Talk:County of Armagnac

The Herodian link to the Kingdom of Cilicia[edit]

The similarity of the name Armenhac and that of Armenia as well as the remarkable similarity in heraldry with Armenian Cilicia is not accidental and dates to family links of Herod Antipas and Herodias who were exiled here in Comminges (cf Commagenes) by Caligula in 39 AD. We know that a daughter of Herodian King of Greater Armenia, Tigranes v, married Pharasmenes i, King of (Anatolian) Iberia. We also know that Roman client King of Armenia, Tigranes vi, who renounced his Judaic Herodian heritage in favour of Zoroastrianism, was favoured by Nero prior to the Roman-Judaean War - his son, Alexander, being married before Nero in Rome to Commagene Princess Julia Iotapa (daughter of an incestuous royal union) as client King and Queen of Cilician Cetis. It would also be remiss of me to elide the Morgan of "Brittany" (Gaul) suzerain to Armenye Lord Rivalen (of Lyoness / Leonois) in the old tales of Tristan and Isolde. 121.209.192.48 (talk) 09:45, 25 November 2011 (UTC) Ian Ison[reply]
