About King of Kartli and Kakheti Teimuraz I (Nazar Ali Khan) Bagrationi

T'eimuraz I of the Kakhet'i Bagratid line, ruled off and on from 1606- 1616, 1623-1632, 1634-1648.

Teimuraz I was married twice; first, in 1609, to Anna, daughter of Mamia II Gurieli, Prince of Guria, who died of an ulcerated throat within a year, and then, in 1612, to Khorashan of the Bagrationi branch of Kartli (died 1658).

He fathered three sons and two daughters:

By Anna

Prince Leon (Levan) (1606–1624) Prince Alexander (1609–1620) Both of them were taken in hostage by Abbas I in 1614 and castrated in an act of revenge in 1620. The young princes did not survive the mutilation and died shortly thereafter.

Princess Tinatin (1610–1642). She married Shah Safi in 1637. By Khorashan

Prince David (1612–1648), created Prince of Mukhrani in 1627. He died in the battle with the Iranian army, and the dynasty was continued by his son, Heraclius. Princess Darejan (died 1668), married successively to Duke Zurab of Aragvi (1623), Alexander III of Imereti (1630), and Vakhtang of Imereti (1661), and notorious for her controversial role in the politics of western Georgia.

[the two Georgian kings, Alexander and Giorgi, came to Er- evan to the shah’s presence. The shah (Shah Abbas II Safavi), with his characteristic [101] cunningness, greeted them with great love and respect, honored them with khal‘ats and gifts to satisfy them and all onlookers and peace- fully kept them by his side until he took the fortress of Erevan.!
After that, due to his evil and dark nature, he gave King Giorgi some kind of poisoned potion, so that the latter would die after sev-eral days. For a while, King Giorgi did not suspect the shah's devious behavior against him. Shortly after tat, the shah, with kind- ness and gifts, released Giorgi to go home. He left Erevan and went to his city of Tiflis. He lived for several days and died according to the will and wish of the shah.” The people and the nobles put Giorgi's son, Luarsab,’ who was an adolescent, in his place. Thus the shah’s action ended the days of King Giorgi.
The shah (Shah Abbas II Safavi), however, kept King Alexander with him and did not re- lease him. He took Alexander with him and forced him to wander [with the shah] here and there and demanded hostages from him. That is why Alexander, in despair, involuntarily brought his grand- son, T'eimuraz, who was still a child, and gave him as a hostage to the shah. Then the shah permitted him to leave. Alexander, released by the shah, went back home, but his grandson, T‘eimuraz,’ remained at the shah's court. This T'eimuraz was the son of David [I], the son of Alexander [I].]
