Teresa Sampsonia [SEP] Introduction
Following the death of her husband from dysentery in 1628, and due to impediments from grandees at the court, and the authorities, during the reign of Abbas's successor and grandson Safi (1629–1642), Teresa decided to leave Iran. She lived in a convent in Rome for the rest of her life, devoting her time to charity and religion. As a pious Christian, and because of her love for her husband, Teresa had Shirley's remains transported to Rome from Isfahan and reburied; on the headstone of their mutual grave she mentions their travels and refers to her noble Circassian origins. Thanks to her exploits, Teresa has been described by Bernadette Andrea as someone who subverted patriarchal gender roles common to the Muslim and Christian cultures of her time.
