Uljay Qutlugh Khatun (Persian: الجای قتلق خاتون; born 14 March 1297) (lit. "Queen Uljay Qutlugh), also Öljei Qutlugh, Oljai Kutlugh or Uljaki, was a Mongol princess, and Empress consort of the Ilkhanate as the principal wife of Abu Sa'id Bahadur Khan.
Uljay Qutlugh Khatun was born on 14 March 1297 at Shehraban.[1] She was the only daughter of Ghazan Khan. Her mother was Bulughan Khatun,[2] the daughter of Otman, and granddaughter of Obetay Nuyun of the Qonqirut tribe. Bulughan married Ghazan in October 1295, after both of them converted to Islam. Uljay had a younger full brother named Alju, who died in infancy.[3]
Marriages
Bistam
On 17 September 1303, Ghazan betrothed Uljay to Bistam,[4][5] the eldest son of Ghazan's younger brother Öljaitü Khan. The marriage took place on 12 January 1305,[6] when Uljay was seven.[7] By marrying Ghazan's only surviving child to his eldest son, Öljaitu wished to consolidate his position as well as his successor, as heir to Ghazan's legacy.[8]
Abu Sa'id
After Bistam's premature death, Uljay was betrothed to his younger brother Abu Saʿid,[9] at the time of the prince's departure to Khurasan. The marriage took place before his accession to the throne on 5 July 1317,[4] and Uljay became his chief and most beloved wife.[3]
Shushtar was allocated to the wages (mavajib) of Uljay Qutlugh.[10]
