Where it sits in time
Five thousand years, 3000 BCE to 2026; the state in gold.
How it ended, as its article says
Conquered by Russian Empire, 1858. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.
It was ruled successively by the houses of Gelovani and Dadeshkeliani, and was annexed to the Russian Empire in 1858.

1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1826 – 1857. Only 31 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
