Devlet Hatun (full name Tâcü'l-havatin Devlet Hâtun bint-i Abdullah;[1] died 23 January 1414) was the twelfth[2] wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and the mother of Mehmed I.[1][4]

Biography

Devlet Hatun was the twelfth[2] and last wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and the mother of Bayezid's successor, Mehmed I. Her name in her vakfîyya is registered as Daulât bint-i Abd'Allah. Since both Devlet Hâtun, and Devlet-Şâh Hâtun died in 1414, she is frequently confused with Devlet-Şâh Hâtun, the daughter of Süleyman of Germiyan.[5]

Devlet Hatun died on 23 January 1414[2] and was buried at the Devlet Hatun Tomb (Türbesi) in Bursa.

Burial place

Inscription at the entrance of "Devlet Hātûn Türbe" states that she was a Germiyanid and her mother was a granddaughter of Mawlana Rumi. "Devlet Hātûn Türbe" had been constructed by Mehmed I in memory of his mother,[1] Devlet Hātûn. According to the inscription she died on 1412. She is frequently being confused with Devletşah Hatun.[1]

The tomb of Devlet Hatun stands alone in Bursa neighbourhoods separate from the mosque complexes that contained the tombs of the sultans and other members of the dynasty, following two royal mothers, Nilüfer Hatun and Gülçiçek Hatun. It is well tended by the Bursa neighborhood in which it is situated and functions as a local pilgrimage site. The sign outside her tomb gives the following details:

V. padişah Çelebi Mehmet yaptırmıştır. Devlet Hatun, Yıldırım Beyazıtın karısı ve Çelebi Sultan Mehmedin annesidir. Germiyan beyinin kızıdır Devlet Hatunun annesi Mevlâna Celâleddini Rum-i'nin torunudur. Devlet Hatun 1412 yılında ölmüştür.[6]

It was built by Sultan Mehmed I. Devlet Hatun was the wife of Sultan Bayezid I and the mother of Sultan Mehmed I. She was the daughter of a Germiyanid prince.[1][lower-alpha 1] Her mother was the granddaughter of Mevlâna Celâleddini Rumi. Devlet Hatun died in 1412.[1]
