Global InformationSalome of Ujarma information
Salome (Armenian: Սալոմե, Georgian: სალომე; born sometime after 297, died about 361) was an Armenian princess[1][2] from the Arsacid dynasty who was married into the Chosroid Dynasty of Iberia.[3] She was a daughter of King Tiridates III of Armenia and Queen Ashkhen. She is known from the early medieval Georgian chronicle Life of Kings.[4] In Georgian tradition, she is referred to as Salome of Ujarma (სალომე უჯარმელი, salome ujarmeli)[5][6][7] after a castle where she is credited to have erected a cross. She has been canonized by the Armenian[citation needed] and Georgian churches. Local canonisations are recognised throughout the Orthodox Church.
According to the genealogical reconstructions, Salome had a brother called Khosrov III and an unnamed sister who married St. Husik I, one of the earlier Catholicoi of the Armenian Apostolic Church.[citation needed]
