Jigda-Khatun (Georgian: ჯიგდა-ხათუნი) (died 1252) was a queen consort of Georgia as the first wife of King David VII Ulu.
[3] Jigda-Khatun's involvement in the government of Georgia was occasioned by David's departure for the court of Batu Khan, when she, together with the courtier Jikur, was left in charge of regency.
Jikur, although holding a relatively minor office of Master of Ceremonies (mestumre), had risen to prominence thanks to his undaunted loyalty to David and had been instrumental in reducing brigandage in the country.
[4][5] Jigda-Khatun's regency was defied by the nobleman Torghva of Pankisi, who attempted to secede in Kakheti, a region entrusted to him by David.
[6] As Jigda-Khatun remained childless, a fact that was a source of great concern for the Georgian nobles, David took, c. 1249, a temporary wife, the beautiful Alan woman Altun, whom he agreed to dismiss after the birth of an heir.
