Dawlat Khatun

Dawlat Khatun was the 12th ruler of the Khorshidi dynasty in Little Lorestan in Persia in 1316.

She was married to Izz al-Din Muhammad bin Izz al-Din. After the death of her spouse in 1316, she succeeded to the throne herself. However, she was reportedly a poor administrator 'who was not successful in managing the affairs of state',[1] and therefore abdicated in favour of her brother-in-law 'Izz al-Din Hasan.
