==Elder line== The "Elder House" of Princes Gruzinsky was an offshoot of the House of Mukhrani. Vakhtang V became the first King of Kartli from the Mukhrani line in 1658 but it was dispossessed of the throne of Kartli in 1726. The descendents of this offshoot from Prince Bakar of Georgia (1699/1700-1750) survived in Russia after he moved there in 1724 following his brief rule in Kartli. In Russia his royal family received the title of Gruzinsky but became extinct with deaths of Prince Pyotr (1837–1892) and Prince Ivane (1831–1898). The family had estates in the governorates of Moscow and Nizhegorod, and it was confirmed among the princely nobility of Russia in 1833.
