Davaadembereliin Mönkhbayar
Davaadembereliin Mönkhbayar (born in Ghawlama, 1640; Storish name Mönkbajar Davádemberelsdóttir) is a Hurmu (Lontinian ethnicity) politician and a scholar of the intersection of finance, economics, and law. Minister of International Trade (1708–1710), Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs (1710–1713, 1728), Minister of Justice (1713–1719), and Attorney General (1720–1728; 1728–present).
Growing up in a Ghawlama under Storish rule, Mönkhbayar (as her given name is under Lontinian tradition; Davaadembereliin her patronymic) suffered from the systemic racism of Storish society. Despite this, she excelled in school and won a scholarship to study law and econimics at the University of Kaupang 1658–1665, graduating in a joint decree of Master of Laws and MSc Economics. She took on a trainee programme in Sameinaða Erlendur Kaupsýsla Einokun Félagið, but left after a few months due to ethnic and sexual abuse in the workplace. Instead, she joined a private practice of business lawyers in Ghawlama, staying there until 1672. In 1672, she secured a PhD position at the Royal Julius Civilis University in 's Koningenwaarde, graduating four years later with her thesis The effects of the Froyalanish and Hurmu genocides on agricultural productivity and law: An investigative comparison. Mönkhbayar then returned to Kaupang for three years, working as a postdoc and lecturer. Her research here led to the intersection of law, finance and economics, authorising several papers on the field.
By 1683, she was the first Lontinian to be awarded an Assistant Professorship in all of Storish history, when she was named thus at the Polytechnic College in Ghawlama. Two years later, upon the collapse of Stormark, she joined forces with Temüjin Khan, and helped re-establish the Khanate of Lontinien. Upon the creation of Hurmu, she was elected to the Assembly of Representatives for the Lontinian People's Party in 1690. After serving in the Parlerment for one term, she returned to academia in 1695, having been named Professor of Law and Finance at the University of Lontinien in Ghawlama. She kept this position until 1707, when she stood for election for the Edasi Hurmu party in Lontinien (having grown dissolutioned with the LPP's merging with the humanists). Weeks later, she was appointed Minister of International Trade in the fifth cabinet of Daniyal al-Osman. She stayed on as minister in the same department in the sixth cabinet of Daniyal al-Osman, but when the cabinet of Patrik Djupvik took office in 1713, she switched position to Minister of Justice, holding the position also through the cabinet of Jamshid-e Osman until 1719, when she, along with her party, went into opposition against the Cabinet of Annika Raudsepp.
Following the end of the Hurmu civil conflict, she was restored to the cabinet as Attorney General of Hurmu. She briefly switched positions upon the inauguration of Anastasia as First Secretary of State, when she was Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs once again in 1728 for two weeks, before being restored to her position as Attorney General again.
