Luarsab II of Kartli was a Georgian monarch of the Bagrationi dynasty who ruled the kingdom of Kartli between 1606 and 1615. Born in Shiraz, he ascended to the throne at the age of fourteen following the death of his father. His reign was marked by intense pressure from the Persian and Ottoman empires. To prevent the total destruction of his realm, he eventually surrendered to the Persian Shah Abbas I, leading to his imprisonment and eventual death in captivity.
