Вахтанг VI
Born in the village of Gorisubani into the Georgian princely ("tavadi") family of Guramishvili (a branch of the greater Amilakhvari house), Davit Guramishvili spent his early years in his patrimonial estate near Saguramo. As an eighteen-year-old he took part in the battle of Zedavela, which resulted in the defeat of King Vakhtang VI of Kartli at the hands of Ottoman army, Dagestani clansmen and renegade Georgians that plunged Georgia into complete anarchy. This period is chronicled in several sections of Guramishvili's "Davitiani" (დავითიანი) conventionally called "Georgia’s Afflictions" (ქართლის ჭირი).
