Resan Hanım (Ottoman Turkish: رسان خانم 28 March 1860 – 31 March 1910) was the eighth wife of Sultan Murad V of the Ottoman Empire.
Early life
Resan Hanım was born on 28 March 1860[1][2] in Artvin. Born as Ayşe, she was a member of Georgian noble family. Her father was Ömer Bey and her mother was Fatma Hanım.[3] She had a sister named Rabia Gülten Hanım.[4] She had a foster sister named Şayeste Hanım.[5]
She had been brought to Istanbul as a young child, where her father entrusted her to the imperial harem together with her sister. She was then sent to Seniha Sultan's palace, where her name according to the custom of the Ottoman court was changed to Resan.[3]
Resan and her foster sister were presented to Murad by the Senior Kalfa as a gift on the occasion of his accession to the throne. After his deposition, she followed him into confinement in the Çırağan Palace.[5]
Marriage
Resan married Murad on 2 November 1877[6] in the Çırağan Palace when Murad was thirty-seven years old and Resan was seventeen years old, a year after Murad and his family's imprisonment in the palace. After her marriage, her sister, Gülten Hanım became a lady-in-waiting to her.[7]
On 19 June 1879, a year after the marriage, she gave birth to Fatma Sultan,[1] followed by Aliye Sultan, born on 24 August 1880. Aliye died on 17 September 1903.[8][9]
Last years and death
After Murad's death in 1904, she remained in the Çırağan Palace. In 1909 she moved in with her daughter Fatma Sultan. Later a mansion was allocated to her, where she died of Tuberculosis[7] on 31 March 1910 at the age of fifty.[10] She was buried in the mausoleum of Damat Mehmed Ali Pasha in Eyüp Cemetery, Istanbul.[11][12]
