NECHTAN : in the 8th century, the Pictish King
Nechtan visited Papay and attempted to seduce a young woman
from the island named Triduana, who in response gouged her own
eyes out.
Nechtan was known as the King Philosopher. He abdicated in 724
and became a monk. Triduana became saint and chapel St. Tredwell
was build in Papay, the place of pilgrimage for many centuries.
It seems Nechtan and Triduana could be a nice couple, but the
King was pagan at that time. Triduana was a nun. It looks like
ugly sisters couldn't let it happen and helped Triduana a lot
in her eye's gouging out and presenting in to the King. Could
be a nice story for opera or big movie. we made wine about it
