Career
Adarnase was the oldest son of the Georgian presiding prince Ashot I and inherited all the lands west to the Arsiani Range with the exception of Shavsheti and Lower Tao (now in Turkey). Adarnase was married to "Bevreli", a daughter of the Abasgian king Bagrat I. At some point, she was forced by Adarnase into retirement to a monastery where she lived and died as Anastasia. Adarnase"s second son Ashot the Beautiful, died in 867.
This must have occurred in Adarnase"s lifetime as Ashot is not listed among his heirs.
