Gülbahar Hatun[2] (Ottoman Turkish: گل بهار خاتون; c. ? – 19 November 1505), was the eighth[1] wife of Sultan Bayezid II and the mother of Sultan Selim I of the Ottoman Empire.[3]

Origins

There have been two theories:

  • According to the first theory, she was the daughter of an Albanian turned Turk.[4] The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abd-us-Samed (Daughter of Abd-us-Samed), Abdu's-Samad[1] which supports the widespread view that her father was an Albanian who had "turned Turk", that is converted to Islam and joined the Turkish Millet. Abd-us-Samed, Abdu's-Samad[1] meaning Servant of God, was the anonym that was applied to many Balkan and Anatolian Christians who converted to Islam in the classical Ottoman period.[1][5][6] She was the eighth wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II and died in 1510.

The two theories have been a matter of debate between historians. [11]

Life

Bayezid married her in 1469 at Amasya. When Bayezid was still a şehzade ("Ottoman prince") and the governor of Amasya sanjak when she gave birth to Selim I in 1470. When Mehmed the Conqueror died in 1481, Bayezid moved to Constantinople, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, along with his family to ascend the throne.

According to Turkish tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors (Sanjak-bey) as a part of their training.[9] Mothers of princes were responsible for the proper behaviour of their sons in their provincial posts.[9] In 1495 was sent to Trabzon sanjak and Gülbahar accompanied him.

However, she herself never became recognized as a Valide Sultan because she died on 19 November 1505 before Selim's accession to the sultanate.[12]

Her tomb at the Gülbahar-Ayşe Hatun Mosque

Her tomb is located in Gülbahar Hatun Camii in Trabzon, Turkey.[9] It was built in 1514 in honour of his mother and was restored in 1885.[13]
