Vakhtang VI of Kartli
Erekle was a son of Constantine I, Prince of Mukhrani, by his wife Darejan Abashidze. He was involved in internecine fighting which followed the forced detention of Vakhtang VI of Kartli in Safavid Iran. Eventually, Erekle was dispossessed of his offices and blinded at the order of Vakhtang's son Prince Bakar. Mukhrani was turned over to Erekle's relative, Levan.
