Vakhtang III ((グルジア語:ვახტანგ III)) (1276–1308), of the dynasty of Bagrationi, was the king of Georgia from 1302 to 1308. He ruled during the Mongol dominance of Georgia. A son of Demetrius II of Georgia by his Trapezuntine wife, Vakhtang was appointed, in 1302, by the Ilkhan Ghazan as a rival king to his brother David VIII, who had revolted against the Mongol rule. Vakhtang, however, controlled only the Georgian capital of Tbilisi and parts of the southern and eastern provinces of the kingdom. After an unsuccessful offensive against David's guerrillas, the brothers agreed to rule the kingdom jointly. However, Vakhtang was destined to spend most of his reign as a commander of the Georgian and Armenian auxiliaries in endless Mongol campaigns, particularly against Damascus (1303) and Gilan (1304). ==Family== Vakhtang III married Ripsime. The 18th-century ''Georgian Chronicle'' mentions her as a niece of Shabur.〔(Profile of Demetre II, his wives and children in "Medieval Lands" by Charles Cawley )〕 They had two known sons:〔 *Demetre, ruler of Dmanisi. *Giorgi, ruler of Samshvilde. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vakhtang III of Georgia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
