Beka II Jaqeli

Beka II Jaqeli (1332–1391) became atabeg of Samtskhe in 1361, succeeding his father Qvarqvare I, and was confirmed in office by his kinsman King Bagrat V of Georgia. From 1372 he ruled Meskheti jointly with his brother Shalva, until Shalva's death in 1389.

During Timur's invasions of Georgia Beka's authority collapsed, and he abandoned Bagrat and surrendered to Timur. He died in 1391, leaving the throne to his son Ivane II.
