Early life

Of Circassian origin, Hayranıdil Kadın was born on 21 November 1846 in Kars, Caucasus.[2]

Marriage

Hayranıdil married Abdülaziz in 1861 in the Dolmabahçe Palace, after his accession to the throne. She was given the title of "Ikinci Kadın".[3] Five years after the marriage, on 25 February 1866, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter, Nazıma Sultan,[4] and two years later on 29 May 1868, she gave birth to her second child, a son, Şehzade Abdulmejid (future Caliph Abdulmejid II).[5]

Hayranıdil was celebrated as the most beautiful woman of the imperial household.[6]

Abdülaziz was deposed by his ministers on 30 May 1876, his nephew Murad V became the Sultan.[7] He was transferred to Feriye Palace the next day.[8] Hayranıdil, and other women of Abdülaziz's entourage didn't wanted to leave the Dolmabahçe Palace. So they were grabbed by hand and were send out to the Feriye Palace. In the process, they were searched from head to toe and everything of value was taken from them.[9] On 4 June 1876,[10] Abdülaziz died under mysterious circumstances.[11]
