Shahnshah II Zakarian

Shahnshah II Zakarian was a member of the Armenian Zakarid dynasty, and a Court official of the Kingdom of Georgia, holding the office of amirspasalar (Commander-in-Chief) and atabeg (Governor General) of Georgia.

The chronicler mentions Shahnshah a member of the Mongol punitive expedition against King David VIII.

The wife of Shahnshah II Zakarian was named Kuandze and was the daughter of the Armenian Princes Khoshak and Shams al-Din Juvayni, an Il-Khanid Sahib Divan, "the highest ranking officials in the hierarchical system of the II-khanid state", responsible for finance.

[1] Kuandze is also known from an inscription at the Church of the Holy Apostles at Ani: In 769 (ie 1320), by the mercy of God, I Khouandze, wife of Atabek Shahnchah (II) who died in this year, and caused us and our eastern country a great affliction, me, his wife, daughter of Chamchadin Sahip-Divan and of the Baroness Khorichah, (great-) granddaughter of the Atabek Ivane (I), as well as my son Zacharia (IV), for the salvation of the soul of the master and for the longevity of my brothers, we have waived in our heritage town of Ani the right to the counting of cows and donkeys, as well as on large and small entry permits.

Anyone who attempts to put an obstacle to our dispositions, whether he is Armenian, Georgian or Mongolian, may he be judged and condemned by God, may he share the fate of Satan and may he be his co-inhabitant of the gehenna; let the Georgian be excommunicated and cursed; the Mongol be covered with shame and guilt before the prophets glorified in God; but may those who observe our provisions until the end of the world be blessed by Almighty God.
