Emine Sultan (1 September 1696 – 1739) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Mustafa II (reign 1695 – 1703) and half-sister of Sultans Mahmud I (reign 1730 – 1754) and Osman III (reign 1754 – 1757) of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Emine Sultan was born on 1 September 1696[1] at the Edirne Palace. She was the second daughter of Sultan Mustafa II. When Emine was five, Mustafa had her betrothed to the beylerbey (governor-general) of Damascus, Hasan Pasha. This engagement was annulled in 1701 and the same year she was engaged to Çorlulu Ali Pasha then her father’s sword-bearer.[2]

On 9 April 1708, Emine on her uncle Ahmed III's behest was wed to Çorlulu Ali Pasha, then Grand Vizier [3] Both Emine’s trousseau and her wedding processions headed for the grand vezir’s palace which was just across the road from the Alay Köşkü. Both processions, led by top dignitaries, left from the Imperial Gate, passing by the Cebehane (the Church of St Irene), the Bath of Ayasofya, and through the street called Soğukçeşme to reach the grand vizier’s palace.[4]

After Ali Pasha's death in 1710, Emine married Recep Pasha, the beylerbey of Trabzon in 1712, and following his demise, Ibrahim Pasha in 1724. After Ibrahim Pasha died in turn, she married Abdullah Pasha on 1 June 1728.[5][6] The latter died in 1736.[7]

Death

Emine Sultan died in 1739, and was buried in Mevlevihane Kapısı, Istanbul.[7][8]
