Alexander III (Georgian: ალექსანდრე III; 1609 – 1 March 1660), was a Georgian monarch of the Bagrationi dynasty, who reigned as king of Imereti in Western Georgia from 1639 to 1660.
Locked in power struggle with his regional rivals for several decades, Alexander allied himself with the Tsardom of Russia in order to gain an upper hand, but with little success.[1] Ultimately, Alexander was able to establish control over the entirety of Western Georgia on his own, restoring some of Imereti's lost prestige; however, this consolidation proved relatively short lived. By the time of Alexander death in 1660, Western Georgia had reverted back to the state of internal struggles and instability,[2] which had become characteristic of Georgia as a whole following the collapse of the Georgian realm.
