Conan the Barbarian: Conan\'s Mother (Nadiuska)

Comments for death : Conan the Barbarian: Conan\'s Mother (Nadiuska).

Personally I think that she wanted revenge on Thulsa Doom for causing the death of her husband and thus allowed herself to be killed. If she didn't Conan would've likely died too in the ensuing swordfight. Thus if she died taking it lying down and Conan got sold into slavery he would live long enough to doom Doom (lol).

the reason so much respect is afforded her is the fact she has killed numurous Vanirs as you can tell from the blood on her sword. In an interview John Milius explains that he had shot a scene that had shown her as a magnificent fighter, defending young Conan with Cimmerian fury

supposedly he had hypnotic pwers and when he stared at her he made her lower his sword and then did his dasturdly deed in decapitating her.

Verina is not Conan's mother's correct name. The movie does not give her name nor Conan's father's. However, the book of the movie by De Camp and Carter give both names on page 6 + 7. Conan's father is "Nial" and his mother is "Maeve".
