Vakhtang also known as Almaskhan was a Georgian prince royal (batonishvili) of the Bagrationi dynasty, born to King Heraclius II and Queen Darejan Dadiani. He distinguished himself in the war with Iran in 1795 and was then active in opposition to his half-brother George XII and the newly established Russian administration in Georgia. In 1802 he surrendered to the Russian authorities and spent the rest of his life in Saint Petersburg, working on an overview of Georgia's history. In Russia he was known as the tsarevich Vakhtang Irakliyevich Gruzinsky.
