He succeeded upon the death of his father Kvirike IV. The medieval Georgian chroniclers characterize him as a frivolous man whose ignorant rule drew many great nobles into opposition. In 1105, Aghsartan was arrested by his vassals, the princes Arishiani of Hereti,[1] and handed over to King David IV of Georgia who finally annexed the kingdom of Kakheti to the unified all-Georgian realm.
