Bagrat V of Imereti

Bagrat V (Georgian: ბაგრატ V) (1620–1681), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a king (mepe) of Imereti, whose troubled reign in the years of 1660–61, 1663–68, 1669–78, and 1679–81, was marked by extreme instability and feudal anarchy in the kingdom.

The eldest son of Alexander III of Imereti by his first wife, Bagrat V succeeded on his father's death in 1660.

The queen dowager then remarried an insignificant aristocrat, Vakhtang Tchutchunashvili, and had him crowned as king.

In 1668, Bagrat was once again dethroned by Darejan's party with the military support of the pasha of Akhaltsikhe.

Under pressure from the Ottomans, however, Archil was soon recalled from Kutaisi, and Bagrat was replaced on the throne again in 1679.
