Her father and uncle were beheaded during Battle of Wujieyan, part of Nurhachi 's war to conquer the Jurchen tribes.

Wanli era

The exact date of birth of Lady Ula Nara is unknown. Her father died in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.

It is unknown whether Lady Nara became Huang Taiji 's wife afterwards due to the defeat of the Ula tribe.[3] [4]

In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli era (1609), on March 13, she gave birth to his eldest son, Hooge. In the thirty-ninth year of Wanli, she gave birth his second son, who would die prematurely in 1621. On 3 April 1621, she gave birth to his eldest daughter, Princess Aohan of the First Rank.[5]
