Empress Dowager Gwidh
The Empress Dowager Gwidh (惠帝太后, gwidh-tegh-ladh-goh; Jan. 5, 1868 – Mar. 3, 1955) was empress-consort to Emperor Grui of Themiclesia. She was the eldest granddaughter of the Lord of Krungh, prime minister from 1894 to 1910, marrying the future emperor when he was crown prince, in 1889. Like her grandfather and father, she was an ardent Conservative and was a powerful influence at Grui's court; however, as regent for Emperor Hen between 1923 and 1931, she confined her political opinions to the royal family and maintain impartiality by appointing prime ministers according to Parliamentary politics. For this reason she is remembered positively in Themiclesian histories. During Hen's first two decades on the throne, she remained powerful, and the emperor never openly contradicted her. She died at her seat, Gweng-l′junh Palace, in 1955.
