Abstract

The origin of the social layers of medieval feudal Georgia in the form of separate principalities was determined by the problem related to the socio-economic and political structure of feudal Georgia. Principalities in Georgia were formed in the conditions of the country's dissipation. We studied the Georgian sources on this issue and compared them with the letters and reports sent by the Catholic missionaries in Rome. It can be easily said that the issues raised in different social strata of Georgia at that time and were described by the Catholic missionaries should be considered credible. The documents are in our possession and are kept in the National Center of Manuscripts, T.S.U. Library and B. Giorgadze's archive allow us to formulate and present to you the issue of the social organization of feudal Georgia. In Georgia, the nobility arose in the conditions of the country's disintegration. We compared the Georgian sources studied on this issue with the letters or reports sent by Catholic missionaries to Rome. The issues that existed in different social strata of Georgia at that time and were described by Catholic missionaries should be considered reliable. The documents that are kept in the National Center of Manuscripts, the TSU Library, and B. Giorgadze's archive allow us to formulate the issue of the social organization of feudal Georgia.
