About Keran 'Theophania' of Lampron Queen-Consort of Armenia
Lady Anna of Lampron, known as Keran of Lampron (before 1262 – 28 July 1285)
Born Anna, she was called Kir-Anna (meaning Lady Anna) after her husband took the throne, which was later shortened to Keran, or sometimes written Guerane, and after the birth of her last son Keran became a nun and entered the Monastery of Trazarg assuming the name of Theophania.
She was a by-birth member of the House of Lampron and by marriage Queen-Consort of Armenia. She was the daughter of Prince Hethum of Lampron by his unknown wife, who probably was from Frankish origin. She had three known siblings: Marianne, Alix (later wife of Balian d'Ibelin, Seneschal of Cyprus), and Raymond Lord of Michael'gla. Before 15 January 1262/14, Keran married Prince Leo of Armenia (eldest son and heir of King Hethum I) who became King after his father's abdication in 1270. Many words of praise were made about Queen Keran by her contemporaries. Her son Hethum claimed that "she had a wonderful soul and a beautiful body." The chronicler and scribe Avetis described her as "a good friend to her husband in trouble and joy." She died on 28 July 1285 and was buried in the Monastery.
