Dugu Qieluo or Dugu Jialuo (Chinese: 獨孤伽羅; 544 – 10 September 602), formally Empress Wenxian (文獻皇后), was an empress of the Sui dynasty of China. She was the wife of Emperor Wen, who, on account of his love and respect for her, as well as an oath they made while they were young, did not have any concubines for at least most of their marriage, an extreme rarity among Chinese emperors. She also bore him all his children. However, she was domineering, ruthless, exceedingly powerful, and influential during her husband's reign, and assisted the him in running the empire. She was heavily involved in his decision to divert the order of succession from their eldest son Yang Yong to the second son Yang Guang. Yang Guang ascended after his father's death as Emperor Yang, the last Sui emperor.
