## Biography

He was a son of Prince [Beka I Jaqeli](/source/Beka_I_Jaqeli). During his father's reign Sargis participated in many campaigns. In 1290s Azat Mousa, leader of the Anatolian Turkoman tribes, attacked [Samtskhe](/source/Samtskhe_atabegate). [Beka Jaqeli](/source/Beka_I_Jaqeli) appointed Sargis as a commander of army and ordered him to stop Turks near village Vashlovani. Around 1303, Sargis [defeated Turkoman tribes](/source/Azat_Mousa's_invasion_of_Georgia) and expelled them from [Meskhetian](/source/Samtskhe) lands. In 1308, after his father's death, Sargis ascended the [Atabeg's](/source/Atabeg) throne. He was made *[Amirspasalar](/source/Amirspasalar)* and *[Atabeg](/source/Atabeg)* of the [Kingdom of Georgia](/source/Kingdom_of_Georgia) by his nephew, King [George V](/source/George_V_of_Georgia) "the Brilliant".[2] After Sargis II's death, his son [Qvarqvare](/source/Qvarqvare_I_Jaqeli) became a new Prince of Meskheti, also the vassal of [Georgian kingdom](/source/Kingdom_of_Georgia).

Paintings of the House of Jaqeli during the period show them wearing the *[caftan](/source/Caftan)* with *[tiraz](/source/Tiraz)* bands on the sleeves inscribed with [Kufic](/source/Kufic) letters.[3] Their caftan is decorated with the [cloud collars](/source/Cloud_collar) made of pearl embroidery, a design of Mongol Ilkhanate origin.[4] This is also the costume worn at the time by the courtiers at the Mongol court in [Tabriz](/source/Tabriz).[5]
