Jesse (Georgian: იესე) or Isā Khān (Persian: عیسی خان, romanized: ʿIsā Khān; Georgian: ისა-ხანი) (died September 15, 1615), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was a Safavid-appointed ruler of Kakheti in eastern Georgia from 1614 to 1615.
Held as a political hostage by Abbas I of Persia, he was converted to Islam[2] and brought up at the shah’s court in Isfahan.
[3] In 1614, when Abbas I's armies overrun Kakheti, the king Teimuraz I had to flee to western Georgia (Kingdom of Imereti).
Abbas appointed his loyal vassal, Isā Khān, as a governor of the region, but he failed to gain a foothold there.
