She was elevated on the throne of Persia some time after the death of her brother Sheiroya 631 A. D. We are told by Persian historians that this queen restored the sacred cross, which had been borne away from Jeru- salem by Khusro Parweiz : and by that act, acquired great power with the Eoman emperor. But this is evi- dently erroneous : for there is no doubt that the emperor Heraclius, when he returned from Persia, carried that precious relic to Constantinople, which was deemed a more splendid trophy of victory, than all his spoils and conquests. Turandukht ruled Persia only one year and four months. She was succeeded by her cousin and lover Shah Shananda. He had reigned only one month when he was deposed, and 'Azarm or Arzamfdukht, another daughter of Khusro Parweiz was raised to the throne 632 A. D. This princess, who was alike distinguished by her sense and beauty, resolved to take the whole management of the affairs of the kingdom into her hands. She would not even 'appoint a waz'ir. But the fatal passion of a Persian noble defeated all her designs. Farrukh Hurmuz the governor of Khurasan, fell violently in love with her, or perhaps, with her dominions. He proceeded to court and made his love known to his royal mistress ; she refused her hand, and he was soon after murdered through her instigation. As soon as his melan- choly fate was known to his son Eustam, he collected a large army, and marched from Khurasan to Madain. The queen was unable to oppose him ; and the young chief revenged his father by putting her to a cruel death. After her demise, Farrukhzad the son of Khusro Parweiz by a female singer of Isfahan was raised to the throne, but before he had reigned a month, his days were termina- ted by poison. Such were the events which immediately preceded the reign of Yezdijard III, and the fall of the Persian monarchy. Tauran Shah, ^bf^j surnamed Mulik-ul-Muazzim, was the brother of the famous Salah-uddfn who had ap- pointed him as his lieutenant in Damascus. He died at Alexandria on the 1st of July, 1180 A. D., 5th Safar, 576 A. H. Tauran Shah, K h w a j a, uby ^'^L?^, surnamed Jalal-uddfn, was wazir of Shah Shujaa ruler of Shiraz, and died on the 3rd of April, 1385 A. D. Tausi Maulana, ^'^^■^ '^^^) apoet of Khurasan who flourished in the reign of Babar Sultan, after whose death, he went over to Azurbeijan in the time of Jahan Shah, and died there 1487 A. D., 892 A. H. Tauti Eegam, ts-'y > one of the wives of the emperor Akbar. She had built a garden in Agrah called Tota Bagh ; there is also a tank in Agrah which is called Tota ka Tal. Tauti, Maulana, iSji^y of Tarshish, a learned IWusalman and a good poet. He flourished in the time of Babar Sultan and died at Hirat in the year 1462 A. D., 866 A. H. As Tuti means in Persian a parrot, consequently Amir 'Alisheir found the year of his death to be contained in the word " Khurus," which means a cock.
