Mira Khatun Wansa,〔Journal of Royal Central Asian Society., 1941〕 ''Wansa Ismail el-Amawy''〔John S. Guest, ''The Yezidis: a study in survival'', pg. 8〕 or simply Wansa (born 1917 in Tikrit) was a Yazidi princess. In 1934–1938 she was the wife of Mir Sa'id Beg. Wansa was a daughter of Ismail Beg. Her brothers were Mua'wia,〔 Abd el-Karim and Yezid Khan. ==Biography== In 1929, she entered American School for Girls in Beirut. In 1934, she became the fifth wife of Sa'id Beg, son of Ali Beg and Meyan Khatun in the Stone Palace in Ba'adra.〔John S. Guest, ''The Yezidis: a study in survival'', pg. 175〕 Wansa gave birth to a daughter Leyla who died after one year.〔E. S. Drower, (''Peacock Angel'' )〕 In 1938, Said Beg attended a meeting where Wansa's brother Yezid Khan was accused of conspiracy and marked for death. When Said Beg informed Wansa, she pulled out a revolver from beneath her pillow and said "He will hear that you have died first!".〔John S. Guest, ''The Yezidis: a study in survival'', pg. 183〕 She fired multiple times, killing her husband. In the confusion Wansa's Armenian chauffeur Hagop assisted her to escape to Mosul and then to Baghdad, where a hiding place was found for her by Hagop's family, whom Wansa's father Ismail had rescued years before. Then she moved to Aleppo.〔John S. Guest, ''The Yezidis: a study in survival'', pg. 184〕 When The Second World War started, Rashid Ali al-Gaylani, who was a friend of Ismail, allowed Wansa to return to Baghdad and live under official protection.〔〔 In 1947, Wansa converted to Islam and married a Syrian doctor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wansa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
