Margaret Frances Wheeler, also known as Ulrica (12 August 1837 - possibly survived until 1907) was a British woman who survived the Siege of Cawnpore during the Indian Rebellion of 1857 having been abducted and kept prisoner by Ali Khan, a sowar, during the Satichaura Ghat massacre, thereby avoiding the Bibighar massacre. Her subsequent actions unknown, a rumour (possibly started by Ali Khan himself)[1] was spread that she valiantly executed her captors and subsequently committed suicide to preserve her honour; this was used as war propaganda by the British press.[2] Other accounts suggest her death in Nepal after fleeing with the Indian rebels, or her survival until 1907 having spent her life in seclusion at Cawnpore as wife of Ali Khan, who "was kind to her".[3][4] Her ultimate fate was never confirmed.
