**Ivane II Jaqeli** ([Georgian](/source/Georgian_language): ივანე II ჯაყელი) (1370 – 1444) was a Georgian [prince](/source/Prince) (*[mtavari](/source/Mtavari)*) and longest-reigning [Atabeg](/source/Atabeg) of [Samtskhe](/source/Samtskhe-Saatabago) from 1391 to 1444. His father was [Beka II](/source/Beka_II_Jaqeli), the great-grandson of [Beka I Jaqeli](/source/Beka_I_Jaqeli). In 1395, after [Aghbugha I's](/source/Aghbugha_I_Jaqeli) death Ivane took an absolute power. Ivane was an energetic ruler. In 1390s he was fighting against [Tamerlane](/source/Timur) to defend [Meskhetian](/source/Samtskhe) lands, but in 1400 economically weakened Ivane surrendered to the Turco-Mongolian forces. In early 1410s Ivane created separatist factions against [Bagrationi dynasty](/source/Bagrationi_dynasty). He wanted to gain independence for the Meskhetian church, but faced opposition of Georgian clergy.[1] In 1414 King [Alexander I](/source/Alexander_I_of_Georgia) had defeated Ivane II at the battle of Aspindza. Atabeg was captured by royal servants. By the order of King he committed the oath of allegiance and returned to his throne. In his last years elderly Ivane had left most of the powers of Principality in the hands of his two sons, [Aghbugha](/source/Aghbugha_II_Jaqeli) and [Qvarqvare](/source/Qvarqvare_II_Jaqeli).
