Emetullah Sultan

Emetullah Sultan was born in 1701 in the Edirne Palace. After her father's deposition in 1703, she settled in the Old Palace in Istanbul.[1][2]

In 1720, her uncle Sultan Ahmed III arranged her marriage to Osman Pasha.[2] Known by at least four different nicknames—Silâhdâr, Çerkes, Küçük, Sinek—Osman Pasha had risen from serving as a sword-bearer to her father, and had been previously married to Rukiye Sultan, a daughter of Fatma Sultan, who in turn was a daughter of Sultan Mehmed IV.[1][3] The marriage took place on 9 September 1720 in the Old Palace.[4]

The two together had a daughter, Hibetullah Hanımsultan,[2] who married Hacı Ali Pasha, and died in 1744. Emetullah was widowed at Osman Pasha's death in 1724.[5]

Emetullah Sultan died on 19 April 1727, and was buried in the mausoleum of New Mosque, Istanbul.[6][2]
