Sumbat I (Georgian: სუმბატ I) (died 958) was a Georgian prince of the Bagrationi dynasty of Tao-Klarjeti, hereditary ruler of Lower Tao and the titular king (mepe) of Iberia from 937 until his death.
Sumbat was the youngest son of Adarnase IV. He was a younger brother of David II upon whose death he succeeded as “King of the Iberians” in 937, and of Ashot II upon whose death he succeeded as the Byzantine dignitary curopalates in 954.[1] Sumbat is commemorated in the church inscriptions from Ishkhani and Doliskana in what is now Artvin Province, Turkey.[2]
