Nun
Widowed in 1492, she took up the management of the duchy and raising children. When the children grew up, she decided to abandon worldly life and retired to the Mortana Monastery. Later, she brought some of these nuns with her to Arzhantan , and with the permission of the Pope of Rome founded the Clarissin Monastery [7] .
