Solomon I's accession to the throne of Imereti was preceded by almost a century of unrest in the kingdom of Imereti. The Ottoman garrisons stationed in the Imereti castles, the Ottoman tribute, the rivalry between the king and the princes-nobles, the slave-trading, the intrigues of those seeking the throne, the weakened church plunged the country into anarchy.
