Aşubcan Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: آشوب جان قادین; c. 1795 – 10 June 1870) was the consort of Sultan Mahmud II of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Mahmud married Aşubcan in 1810. She was granted the rank of Fifth Primary Consort (بشنجی آشوب جان قادین). On 16 June 1811 she gave birth to Saliha Sultan.[1] Traditional birth ceremony was arranged in the imperial harem, which was attented by Mahmud's mother, wives, and sisters. On this occasion Valide sultan Nakşidil Sultan presented Aşubcan with presents.[2]

Later on, she was promoted to the rank of Fourth Primary Consort (دردنجی آشوب جان قادین) and was further promoted to the rank of Third Primary Consort (اچنجی آشوب جان قادین). In 1834, her daughter married Damat Gürcü Halil Rifat Pasha, and went to live in Fındıklı Palace.[3]

After Mahmud's death in 1839, his son Sultan Abdülmecid I ascended the throne. Aşubcan moved to live in the Beşiktaş waterfront Palace, and later in Çamlıca,[4][5][6] and Maçka Palaces. In 1843 her daughter also died.[7] In 1861, after the death of Abdülmecid, his half-brother Sultan Abdülaziz ascended the throne. Aşubcan often wrote letters to both of her stepsons, and was even visited by them at her palace.[8][9][10][6]

Aşubcan Kadın died on 10 June 1870, and was buried the mausoleum of her husband located at the Divanyolu street.[8][9][10][6]
