Demetrius II of Georgia was a Bagrationi monarch who ruled eastern Georgia from 1270 until 1289. Born in 1259 to King David VII, he ascended the throne at age eleven under a Mongol-appointed regent. His reign was characterized by his efforts to maintain stability within the Mongol Ilkhanate, which included participating in Mongol military campaigns and forming diplomatic marriages. Despite his loyalty to the Ilkhanate, he was eventually accused of conspiracy and executed by the Mongols, an event that led to his recognition as a saint.
