Ripsimia of Bulgaria, an Armenian Princess?

Legg inn av Chuck Owens » 20 jul 2007 17:30:11

According to FMG's Bulgaria web site:
http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BULGARIA.htm, Nikola Kumet's wife was
Ripsimia, an Armenian princess, daughter of Ashot II Bagratuni, King
of Armenia. I don't see where they listed a source for this
statement.

According to Adontz's "Samuel l'Armenien, roi des Bulgares" (1938),
she was Armenian but he doesn't mention that she was an Armenian
princess.

I'm skeptical that she was an Armenian princess on the basis that I've
been unable to find a source that confirms it and that if she was
Ashot II's daughter, we would have a Mamikonid connection to some
Western European royalty. Is there any evidence to indicate she was
the daughter of Ashot II, King of Armenia?
