The Thao - Klardzhet princedom achieved the best bloom during David III Kuropalat board (died in 1001). In the empire there were big civil works, extention of the church-cloister centers network. The Thao - Klardzhet princedom was a part of the incorporated Georgian empire with Bagrat III from the family of Bagrationi.
