Life

Mahmud married Aşubcan in 1810, and was given the title of "Fifth Consort". On 16 June 1811 she gave birth to Saliha Sultan in the Topkapı Palace.[1] Traditional birth ceremony was arranged in the imperial harem, which was attended by Mahmud's mother, wives, and sisters. On this occasion Valide sultan Nakşidil Sultan presented Aşubcan with presents.[2]

Later on, she was "Fourth Consort" and "Third Consort". 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 Abdulmejid 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 Abdulmejid, his half-brother Sultan Abdulaziz 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]
