King George V the Brilliant (also translated as the Illustrious, or Magnificent; 1286–1346) of Georgia blesses the delegation to Jerusalem. George V of the Bagrationi dynasty, was the king (mepe) of the Kingdom of Georgia from 1299 to 1302 and again from 1314 until his death in 1346.

After consolidating and fortifying the Georgian kingdom, George the Brilliant successfully expelled the Mongols, bringing an end to nearly a century of foreign domination. This pivotal achievement marked a resurgence of Georgia’s political stature on the international stage. King George V actively cultivated diplomatic relations with neighboring realms, Western European powers, and the Mamluk Sultanate. He also forged economic partnerships with Italian city-states and made notable strides in extending Georgian influence within the Empire of Trebizond.
