Life

She was from the Khongirad tribe. It is not known when she met Ayurbarwada or his relation to any preceding empresses by blood. She gave birth to Shidibala on 22 February 1302. She became empress upon Ayurbarwada's elevation to throne in 1311. Her influence increased upon installment of Shidibala as the new crown prince but Dagi's influence strictly limited hers. She was created Empress Dowager in 1320 by his son, now Emperor Gegeen Khan. However, she soon died in 1322, around the very time Dagi fell from power as well. She was posthumously renamed Empress Zhuāngyìcí Shèng (Chinese: 庄懿慈圣皇后; lit. 'Sedate', 'beautiful', 'kind and holy empress') by Gegeen Khan and interred together with Ayurbarwada.[2]
