==Career== Karl Heinrich von Knorring was born into the Knorring family, which belonged to the Baltic German nobility.

He played an important role in the incorporation of Eastern Georgia (Kartli-Kakheti) into the Russian Empire. He was dismissed as a result of being unable to make the area stable, as well as the corruption of his appointed officials.
