Mtavari

By Crusader1307

A Feudal Russian Title comparable to that of ''Duke'' (and possibly substituted with ''Prince'') – ''Mtavari'' was in used from the 5^th Century to 11^th Century AD. The Title was award by The Tsar (King) and was only given to 5 Princes (sub-Rulers), who were in charge of often far flung Provinces and Territories, by which The Tsar needed reliable and trustworthy Men to control. By the 15^th Century AD, ''Mtavari'' was also used as an inherited Title (Father to Son). The Position disappeared from usage around the 17^th Century AD.
