| Hi:
|
| Queen Alexandra (For Love of a King, Doubleday (1956), P13) writing of her
| mother's ancestors "They could trace their descent from the Greek
Byzantine
| Emperors and were linked with the noblest families of Venetia and Greece"
|
| Does anyone have the line back from her mother, Aspasia Manos?
|
| If so, could you e-mail me a sketch?
|
| Also, Ketevan, the Martyred mother of Teimouraz ("They [Shah Abbas]
crucified
| her on a tree, and tortured her with red-hot pincers. They placed a
red-hot
| iron kettle upon her head. Thick smoke arose from her burning hair and
head,
| and the Blessed Martyr gave up her holy soul to God On September 13,
1624") -
| was she married just one time, or more than once - to Vakhtang? to
David/Davit?
| Ketevan herself descends of Emperor Alexios I per my charts. I'm thinking
she
| and Queen Alexandra were cousins.
|
| Thanks,
|

Dave,
Have you ever gotten a response to the Manos question? I have it, but not
to hand.
