george ii of georgia

george ii -lrb- , `` giorgi ii '' -rrb- -lrb- 1054 -- 1112 -rrb- , of the bagrationi dynasty , was a king of georgia from 1072 to 1089 .
he was a son and successor of bagrat iv and his wife borena of alania .
unable to deal effectively with the constant seljuk turkish attacks and overwhelmed by internal problems in his kingdom , george was forced to abdicate in favor of his energetic son , david iv , to whom he remained a nominal co-ruler until his death in 1112 .
he also held the high byzantine titles of `` curopalates '' -lrb- c. 1060 -rrb- and `` caesar '' -lrb- c. 1081 -rrb- .
