'''Sukhumala Marasri''' ({{langx|th|สุขุมาลมารศรี}}, {{RTGS|''Sukhumanmarasi''}}, {{IAST|Sukhumālmāraśrī}}; 10 May 1861 – 9 July 1927) was a daughter of King [[Mongkut]] (Rama IV) and his concubine, Samli (เจ้าคุณจอมมารดาสำลี). Her given name was Her Royal Highness Princess Sukhumala Marasri (พระเจ้าลูกเธอ พระองค์เจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี). She was later became the consort of her half-brother, King [[Chulalongkorn]] (Rama V). During the reign King [[Prajadhipok]] (Rama VII), she was given the title '''Her Majesty Queen Sukhumala Marasri The Queen Aunt .''' |

Queen '''Sukumalmarsri''' ([[Thai alphabet|Thai]]:สมเด็จพระนางเจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี พระอัครราชเทวี) ([[10 May]] [[1861]]-[[9 July]] [[1927]]) was a daughter of King [[Mongkut]] (Rama IV) and Chao Chom Manda Samli (เจ้าจอมมารดาสำลี). Her given name is Princess Sukumalmarsri (พระองค์เจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี). She was the third senior of the four queen consorts of King [[Chulalongkorn]] (Rama V). |

==Early |
==Early life== |
||
Sukumalmasri was the third child and the second daughter of Samli, the High Consort of King [[Mongkut]], her famous full-younger sister was Princess Napaporn, the first Siam Woman whose serve as Commander. |
|||
Sukumala was born in Royal [[Grand Palace, Bangkok|Grand Palace]] on 10 May 1861. She was the 52nd child of King Mongkut. Her mother was consort Samli. She had 5 full siblings, including the famous Princess Napaborn, and from her father's side, she was a half-sister to King Chulalongkorn (later her husband), Queens [[Sunanda Kumariratana]], [[Savang Vadhana]], and [[Saovabha Phongsri]]. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
The Princess was born in [[Grand Palace, Bangkok|Grand Palace]] and was named '''Sukumalmarsri''' by her father, with the name, her father also give her the greet-he wish his daughter to be happiness all of her life and get the perfect son, in fact her son, Baribathra, did. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
| ⚫ | |||
Sometime in her teenage years, Sukhumala became a royal wife to King Chulalongkorn. The marriage produced two children; Princess [[Suddha Dibyaratana]] (later the Princess of Ratanakosin), who was also the first surviving Chao-Fah, a child of the sovereign which their mother is the Queen Consort or a Princess by blood, and Prince [[Paribatra Sukhumbandhu]] (later the Prince of Nakorn Sawan.) During her husband's reign, she served as the King's secretary and was referred to as "the [[Princess Consort]]". |
|||
After her husband died, she moved to her son's palace, [[Bang Khun Phrom Palace|Bang Khun Phrom]]. During the reign of King [[Vajiravudh]], her nephew, he officially named her as his father's fourth queen consort, making her official title [[Majesty|Her Majesty]] [[Queen consort|Queen]] Sukhumala. When [[Prajadhipok]] succeeded to the throne, he gave his father's two surviving queens consort, Savang Vadhana and Sukhumala, the title of "the Queen Aunt". In the same style, Sukhumala was preceded by Savang Vadhana, reflecting the fact that Savang Vadhana was created queen consort by Chulalongkorn before Sukhumala. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
At the age of 17 Sukumalmarsri was married to His Majesty King Chulalongkorn, her older half-brother. She gave birth to HRH Princess Sutatipyaratana, the Princess of Ratanakosin, who was the second born but first surviving Chao-fah<ref>the children of a monarch whose mother was queen or the Thai royal princess, a higher rank than the children of a monarch whose mother was not royal</ref>. It has been said that if Sutatip had been born male, she would have inherited the title of Crown Prince. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
However, in the time of her husband's reign she was not styled [[Queen Consort|Queen]] of Siam, but as the [[Princess Consort]]. Some have said that was because her mother, the High Consort Samli, was a member of the Bunnak family. Bunnak was the most powerful family in Siam after the Royal Family, and was referred to as "the King maker" because [[Rama III]], [[Rama IV]] and [[Pinklao]] all succeeded to the throne because their support. Chulalongkorn was not supported by the family, but his [[Vice-King]], George Ging Yod, was. The title of Vice-King was almost equivalent to the king of Siam<ref>But no one since Pin Kloa had been named the second King</ref> and also the heir apparent to the throne. As the closest male relative of the monarch inherits the title, almost Vice-Kings were their full younger brothers or the eldest sons born to their Queens, however, it was no really rule for this, the King free to created someone his Vice-King. George was a cousin but Chulalongkorn had two full younger brothers and another brother who his mother was an aunt to the king (they were styled Chao-fah)<ref>and have at least 20 younger half brother whose style Phra Ong Chao at that time, but no son recently</ref> The Bunnak supported George to succeed to the title of Vice King against custom. Chulalongkorn was at that time only 16 and powerless to prevent this occurring. This created enmity between Chulalongkorn and the Bunnak. So Sukumalmarsri, even though she was the beloved wife of Chulalongkorn, was not styled Queen, to prevent the Bunnak claim to the power.<ref>Like the Situation of [[Jane Seymour]] Queen to Henry VIII after she was crowned Queen her brother claim to the power.</ref> Prince [[Chula Chakrabongse]], Sukumal's grand nephew, noted in his book, Chao-Chee-Wit, how surprised he was that while he knew Sukumal was the great love to his Grand Father, she had no title greater than simply Princess.<ref>As a daughter of Siam monarch, Sukumal was Princess in her own right, she was to receive the title Princess Consort from her husband, not the Queen.</ref> |
|||
Queen Consort Sukhumala Marasri died on 9 July 1927 at the age of 66 at the Bang Khun Phrom Palace (H.R.H. Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu Palace). Her only surviving child, Prince [[Paribatra Sukhumbandhu]], and her younger full sister, Princess Napaborn, were at her bedside. |
|||
Because of the Siam law of succession [[Salic Law]], Sutathip, the eldest Chao Fah could not succeed to the throne. However, Chulalongkorn wished to marry his eldest Chao Fah son and heir, Crown Prince Vajirunhis, to Suttathip.<ref>Again, like the situation of King [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]] wishes to married his illegitimate son, [[Henry FitzRoy, 1st Duke of Richmond and Somerset]], to his eldest legitimate eldest daughter the later Queen [[Mary I of England]] to make their right to succesed the throne.</ref> Had Vajirunhis was not passed away before the King, Sutathip would have become Queen of Siam and so Sukumal would have been styled as the "Queen Mother". |
|||
==Aftermath== |
|||
Sukumalmarsri was to receive the title Queen by her nephew, Rama VI, but her Thai title didn't change until the Reign of Rama VII when she was styled "สมเด็จพระปิตุจฉาเจ้าสุขุมาลมารศรี พระอัครราชเทวี" which means "The Queen who was the King's aunt", unlike her younger half sister, the Queen Grandmother. At that time both Queen's titles were translated as "Queen Aunt", although they differ in Thai and Sukumalmarsri was ranked below Sawangwaddhana.<ref>In the case because she was the sister to his mother, [[Savang Vadhana]], and also be consort to his father, as she was the mother of his Queen, she right to held the title Queen Mother like Chinese tradition see Empress Dowager Cixi.</ref> |
|||
In her memory, one district was named "Rajdevi" after Sukumala. |
|||
When Prahadhipok abdicated and was succeeded by his nephew, [[Ananda Mahidol]] 1935, Sukumala was no longer aunt to the new king, thus she was simply referred to as Her Majesty Queen Sukumala Marasri. Unlike her younger-half sister, Savang Vadhana, who was created "the Queen Grandmother". |
|||
==Died== |
|||
She died at the age 66 on [[9 July]] [[1927]] at the Grand Palace, the place where she was born, her only surviving child and only son, Baribathra, and her full-younger sister, Napaporn, was at her bed side. |
|||
Her son, Prince Paribatra Sukhumbandhu was a prominent figure in Siamese politics during the later part of the absolute monarchy, often credited as the man behind King Prajadhipok's throne. The prince served as Minister of the Interior at the time of the Siamese revolution of 1932, and he was captured by the [[Khana Ratsadon]] (the People's Party) and placed under arrest. Prajadhipok accepted the demands of the rebels and became a constitutional monarch. Prince Paribatra, however was exiled from Siam. He eventually settled and died in [[Indonesia]], having never returned to his homeland. Mom Rajawongse [[Sukhumbhand Paribatra]], politician and [[Governor of Bangkok]] is one of his grandchildren. |
