Zübeyde Sultan (28/29 March 1728 – 4 June 1756) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed III (reign 1703 – 1730) and half-sister of Sultans Mustafa III (reign 1757 – 1773) and Abdul Hamid I (reign 1773 – 1789) of the Ottoman Empire.
Life
Born on 28[1] or 29 March[2] 1728, Zübeyde Sultan was a daughter of Ahmed III[3][4] and his consort Musli Kadın.[1] Her father having been dethroned in 1730, she grew up at the Eski (Old) Palace but was able to live in comfort,[1] as he had had the farmstead of Dilsiz Mehmed Ağa, situated near Edirne, and thus it's incomes, allocated to her.[3][1]
Her cousin Mahmud I had a yalı, or waterfront manse, built for her at the precincts of Eyüp[3] in around August 1747.[4]
On 6 January 1748, during Mahmud’s reign, Zübeyde was married firstly to Süleyman Pasha[4][5], Beylerbey (governor – general) of Anatolia and Vizier, who, though, died soon after, some six months into the marriage.[6] Thus, she was married secondly, within the year, on 6 January 1749, to Numan Pasha[4][7], kapıcılar kethüdası, or head of the Imperial Palace Guards, Sanjak-Bey (provincial governor) of Thessaloniki and Kavala, and Vizier.[3][6] Her husband would go on to serve in various other provincial posts.[6]
Turkish historian Mustafa Çağatay Uluçay describes the princess as a “philanthropist, protector of the poor, who read day and night”.[3]
Death
Like the majority of her siblings, Zübeyde Sultan did not live long, dying of natural causes at the age of twenty-eight,[6] on 4 June[4] 1756.[8] She was entombed in the Imperial Ladies Mausoleum, located at Yeni Mosque, Istanbul.[3][4][6]
