Until the mid-nineteenth century, the Italian peninsula comprised a number of states, some of which were monarchies. During theItalian unification, the monarchs of such agglomerated states lost their sovereignty and their titles became purely ceremonial. The resultant throne of the Kingdom of Italy was held by the former king ofSardinia.

During thepartition of the kingdom in the 15th Century, the Bagratid dynasty split into two main lineages: the Mukhrani line ofKartli claiming the throne by virtue of being the genealogically senior line, and the Gruzinsky line ofKakheti claiming the throne by virtue of having produced the last reigning monarch. It is between these two lineages that the leadership of the Royal House of Georgia is now disputed. However, the current rival pretenders were married between 2009 and 2013 and had a sonGiorgi, who is heir apparent to both claims, thus making their unification in the near future almost certain.
