Biography

Emîne Mihr-î-Şâh[4] [citation needed] According to a recent publication by Necdet Sakaoğlu, her departure date could be estimated as just before May 1762, which corresponds to a note issued on Hijri Shawwal 1175. Therefore, she was a Valide Sultan to her son Sultân Mustafa III for approximately more than Four and a half years.[1] Mehr-î-Shâh means "Sun" (lit. compassion, endearment, affection, and clemency) and "Sultân".
