Life

Birth

Emine Sultan was born on 1 September 1696[1] at the Edirne Palace. She was the second daughter of Sultan Mustafa II.

Marriages

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 Sultan 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 vizier’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 Baths of Hagia Sophia, 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 Eyalet 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]

Charity

In 1715, Emine commissioned a fountain near the Çivizade Mosque in Topkapı.[7][8]

Death

Emine Sultan died in 1739, and was buried in Mevlevihane Kapısı, Istanbul.[7][9]
