Narchat, Narchatka, Naricha [1] (Moksha: Нарчат, Нарчатка, Нарича, romanized: Narchat, Narchatka, Naricha) was a Moksha Queen,[4] ruler of Mukhsha Ulus. She was daughter and successor of king Puresh and sister of Atämaz.
Historical personality
[edit]Russian professor from Penza State Pedagogical University Vitaliy Lebedev wrote:
All legends of Narchat mention that there was a battle of local population with Tatar-Mongols. The battle took place in winter time <...> Almost in all legends she is known as Mordvin Queen and in two as Burtass
— Vitaliy Lebedev, Лебедев В. И. Загадочный город Мохши[4]
Doctor of Sciences Dmitriy Madurov of Chuvash state Institute of Humanities writes:
She might be only Moksha. First she was daughter of king Puresh, second war was waged in Mokshaland, third other ethnic groups are known they might have had a female as the head of state but not the army[5]
Indeed, it is known the Burtas had been ruled by elders.[6]
Narchat in coinage
[edit]Ethnographer Vladimir Aunovsky wrote that he encountered coins with Narchatka portrait in traditional Moksha woman's headdress and they say: "This is our queen".[7] These coins are called mordovkas in slang, or silver coins type A as they are described by Bogdan Zaikovsky with inscription in Moksha language in Greek Uncial script (Moksha: μοΛͷ ΑΗςͷ οκΑΗ ΠεΛκͷ 'goes only for half Oka (gold coin name)') and might be dated as 4-8th century AD.[8] Triangle coins, pre-Mongolian silver Valfs, 22x23 mm size, with a depiction of a woman in a headdress» are described by Vyacheslav Zavaryukhin as he specifies they should be referred to as Mukhsha coinage according to the Christian Frähn's list.[9]
