David X of Kartli

David X (Georgian: დავით X) (1482–1526) was the second King of the Georgian Kingdom of Kartli from 1505 to 1525. He associated with the throne from his childhood, he became king on the death of his father and must therefore suffer invasions from both Imereti and Kakheti. A reformer, he managed to subdue the army and destroyed the power of the nobles by abolishing the semi-independent principalities which were ruining the unity of the country, before uniting eastern Georgia under a single scepter
