Tamar: Lion of the Caucasus (AKA Georgia on My Mind)

All Episodes

December 27, 2022 • 40 mins

In a scene out of “House of the Dragon,” an elderly king appoints his young daughter to rule his medieval realm after his death. But the beautiful, pious, and wise Queen Tamar would find her claim to the Kingdom of Georgia challenged by nobles, religious leaders, courtiers, sultans—and the most annoying ex-husband in history. Waging war on her borders while setting an example of mercy and restraint, Tamar’s armies fought with sword, spear and shield to expand her kingdom and usher Georgia into its golden age of wealth, literature and stability. Actor Nathalie Emmanuel joins father-daughter history team Jon & Emily Jordan to tell the story of Tamar.
