Adarnase II, sometimes known as Adarnase I,[1] (Georgian: ადარნასე) was a Georgian Bagratid prince and a co-ruler of Tao-Klarjeti with his brothers — Bagrat I Kuropalates and Guaram Mampali — with the title of eristavt-eristavi ("duke of dukes") (830-c. 870).
[3] Adarnase was the oldest son of the Georgian presiding prince Ashot I and inherited all the lands west to the Arsiani Range with the exception of Shavsheti and Lower Tao (now in Turkey).
[4] Adarnase was married to "Bevreli", a daughter of the Abasgian king Bagrat I.
At some point, she was forced by Adarnase into retirement to a monastery where she lived and died as Anastasia.
After Adarnase's death c. 870, his possessions were equally divided among his sons: Gurgen obtained Tao, while Sumbat received Klarjeti.
