Ashi Tsundue was the queen consort of Ugyen Wangchuck, the first King of Bhutan. She played a significant role in the early years of the Wangchuck dynasty and the consolidation of the monarchy.
Overview
King Ugyen Wangchuck (1862–1926), the first hereditary monarch of Bhutan, had multiple queens consort. Information about the queens of the early Wangchuck dynasty is less extensively documented in publicly available English-language sources than information about the kings themselves.[1]
Royal Family Legacy
The Wangchuck dynasty, founded at Punakha Dzong on 17 December 1907, has produced five kings to date. The royal family's lineage traces from Ugyen Wangchuck through his son Jigme Wangchuck (Second King) and continues to the current Fifth King, Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, and Queen Jetsun Pema.[2]
Detailed biographical information about the queens consort of the First King is limited in published English-language sources. BhutanWiki encourages scholars and community members with knowledge of the early royal family history to contribute to this article.
