Vakhtang II

[1] It is true that this would lead to the spread of Mongol domination in Western Georgia, but this time Davit Narin considered the restoration of the country's unity more important and agreed to Ilkhanid Arghun's proposal.

[2] The purpose of meeting David Narin with his son, Vakhtang, seems to have been to make sure that this political plan of the Mongols was supported in Eastern Georgia itself.

It seemed as if everything indicated that Sadun of Mankaberd's [ka] son would take over the reins of the country's government like his father, but Vakhtang did not turn out to be the kind of person Khutlubuga had hoped for.

The chronicler describes Vakhtang II as a person endowed with positive qualities in every way: humble, merciful, generous, loving justice and, most importantly, strong-willed, who was not influenced by anyone.

In March 1291, Arghun died, and Khutlubuga, with the help of the pro-Noyns, was given hope of victory again, but he still failed because he firmly held the reign of Vakhtang.
