Khazen al-Dawlah

Khazen al-Dawlah (Persian: خازن‌الدوله) (19th-century) was a consort of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, the fourth shah of Iran, (r. 1848–1896).^[1]

She was a maid servant of the Shah's mother Malek Jahan Khanom. When the Shah's mother died in 1873, he married Gulbadan Khanom so she could take over his mother's task to function as the administrator of the harem and the treasurer of the Shah, and was thus given the new name and title Khazen al-Dawlah.
