King David 'The Builder'

By
One of my Georgian friends told me about this very famous person in Georgian history. Apparently, he was a king who built up a strong military, increased educational opportunities for all, and united the church. I'll try to get more details and report on this in depth. What I do know is this person occupies an important place in the Georgian collective consciousness.
