Let's start at the very beginning with the first king. His name was Ashot I, and he was a really important king. Ashot I had two sons named Adarnase I and Bagrat I. These sons were like princes and they became kings after Ashot I died.

Now, let's focus on Bagrat I. He had a son named Gurgen. Gurgen became a king after his father. Gurgen then had a son named Adarnase II who then had two sons, Bagrat II and Adarnase III. Whew, the family is getting bigger!

Bagrat III was an important king too. He had two sons named George II and David II. George II became a king and had a son named Bagrat IV. David II also became a king and had a son named George III and a daughter named Tamar.

Now, let's focus on Tamar because she's a special queen! Tamar became the queen of Georgia, which was a big deal because she was a girl. She ruled Georgia very well and had a son named George IV.

George IV became the king and had two sons named Demetrius II and David VI. Demetrius II then became a king and had two sons named Alexander I and Constantine I. Alexander I became a king and had two sons named Alexios I and George V.
