Biography

A Serb noblewoman, her given name was Maria (Turkish: Mari).[1] She was born in 1682.[2] She became the second concubine of Sultan Mustafa II (r. 1695–1703), after first concubine Saliha Sultan (born Elisaveta, a Greek), who was the mother of Mahmud I (r. 1730-1754).[3] The women of the Ottoman sultan lived in the Imperial Harem, one of the most important elements of the Ottoman court. According to Ottoman tradition, she was given an Arabic name.[4] Şehsuvar and Mustafa II had one son, Osman III, born on January 2, 1699.[5]

The Edirne event saw Mustafa II dethroned, with his brother Ahmed III succeeding as the new Sultan (r. 1703–1730). Mahmud I, Mustafa II's first son and the older half-brother of Osman III, succeeded as Sultan following Patrona Halil's orchestrated riot.[6] Mahmud I was then succeeded by his half-brother Osman III, thus Şehsuvar became the new Valide sultan.[7]

She died on 16 April[8] and was buried in the Nuruosmaniye Mosque, located in the Çemberlitaş neighbourhood of Fatih district in Istanbul, on 27 April 1756.[2] The mosque had been finished during the rule of Osman III, who buried his mother (Şehsuvar) in a separate türbe (tomb).[9]
