I got the Queen Katranide info from notes on a US photo exhibition on Armenian architecture - but I think the info originally came from the Armenian Queens book I mentioned.

Well Steve, I hope you didn't think I was contradicting what you said.. I suppose in a way I was because I read somewhere that her feet were NOT nailed together. From a paltry web-page! But I suppose It's always best to have first hand information because you know how full of it the Internet can be.
I don't know if you ever did go to that exhibition in lOndon you were telling me of a few months back. If so, what did you see?
Guys,
It's amazing stuff, I have read about her. It's amazing what some women in history have acheived, because they pushed themsleves to heights they would have probably never reached because of opression and no opportunity.
The thing which annoys me most is not only women arent represented enough in History, let alone Armenian women,
Of some thing "holy" or "motherly" they have done, not you real, hard-core tashnag stuff.
