  George XI of Kartli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George XI (Georgian: გიორგი, Giorgi), known as Gurgin Khan (Gorgin Khan) in Persia (1651 – April 21, 1709), ruled Kartli, eastern Georgia, from 1676 to 1688 and again from 1703 to 1709.
He was granted the title of Gurgin Khan by the Shah and was appointed the viceroy of Kandahar and sipah salar (commander-in-chief) of the Persian armies.
Gurgin managed to crash the revolts of Afghan tribes and ruled Kandahar with uncompromising severity.

Imagine Gurgin's surprise and dismay when Mir Wais returned to Kandahar shortly thereafter clothed in lustrous robes of honour, symbols of respect and trust.
