Bayan Khutugh

Bayan Khutugh (1324–1365), also Bayan Qudu (; Pai-yen Hu-tu; Mongolian script: ᠪᠠᠶᠠᠨᠬᠤᠲᠤᠭ), was an empress consort of the Yuan dynasty as the second wife of Toghon Temür (Emperor Huizong). Her father was Bolod Temür. According to the History of Yuan, Bayan Qudu was known for being "frugal, unjealous, and thoroughly observant of ritual and regulation," which was a sharp contrast to the character and nature of the emperor's favourite concubine, Lady Ki (later known as Öljei Quduq). Marriage In July 1335, Toghon Temür's first empress, Danashiri, daughter of the prime minister El Temür, was deposed and later sentenced to death by hanging in Dadu for her involvement in the failed rebellion led by her brother, Tanggici (T’ang Chi’i-shih).
