Ezzat ed-Dowleh

Maleknesa Khanom (Persian: ملک‌نسا خانم), also known as Ezzat ed-Dowleh (عزت‌الدوله) or Malekzadeh Khanom (ملک‌زاده خانم) (1834 or 1835 – 27 June 1905),[1] was the daughter of Mohammad Shah Qajar and Malek Jahan Khanom Amirsoleimani, and a sister of Naser al-Din Shah Qajar.

[1] Ezzat ed-Dowleh was born in Kahnamu near Tabriz, north western Iran.

[3][4] The marriage ended after Amir Kabir was murdered on 10 January 1852.

Ezzat ed-Dowleh had two daughters by her first husband Amir Kabir: Taj ol-Molouk, a future consort of Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar, and Hamdam al-Molouk.
