Boulone Lise was nicknamed Gori Bibi or the fair mistress Boulone Lise was the daughter of Nawab Fazal Khan Bahadur, the grandson of Aurangzebs prime minister. She was a victim of domestic violence, rescued by Major General Claude Martin, who landed penniless from France to Pondicherry in 1752, to become one of the most intriguing citizens of Lucknow. Gori Bibi entered Martin's household in 1775 when she was nine. She grew up pledging to him eternal gratitude & love. And from the many women Martin loved, Boulone Lise was his favourite. She outlived Martin who died in 1800 Martin willed that his property be given to Boulone Lise for whom he had the greatest regard & affection. She chose to be buried on the grounds of La Martiniere College.
