Tishyaraksha

Rani Tishyaraksha (died c. 238 BC) was the youngest as well as the last wife of Emperor Ashoka of the Mauryan Empire, who was the ruler of India. She is also referred to as Tishyarakshita, Tissarakka and Tissarakbha in some accounts. According to Ashokavadana, she was responsible for blinding Ashoka's son and heir presumptive Kunala. However, historians believe that she was not a wife but simply a concubine.
