Georgia's King George III had no son and crowned his daughter Tamar co-ruler, and the place of her grave is still disputed

King George III of Georgia had no sons and named his daughter Tamar his successor. He crowned her co-ruler in front of the senior nobles and clergy. When he died on 27 March 1184, the nobles made her be crowned a second time in a ceremony that stressed their own rights. The treasurer Qutlu-Arslan led a revolt demanding control over state decisions. Tamar had him arrested, then gave way to negotiation. The court married her to Prince Yuri, son of Andrey Bogolyubsky of Vladimir, around 1185. About two and a half years later she divorced him, saying he abused "the temple of God," and sent him into exile with considerable wealth. Yuri came back, was crowned king at Geguti with the support of Guzan of Tao, and was defeated by Tamar's army. In 1189 she married David Soslan, and their son George succeeded her. Tamar died in 1213. The Georgian Encyclopedia says her body was taken to the royal vault at Gelati. Popular accounts say the burial was kept secret so enemies could not desecrate it, and other sites, including Vardzia and Jerusalem, have been proposed^†. In March 2021 Facebook posts claimed her grave had been found in Hereti; Georgia's National Agency for Cultural Heritage Preservation said it had no such information.
