Abstract
In the historical sources of XVI-XIX centuries, the princes Chavchavadze's were named as the faithful warriors and administrators, specifically, community governors (in Georgian – “Mouravi”) of Georgian kings, from the royal dynasty of Bagrationi.
According to family tradition, the origin of the Chavchavadze family is associated with the highlands of Kakheti, specifically with the Ertso-Tianeti region. It should also be noted that the noble Chavchavadze family owned estates both in Ertso, which is in the contemporary Tianeti district, and in other parts of Kakheti, namely in the present-day districts of Telavi, Kvareli, and Akhmeta.
The estates of the prince Chavchavadze family bordered the estates of the nobility: prince Makashvili (from the west), prince Jandieri (from the south), prince Gurgenidze, and prince Jorjadze (from the north). To the east, the prince Chavchavadze estates adjoined the royal fief of Kiziki (East part of Kakheti).
The Chavchavadze family itself was divided into two branches. Their common ancestor was Roshniya Chavchavadze, who is mentioned in historical sources in 1470.
One branch of the Chavchavadzes resided in Kvareli, while the other was in Tsinandali. In these settlements were located their palaces, fortresses, and family churches. The family necropolis of the Chavchavadzes of Kvareli is, to this day, the Church of St. John the Baptist, which is also located in Kvareli. The family necropolis of the Tsinandali branch of the Chavchavadzes was represented by the Shuamta Monastery, located near Telavi (Akhali Shuamta). On July 24, 1783, in the list of Georgian nobles who signed the Treaty of Georgievsk, the Chavchavadze family is mentioned as the tenth prominent house among the 24 princely families of Kakheti.
For such loyalty to the kings the Chavchavadze's were highly appreciated by Georgian kings from the royal dynasty of Bagrationi.
