Abstract:
As it is known, chronicler of king David the Builder has claimed that, as a political
figure and statesman, king David was superior to any other political-military leaders who
lived before him. According to the author, as a political leader and commander, king David
was equal to even Alexander the Great.
It has to be pointed out that this view, expressed by the Georgian chronicler of the
12th c., although very ambitious, is not groundless.
