Helena Ivanovna of Moscow (Russian: Елена Ивановна ; Lithuanian: "Elena" ; Polish: "Helena Moskiewska" ; 19 May 1476 – 20 January 1513) was daughter of Ivan III the Great, Grand Prince of Moscow, and an uncrowned Grand Duchess of Lithuania and Queen of Poland as she would not convert from Eastern Orthodoxy to Catholicism.
 Her childless marriage to Grand Duke of Lithuania and later King of Poland Alexander Jagiellon was a constant source of tension between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
 Instead of guaranteeing peace, Helena's marriage gave her father Ivan III an excuse to interfere in Lithuanian affairs accusing Alexander of mistreating Helena and repressing Orthodox believers.
 This became the pretext to renew the Muscovite–Lithuanian War in 1500.
 The war ended with a six-year truce in 1503; the Grand Duchy of Lithuania lost about a third of its territory.
 Despite political tensions and religious differences, the marriage was a loving one and the royal couple was close.
 After her husband's death in 1506, Helena wanted to return to Moscow but was not allowed.
 When she planned to run away, she was arrested and reportedly poisoned. Eustochium

 Born "Eustochium Julia" at Rome, she was the daughter of Saint Paula and is also venerated as a saint and was an early Desert Mother.
 She was the third of four daughters of the Roman Senator Toxotius, for whom Jerome made a lot of fanciful claims of ancestry.
 After the death of her husband (ca. 380) Paula and her daughter Eustochium lived in Rome as austere a life as the Fathers of the desert.
 Eustochium has three sisters, St. Blaesilla, Paulina, and Rufina, and a brother, Toxotius. Lyudmila Kasatkina

 Her husband Sergei Efron and her daughter Ariadna Efron (Alya) were arrested on espionage charges in 1941; and her husband was executed.

Anumarana or Anugamana refers to ancient Indian practice of Voluntary death by self-immolation by widowed Hindu women, some time after death of her husband.
 Anumarana was practiced usually by the widowed wives, when learnt of husband's death at battlefield or elsewhere and he had been already cremated.
 The widow then resolves to take away her life and immolated herself with husband's ashes or padukas or other such memento.
 The practice of Anumarana is mentioned in Kamasutra.
 In Mahabharata, we find mention of Anumarana practiced by widows of Kshatriyas on rare occasions.
 The practice has been described to be prevalent northern India and had existed before the Gupta empire.
 Interestingly, as per customs prevalent the Brahmin women were only permitted to die by "Sahamarana" and were not allowed the right of "anumarana"; however, non-Brahmin women could decide to immolate herself both by "sahamarana" or "anumarana" Anumarana was not comparable to later understandings of the practice of "sati", as in this widows did not self-immolate herself in funeral pyre of her husband.
 When a widow immolated herself with the husband's dead body, it was called "Sahamarana" or "Sahagamana"
