Georgian feudalism

Georgian feudalism (Georgian: პატრონყმობა, romanized: p'at'ronq'moba; from p'at'roni, "lord", "master", and q'moba, "slavery", "serfdom"), as the system of personal dependence or vassalage in ancient and medieval Georgia is referred to, arose from a tribal-dynastic organization of society upon which was imposed, by royal authority, an official hierarchy of regional governors, local officials and subordinates. It is thought to have its roots into the ancient Georgian, or Iberian, society of the Hellenistic period.
