Balendukht

Balendukht or Balendokht (Georgian: ბალენდუხტი) was a Sasanian princess and Queen of Iberia. She was the daughter of Sasanian shah (king) Hormizd III. During her youth, she married Vakhtang I, the ruler of Iberia, with whom she had one child named Dachi. Balendukht, however, died of childbirth when the latter and his twin-sister were born. The etymology of the name is unclear. It may have been a corrupted from *Šāhēnduxt.[1]

gollark: Telling people that they should support some sort of equality thing because, in a thought experiment, they would be randomly assigned whatever attributes, does not seem like it would work.
gollark: Given that people already exist who are *not* in some randomly assigned position, I don't see how you can use the veil of ignorance thing for much beyond just evaluating some details about how good a society is.
