𝙤𝙩𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨: Süleyman II

The harem life shared by Süleyman II, who was clumsy, short-sighted, nervous and sickly, who had been accustomed to living indoors since childhood, was probably dull; he did not have any children. He confiscated the jewels of his brother Ahmed (II)'s mother Muazzez, who died in 1687, and distributed them to his own women; it is learned from another document in the palace archives that Ahmed II had these three or five pieces of jewelry taken back when he ascended the throne — Necdet Sakaoğlu, Bu Mülkün Kadın Sultanları

Tell us please more Suleiman II and Ahmed II's consorts and children ? ( I heard that Suleiman was sterile but idk if that is true or not)

Süleyman II's consorts:

Hatice Kadın: according to Uluçay, Suleyman II's Senior Consort.

Behzad Kadın: she was given a diamond brooch which had belonged to Hatice Muazzez

Süğlün Kadın: she was given a pair of diamond earrings, a pair of pearl earrings and an 83-pearl pendant, which had belonged to Hatice Muazzez.

Şehsuvar Kadın: she was given an ablution bowl studded with pearls which had belonged to Hatice Muazzez

Zeyneb Kadın: consort of Süleyman II

İvaz Kadın: consort of Süleyman II

Süleyman II had no children. It is not known whether he was sterile or not, Davis says that he was not interested in sexual relations though he kept consorts. Anyways, he only reign for 4 years and spent the last 2 of which bedridden because his body had swollen up.

Ahmed II's Consorts:

Haseki Rabia Sultan: She was the most beloved concubine of Ahmed II and the last Haseki Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Her nationality, family, and date of birth are unknown. She was the mother of twins Ibrahim and Selim (born on 7 October 1692) and of Asiye Sultan (born on 23 October 1694). Twins were very rare in the dynasty and Rabia’s were possibly the first to be born to a sultan. The following day, Ahmed II ordered four days and four nights of celebrations throughout Istanbul. Unfortunately Selim died on 25 May 1693. In 1695, after Ahmed II’s death, she was sent to the Old Palace with her daughter Asiye (who died in the same year). When Rabia died in 1712, she was buried next to Ahmed II and her children in Süleyman I’s mausoleum.

Şayeste Hatun/Hanım: according to Sicill-i Osmani, she was an ikbal, but Sakaoğlu corrected that with gözde. She died in 1710 and she could have been the mother of Ahmed II’s other daughters.

No other concubines are known.

Children:

Şehzade Ibrahim: (7.10.1692 - 4.5.1714) son of Haseki Rabia Sultan, he was a twin.

Şehzade Selim: (7.10.1692 - 25.5.1693) son of Haseki Rabia Sultan and twin brother of Şehzade Ibrahim

Asiye Sultan: (23.10.1694 - 9.12.1695) daughter of Haseki Rabia Sultan, she was 4 months old when her father died. She went to the Old Palace with her mother, where she died a year later. She was buried next to her father.

Atike Sultan: it is disputed whether she really existed or if Asiye and Atike Sultan are the same person. She was born on 24 October 1694 (prompting historians to think that maybe there had been a mistake in reporting Asiye Sultan’s birth). It is not known when she died.

Hatice Sultan: this princess is mentioned in Sicill-i Osmani and in The Structure of the Ottoman Dynasty but not in contemporary sources.
