Family background
- Father: Bokdo (博克多; d. 1607); held the title of beile (貝勒)
- Grandfather: Buyan (布延; 1554–1603); founder of the Ula state
Wanli era
The exact date of Lady Ula-Nara's birth is unknown.
Her father and uncle were beheaded during the Battle of Wujieyan, which was part of Nurhaci's wars of unification. She probably became Hong Taiji's wife afterward.[1][2]
In 1609, Lady Ula-Nara gave birth to Hong Taiji's eldest son, Hooge, followed in 1611 by his second son, Loge, and in 1621 by his eldest daughter, Princess Aohan of the First Rank.[3]
The date of her death is unknown, though she most likely passed away before Hong Taiji inherited the Later Jin throne in 1926.[4] She wasn't posthumously honored as empress.
At some later point, Lady Ula-Nara gained the unofficial title "Consort Ji" (繼妃; lit. ''Step/Successor Consort'') in order to differentiate her from her husband's other wives.
