Zübeyde Sultan ( Ottoman Turkish: زبیدہ سلطان; "creamed body" or "prime"; 28 March 1728 – 4 June 1756) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed III (reign 1703 – 1730) and his consort Musli Kadın. She was the half-sister of Sultans Mustafa III (reign 1757 – 1774) and Abdul Hamid I (reign 1774 – 1789) of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Zübeyde Sultan was born on 28 [2] or 29 March [3] 1728. Her father was Sultan Ahmed III, [4] [5] and her mother was Emine Musli Kadın (called also Muslıhe, Muslu or Musalli). [6] She had a full elder sister named Ayşe Sultan. [7]

Her father having been dethroned in 1730, she grew up at the Old Palace but was able to live in comfort, [2] as he had had the farmstead of Dilsiz Mehmed Ağa, situated near Edirne, and thus its incomes, allocated to her. [4] [2]

Her cousin Mahmud I had a yalı, or waterfront manse, built for her at the precincts of Eyüp [4] in around August 1747. [5]

On 6 January 1748, during Mahmud's reign, Zübeyde was married firstly to Süleyman Pasha, [5] [8] Beylerbey (governor – general) of Anatolia and Vizier, who, though, died soon after, some six months into the marriage. [9] Thus, she was married secondly, within the year, on 6 January 1749, to Numan Pasha, [5] [10] kapıcılar kethüdası, or head of the Imperial Palace Guards, Sanjak-Bey (provincial governor) of Thessaloniki and Kavala, and Vizier. [4] [9] Her husband would go on to serve in various other provincial posts, while Zübeyde continued to live at her house in Edirne. [9]

She had no known children.

Turkish historian Mustafa Çağatay Uluçay describes the princess as a "philanthropist, protector of the poor, who read day and night". [4]

Death

Zübeyde Sultan died of natural causes at the age of twenty-eight, [9] on 4 June [5] 1756. [11] She was entombed in the Imperial Ladies Mausoleum, located at Yeni Mosque, Istanbul. [4] [5] [9]
