Taj Khatoon

Taj Khatoon (also spelt Khatun; born Sayyida Taj Baihaqi; –1468) was the Empress consort of Kashmir as the wife of Sultan Zayn al-Abidin. She was the daughter of Sayyid Muhammad Baihaqi, a leading noble of the Kashmir Sultanate who helped Zayn al-Abidin ascend the throne in the Civil War of 1419–1420.

During the reign of her husband, Taj Khatoon was a patron of education. She donated her valuable necklace to Madrasat-ul Ulum, a school founded by Zayn al-Abidin in Sialkot.
