Gobron was a 10th-century Georgian military leader recognized as a saint in the Georgian Orthodox Church. During a military campaign led by the Sajid emir of Azerbaijan in 914, he commanded the defense of the Q'ueli fortress. Following a 28-day siege, the fortress fell, and Gobron was taken prisoner. He was eventually executed after refusing multiple opportunities to renounce his Christian faith in favor of Islam, choosing instead to face death as a martyr.
