Ioveta
- ... that the Latin princess Ioveta was about four years old when her mother, Queen Morphia, surrendered her to the Turks as debt payment security? Source: "... and hostages were to be deposited at Shaizar for the payment of the remainder ... For hostages Timurtash demanded the King's youngest child, the four-year old Princess Joveta ..." (Runciman, p. 171)

- Comment: I would appreciate it if this hook could be promoted alongside the (soon to be created) Convent of Saint Lazarus hook. I opted against a double hook because I liked the hook nominated here as well.
5x expanded by Surtsicna (talk). Self-nominated at 16:32, 12 November 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Ioveta; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Perhaps it would be better to specify who the debt was owed to rather than using the generic "the Turks". Something like:
- ALT1: ... that the Latin princess Ioveta was about four years old when her mother, Queen Morphia, surrendered her to Timurtash, the ruler of Aleppo, as collateral for a debt payment?
Other than that everything checks out (one source says "four or five" years old, but I think "about four years old" covers that).
