Khosrovidukht (Armenian: Խոսրովիդուխտ) was an hymnographer and poet who lived during the 8th century. One of the earliest known women musicians, she is recorded as having been a member of the royal family, but here accounts differ as to her historical importance. Some sources hold that in the 8th-century, her brother was abducted by Muslim Arabs; following this, she was taken to the fortress of Ani-Kamakh, now known as Kemah, where she lived in isolation for twenty years. <a href="https://www.la
