Vakhtang II (Georgian: ვახტანგ II; died 1292), of the dynasty of Bagrationi, was king (mepe) of the Kingdom of Eastern Georgia from 1289 to 1292. After the execution of Demetrius II of Georgia, Vakhtang was appointed king by Arghun on the advice of Khutlubuga, with the expectation that this would unify Georgia under Mongol rule. Vakhtang firmly assumed control of the kingdom and did not allow Khutlubuga to act arbitrarily, which led to hostility between them. Khutlubuga then opposed Vakhtang by supporting Demetrius II’s son, David, but this effort was unsuccessful. Read more on Wikipedia
