Borchaly sultanate

Borchaly sultanate — was a feudal state that existed until the middle of the 18th century on the territory of the historical region of Borchaly.

History

According to the Georgian Soviet Encyclopedia, at the beginning of the 17th century, during the rule of Shah Abbas I, the Turkic tribe Borchalu migrated to Debed Valley, which gave its name to the region Borchaly. In 1604 the Borchaly khanate was established here. In the 1750s, Kartli Teymuraz II took over the Sultanate of Borchaly, and in 1765 the king of Kartli-Kakheti, Irakli II, transformed the sultanate into a prefecture. By the beginning of the 19th century, the sultanate was completely dissolved and became part of the Russian Empire.
