Navekmisal Hanım (Template:Lang-ota c. 1838 - 5 August 1854) was the eighteenth wife of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire.
Life
Navekmisal Hanım was born in the Biberd family in North Caucasus. Her father was Prince Rüstem Bey Biberd and her mother was Princess Fatma Hanım Kızılbek, the daughter of Prince Batuhan Kızılbek. She had a sister named, Suzidilara Hanım (died 1919).[1]
Fatma Hanım's sister, Princess Keşfiraz Hanım, hence a close relative, had been a wetnurse to Princess Refia Sultan, daughter of Sultan Abdulmejid I. For this reasons Navekmisal and her sister were sent to live with her at Istanbul. Navekmisal grew into adulthood in the Imperial Harem. She entered palace service and became lady-in-waiting to Valide Sultan Bezmiâlem Sultan.[2]
Navekmisal married Abdulmejid in 1853. She was given the title of "Fifth Fortunate".[3] She remained childless.[1]
Death
In early 1854, she had fallen victim to the epidemic of tuberculosis then raging in Istanbul in the nineteenth century. She died on 5 August 1854, at Şemsipaşa Palace located at Üsküdar. She is buried in the Mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the New Mosque, Istanbul.[3][4][1]
