year. Secondly she was married to Hiyas ad-Din Sanjar Shah, a Seljuq sovereign of Khorasan and Iraq from 1160 to 1161. When her second husband died, she returned to Georgia and ruled over it as a regent in the first years of Queen Tamar’s reign. She was also a tutor and patron of the Alan prince Soslan-David whom Tamar married as her second husband in 1189. In her eighties, Rusudan withdrew to a monastery c. 1210.
