Aycemnik
In the 12th century, due to the death of the Georgian king David the Builder, the rich Armenian city of Ani was under the threat of being captured by Persian troops under the leadership of Fadlun. The people of Ani selflessly defended the walls of their hometown, men and women included.
According to Samuel Anetsi, a historian that lived during that war, the beautiful Aycemnik, one of the Armenian military leaders, distinguished herself in the battles. Among the Persians, she was considered a symbol of death, due to her ferocity in battle.
Aycemnik became an inspiring symbol in the bloody war of the Armenians against a superior enemy. Her heroism bore good results - the city was defended. Unfortunately, as it often happens - selflessness led to death - Acemnik fell in battle, remaining an inspiration to her compatriots until the foe was defeated.
