Who was Tadj ol-Molouk of Iran?

Tadj ol-Molouk of Iran was Queen of Iran as the wife of Reza Shah, founder of the Pahlavi dynasty and Shah of Iran between 1915 and 1941. The title she was given after becoming queen means "Crown of the King" in the Persian language. She was the daughter of Brigadier General Teymūr Khan Ayromlou. Her family were Ayrums; a sub-ethnic group of Azerbaijanis from the Caucasus who arrived in Iran in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Soon after arriving in Iran, some Ayrums became Iranian generals, notably her first cousin General Muhammad-Husayn Ayrom, but most others were to settle as nobility. A few Ayrum women, namely herself and Noushafarin Ayromlou, were to become royalty.
