Khorashan of Kartli

Khorashan (Georgian: ხორაშანი, also Khoreshan, ხორეშანი, or Khvareshan, ხვარეშანი; died 1658) was a member of the Georgian Bagrationi dynasty, a daughter of King George X of Kartli and a consort of Teimuraz I of Kakheti, whom she married as his second wife in 1612. She spent more than four decades of her life with Teimuraz, whose eventful reign ended with his final overthrow by a pro-Iranian faction in 1648. Khorashan accompanied him in his flights and comebacks. She was involved in diplomacy and patronized Catholic missionaries.
