The Kingdom of Abkhazia, also known as the Kingdom of the Abkhazes refers to an early medieval feudal state in the Caucasus which lastes from the 780s until being united, through dynastic succession, with the Kingdom of Georgia (see Tao-Klarjeti) in 1008.After acquiring Egrisi via a dynastic union in the 780s,Abkhazia becomes the dominant power in the region and the Kingdom of Abkhazia, also known as the Kingdom of Egrisi or the Kingdom of the Abkhaz, is established.

During this period the Georgian language replaces Greek as the language of literacy and culture.

The kingdom flourishes between 850 and 950 when it annexes significant parts of Eastern Georgia including Tbilisi.

A period of unrest ensues, which ends as Abkhazia and eastern Georgian states are unified under a single Georgian monarchy, ruled by King Bagrat III (who is buried in the Monastery of Bedia in the Tkvarcheli district of Abkhazia)in the late 10th and early 1th centuries.
