元貞独孤皇后
元貞独孤皇后（げんていどっここうごう）は、中国西魏の匈奴系軍人である独孤信の四女。唐の高祖李淵の母。
隴西郡公李昞に嫁ぐ。年老いて病となるが、性格が気難しく、李家の夫人たちはみな恐れて介護しようとしなかった。李淵の妻の竇夫人だけがつつましく独孤氏に孝事して、自分の着替えもせずに付き添った。
618年（武徳元年）、李淵が唐を建てると、元貞皇后の諡号を贈られ、世祖元帝（李昞）の皇后として追尊された。
一部の歴史家は、彼女がネストリウス派のキリスト教徒であったと考えている[1][2]。

"Amongst the aspirants for imperial power in China was one Li Yüan, whose father had married a Turkish lady of the Duku family. It is somewhere stated by a European writer that she was a Christian, which, even if untrue, is not at all improbable, as the Nestorian Olopen arrived in 635 during the reign of her grandson, Li Shih-min, who issued an edict in favour of Christianity."
