Bagrat VII of Kartli

Bagrat VII of Kartli

Bagrat Khan also known as Bagrat VII ( _ka. ბაგრატ VII) (1569–1619), was king of Kartli, eastern Georgia, effectively serving as a khan for the Persian shah Abbas I from 1615 to 1619.

A son of Daud Khan of Kartli, he took refuge in Persia after his father was dislodged by the Ottoman invasion in 1578. He was brought up Muslim at the shah’s court. In 1615, he was installed by Abbas I as a puppet king/khan in Kartli on the deposition of his cousin, King Luarsab II the Martyr. He exercised only a limited power confined to Lower Kartli and largely relied on Persian forces. Considered as a renegade, he was disgusted by most of the kingdom’s population and, in spite of the Persian presence, he was unable to control even seemingly loyal nobility. His short and uneventful reign was spent mostly in a town Bolnisi, where he died in 1619, to be succeeded by his son, Semayun Khan.
