Emine Gülbahar Hatun (c. 1432–1492) was the first wife Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, and mother of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II.[1]

Life

She married Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II in 1446 at Manisa.[3]

Origin

There have been differing views of her origin. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun bint-i Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah), which means that her father was a convert to Islam. She was the real biological mother of Bayezid II.[1]

  • Albanian origin.[4][5][6]
  • Pontic Greek from Douvera in Trabzon.[7]

Issue

There are differing views of her issue:

Gülbahar's mausoleum at the Fatih Mosque, Istanbul.

According to custom, Gülbahar got the highest position as Valde Hatun in the imperial family after the sultan himself when her son, Bayezid II, ascended the throne in 1481 until her death in 1492.

In 2012 film, Fetih 1453, Gülbahar was portrayed by Şahika Koldemir.

First one - Gülbahar Hatun I is in Fatih Mosque in Istanbul and the second one - Gülbahar Hatun II is in Gül-Bahar Hatun Mosque in Trabzon. Only the grave of Aisha Hatun, who was the Fourth wife of Bayezid II and the daughter of Alaüddevle Bozkurt Bey, the eleventh ruler of the Dulkadirids centered around Elbistan in Kahramanmaraş, is unknown. We do not have any documents about Aisha Hatun." He supports the theory of "Aisha Gulbahar". Another reason for this confusion is that Bayezid's mother was also Gulbahar.
