Prince Jibrael of Georgia

He was 13 years old in 1801, when the kingdom of Georgia was annexed by the Russian Empire following the death of George XII and the ensuing dynastic disputes.

The Russian administration considered Jibrael an unimportant member of the Georgian royal family, for his physical abilities were limited by a pronounced vertebral deformity;[1] his elder brother, Mikhail, even petitioned the tsar to grant a pension to Jibrael on account of his being kyphotic and not suitable for military service.

Thus, the Russian general Ivan Lazarev, in a communication to Saint Petersburg, accused the prince of harassing the villagers of Shilda.

The report has it that the young prince and his sister Tamar, with daggers in their hands, threatened the Russian officer Surokov and his companions into leaving the queen's mansion, prompting the intervention of General Lazarev, who confronted Mariam over the resettlement issue and was stabbed to death by her.

[4] Jibrael was disarmed, arrested, and escorted to Saint Petersburg, where he lived for the rest of his life and died, unmarried and without children, at the age of 23.
