Georgios I (also George I; Arabic: Firaki) was a ruler of the Nubian state of Makuria (c. AD 860 – 920).
The events about the king are preserved in the writings of Egyptian historians al-Maqrizi, al-Balawi and Ibn Taghribirdi.
In his youth, his father Zacharias III appointed him co-regent and dispatched him on the long journey to Baghdad.
[1] For several years Egypt had been wracked by the Fourth Fitna and Zacharias had halted payments of the baqt.
It is not certain if he traveled all the way to Baghdad or whether he simply went to Cairo; either way his journey had a major effect, and a new treaty was signed canceling the arrears and changing the terms of the baqt so that it only needed to be paid once every three years.
