Maryam al-Daulah

Maryam al-Daulah (lit. 'Mary of the Dynasty'; died in September 828) was a royal consort of Ehsan Khan, 2nd King of the Assalamia empire, as well as mother of his successor, Jibumih, 3rd King of the Assalamia empire. As the king's mother, she was granted the title "Maryam al-Daulah".

Life
Rare records about her, her life details were mostly unknown.

In folk stories in Tokastan, a love legend between King Ehsan Khan and a village girl Yanakk was described, in which Yanakk's son became the king finally, so many historians predicted this legend was based on life of Maryam al-Daulah, and according to this theory, Maryam al-Daulah was born in Tokastan as a libero. Nevertheless, she was recorded, in some unofficial documents, as a slave concubine from Persia, Caucasia or Northern India.

Her title and status in Ehsan's harem were unknown, but that said in Tokastani folk stories she was the chief queen was fake as it was very clear that Ehsan's chief consort was Taj al-Malika. Her status should not be so low based on the fact that her son Jibumih was confirmed as the heir-apparent.

When Jibumih came to the throne, she was given the title "Maryam al-Daulah" as mother of the king and first lady of the empire, surpassing Taj al-Malika. In offcial occasions, she was the first to salute by the king. Outliving her son, she witnessed her son's suicide and grandson's coronation, but no any information about her life during her grandson's reign.

The official chronicle of the Assalamia empire mentioned her death and a grand funeral in September 828.
