Danashri

Empress Danashiri (Chinese：答纳失里皇后, 1320 - 1335) was an Empress consort of the Yuan dynasty, married to Toghon Temür.

She was the daughter of El Temür, the prime minister during the first years of her husband's name. She had one son, Maha, but he died because of Measles when he was still an infant. She came to be in conflict with the emperor for his infatuation with his concubine, Empress Gi, whom she often ordered to be beaten.[1]

Danashiri was implicated in the failed rebellion of her brother, Tangqishi, whom she attempted to protect from being executed.[2] She was exiled[3] for trying to defend her brother and later forced to drink poison.

gollark: Here's a "helpful" illustration.
gollark: Consider the scenario: there are two boxes before you. One of the boxes (let us call it "A") is transparent and contains £10000, which you can see. The other box ("B") is opaque. It contains £1000000 if and only if the entity running this weird scenario predicted (beforehand) that you'll take box B and not box A. Historically, it has been right the vast majority of the time about this. Your options are to take both boxes, or just to take B. What do?!
gollark: Anyway, while I exist, Newcomb's paradox is a fun if not particularly related problem in decision theory.
gollark: When have I *ever* said false things?
gollark: I don't believe in beds.
