Şermi Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: شرمی قادین; died c. 1732;[2] alias Rabia Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: رابعه سلطان) was a consort of Sultan Ahmed III and the mother of Sultan Abdul Hamid I.
Life
On 20 March 1725 she gave birth to her only son Şehzade Abdul Hamid. In 1728, when he was three she commissioned a fountain in Şemsipaşa, Üsküdar. Ahmed was deposed in 1730, and his nephew Mahmud I ascended the throne. Şermi along with other ladies of Ahmed's harem went to the Eski Palace, at Beyazıt Square.[2]
