On this day, 5 July, in Ottoman history

5 July 1554 - Süleyman I's letter to Shah Tahmasp: "In one section of the letter sent to Shah Tahmasp, when Süleyman was camped near Kars just before crossing the border into Safavid territory, the Ottoman sovereign taunted his adversary with cowardice and accused him of issuing orders to his own troops to attack only after the Ottomans had retreated. Süleyman contended that, fearing to encounter his adversaries face to face, the shah went into hiding as soon as the Ottoman armies advanced. Such insults (hakaret) were accompanied by conventional and obligatory invitations to the shah to repent of his wayward and heretical Shiite ways and to accept the truth and validity of the only true religion, namely Sunni orthodoxy (davet-i Islam) as the best means for averting the outbreak of hostilities" -- Rhoads Murphey, Exploring Ottoman Sovereignty: Tradition, Image and Practice in the Ottoman Imperial Household, 1400-1800

5/6 July 1756 - the Great Fire of Istanbul: "Beginning in the Cibali neighbourhood on the Golden Horn, it spread through the walled city of Istanbul and, according to the contemporary chronicler Şemdanizade Fındıklılı Süleyman Efendi, raged for 48 hours, reducing 130 theological colleges, 335 mills, 150 mosques, 77,400 dwellings, 34,200 shops and 36 bath-houses to ashes."

5 July 1809 - birth of Ayşe Sultan: daughter of Mahmud II and Âşûb-i Cân Kadınefendi, she died in February 1810 and was buried in the courtyard of the Nurosmaniye Mosque.

What is known about Salina Sultan, Mahmud II’s daughter, and her mother?

Hello! Well, if Julia Pardoe's words are true, Saliha Sultan was kind of .... nasty? I guess nasty is wrong... maybe haughty? She wasn't really fun to be with, basically lol

Saliha Sultan (16.6.1811 - 5.2.1843) was Mahmud II's eldest daughter to reach adulthood and daughter of Second Imperial Consort Âşûbcân Kadınefendi. When she was born, three-day celebrations were held in her honour and her grandmother Nakşıdil Valide Sultan presented gifts to the new mother and the wives of leading statesmen. Sakaoğlu suggests that her late marriage was due to health problems; she was married in May 1834 to Dâmâd Halîl Rifat Paşa, whom Julia Pardoe describes as: "a good-looking man, but clumsily and ungracefully made, with a grave expression of countenance; which, if report speak truly, the temper of his Imperial helpmate is not calculated to gladden." Apparently, he marriage was not happy at all.

An example of Saliha Sultan's famous temper: once she passed in front of a coffee-kiosk in her carriage, where some members of the ulema were smoking. None of those men stood up to show their reverence and Saliha Sultan got so angry that " she instantly despatched one of her kavashlir for an armed guard, to whom she gave orders to convey the whole party to the palace of the Seraskier, to receive the bastinado for the want of respect which they had displayed towards her sacred person. To hear was to obey; and forthwith the thirty Ulemas, members of the most powerful body of men now existing in the Empire, were marched off to the Seraskier". Of course the event reached Mahmud II's ears, who sent "a stern message" to Saliha, in which he warned her never to attempt something like that ever again.

When her younger sister Mihrimah Sultan was to be married, there were no jewels to give her because all of them had been given to Saliha for her wedding. She never wore them, apparently too haughty to go out like the other princesses did at the time, and even in the harem she didn't. Mahmud, though, needed at least a part of those jewels so he visited her and suggested that she would sell them, since she never wore them. Saliha didn't know anyone who would buy the jewels of an Imperial Princess, so of course her father stepped in, offering to buy them himself. Of course the princess accepted and Mahmud actually paid them less than their actual value, though Saliha never found out.

With her husband Halil Paşa, she had three children: Sultânzâde Abdülhamîd Beyefendi (2.3.1835 – 3.1837), Sultânzâde Câvid Beyefendi (1837?-?), Ayşe Sıdıka Hanımsultân (1821 – 1886). Her first son Abdülhamîd was ceremoniously celebrated, with Pardoe saying that Saliha Sultan was relieved because her son was to live instead of being killed off by the sultan (this is something I have heard say by Europeans a couple of times before: that Sultanzades were killed off so as not to become threats to their grandfather... I don't know how true this is, to be honest. It seems a little harsh, considering that sons of princesses were excluded from the succession). Anyway, after the Imperial Family (in six open carriages) had arrived, she appeared on the terrace of her palace with a large entourage and the head nurse carrying the young infant. For his birth, Mahmud II had ordered cannons to be fired and ministers "hadbeen admitted to the Presence on audiences of congratulation."

Saliha Sultan passed away on 5 February 1843 and was buried in the mausoleum of her grandmother Nakşıdil Valide Sultan.

Âşûbcân Kadınefendi was the daughter of a Bulgarian delegate. She gave birth to her first child, Ayşe Sultan (5.7.1809-2.1810) in 1809, followed by Saliha Sultan in 1811. At the time of her second daughter's birth, she was the Fifth Imperial Consort, but eventually rose to the rank of Second Imperial Consort. She died 30 years after Mahmud II at the age of around 77 years old, on 10 June 1870.
