Biography
Abdullah-Beg (Archil) was the eldest son of Ali Kuli Khan (1680–1727), the Muslim king of Kartli (1714–1716, 1724–1727) from his first marriage with Mariam, born Princess Orbeliani .
Abdullah-Beg, who converted to Islam [1] , was appointed by the Iranian Shah Nadir, the head of the kingdom of Kartli in 1736-1737. In 1744, the king of Kakheti, Teimuraz II, was appointed Nadir Shah as king of Kartli, and his son and heir, Irakli II , was appointed as king of Kakheti . Teimuraz II transferred to the possession of Abdullah-Beg the areas of Somkhiti and Sabaratiano ( Kvemo-Kartli ) with a residence in Samshvilde . In 1747, Teimuraz II went to Iran , leaving his son Heraclius II as his deputy in Kartli , and Abdullah-Beg was appointed his deputy.
