The Eyalet of Tiflis was taken from Kartli in 1578/9, but the country proved difficult to subdue: Tiflis was lost in 1583, the Ottomans then lost the whole land except for Lori and Gori, and both were made eyalets in place of Tiflis, but were later lost in 1590 and 1599 respectively.[1] The Eyalet of Kakheti was nominally an eyalet in 1578, when King Alexander was made a beylerbeyi of his own kingdom.[1] The Eyalet of Shirvan existed from 1578 to 1604, it had previously been an Ottoman vassal for some years after 1533.[1] The Eyalet of Dagestan was conquered in 1578 and remained an eyalet until the beginning of the next century.[1] The Eyalet of Saruhan was an eyalet of the Ottoman Empire from 1845 to 1847.[citation needed] The Eyalet of Sigetvar (Turkish: Sigetvar Eyaleti;[2] Hungarian: Szigetvári vilájet; Croatian: Sigetvarski vilajet) was formed in c. 1596 and existed until 1600. It included parts of present-day Hungary and Croatia.
