Constantine VIII, shortly after Bagrat's ascension to the Georgian throne, sends in an army to take over the key city-fortress of Artanuji (modern Ardanuç, Turkey) on behalf of the Georgian Bagratid prince Demetre, son of Gurgen of Klarjeti, who had been dispossessed by Bagrat IV's grandfather, Bagrat III, of his patrimonial fief at Artanuji early in the 1010s.

Several Georgians nobles defect to the Empire, but Bagrat's loyal subjects put up a stubborn fight.

Constantine's death in 1028 renders the invasion abortive.
