Descriptions by Michele Membré
[edit]- "Michele Membré, who glimpsed Shahzada Sultanum on an outing with other ladies, and assumed it was a regular feature of the Safavid court: “After more than half of the urdū [army] has gone by, the Shah’s maidens pass on fine horses; and they ride like men and dress like men, except that on their heads they do not wear caps but white kerchiefs … And I have seen that there were about 14–15 of those maidens, and they were beautiful, though their faces could not be fully seen. But what could be seen was beautiful and very fair. And sometimes they galloped and performed marvels with their horses, making them jump and do many other skillful tricks.”" in Ze'evi, Dror (2024). Queens around the world, 1520-1620: a century of female power. Palgrave Macmillan. p. 105. ISBN 978-3031586330. Dror Ze'evi is Professor Emeritus of social and cultural Middle Eastern history at Ben Gurion University. Pataliputra! (talk) 06:41, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
