Constantine IX Monomachos
During Bagrat's exile at the Byzantine court enforced by the rebellion of Liparit IV, Duke of Kldekari, in the 1050s, Gurandukht was "protector" ("patroni") of Bagrat's young son George II, who was declared king in Bagrat's absence at Constantinople. It was she who demanded that the emperor Constantine IX Monomachos return Bagrat to Georgia. Gurandukht then took part in the restoration of Bagrat's authority in Georgia following the downfall of Liparit.
