Bêlit (Robert E. Howard)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the fictional universe of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, Bêlit is a pirate queen who has a romantic relationship with Conan. Her name may have been taken from Bel, god of thieves in her native land of Shem. She appears in Howard's Conan novelette "Queen of the Black Coast", first published in Weird Tales 23 5 (May 1934).

The character Valeria featured in the 1982 movie Conan the Barbarian borrowed some aspects of Howard's Bêlit, such as vowing to return from the dead to save Conan.
