Dinar of Hereti

Dinar was a Georgian princess of the Bagrationi dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti and Queen regnant of Hereti in the 11th century.

Life Dinar was a daughter of hereditary ruler of Tao-Klarjeti, the eristavt-eristavi, "duke of dukes" Adarnase III of Tao by his unknown wife. When the campaign of Bagrat III to the Kingdom of Hereti, the main representative of the Hereti ruling circles was Queen Dinar. Bagrat III captured her and she must have been over 90 years old.

G. M. Grigoryan believes that the grave discovered in the territory of the Vahanavank Monastery near the city of Kapan, with the word "Dinar" written on it in the Armenian alphabet, is the grave of Queen Dinar.

She is venerated as a saint. The Georgian Orthodox Church commemorates her on June 30.

In Russia Queen Dinar's story is recounted in Russian chronicles more closely and The Tale of Tsaritsa Dinara may be about her.

On the north wall of the Throne Hall in the Moscow Kremlin, there is a fresco of Queen Dinar who is depicted as being mounted on a white horse, victorious over the enemy.
