Career
The 18th-century Georgian Chronicle mentions her as a niece of Chabour. His mother was reportedly daughter to an Emperor of Trebizond, usually identified with Manuel I of Trebizond (r 1238–1263) for chronological reasons. Vakhtang was appointed king at Tblisi by his overlord Ghazan of the Ilkhanate.
The appointment has been dated to 1301 or 1302.
He died at Nakhchivan in 1304 (or 1308) after a short period of abdominal pain (French: mal de ventre). They had two known sons:
Demetre, ruler of Dmanisi.
Giorgi, ruler of Samshvilde.
