Sultan Abdul Hamid II consorts and children, take your time I won’t hurry you

I'm sorry for being late but the man had so many children they just would never end.

Consorts

Nâzik-edâ Başkadınefendi (1848-1895): the mother of Ulviye Sultan, the violent death of her only child was a shock from which she never recovered. She gained a lot of weight in a short period of time and died on 11 April 1895. She was buried in the mausoleum of Murad V in the Yeni Mosque.

Sâfi-nâz Nûr-efzûn 2. Kadınefendi (1850-1915): her real name was Ayşe and she was the youngest sister of Abdülmecid I's consort Yıldız Hanım. When Yıldız Hanım married Abdülmecid, Ayşe was sent to the household of Şehzade Abdülaziz. According to Harun Açba, Abdülaziz was fascinated by her beauty and wanted to marry her but she declined because she was in love with Şehzade Abdülhamid. The feeling was mutual and the young prince asked his step-mother Perestu Kadınefendi's help. She told Abdülaziz that Safinaz was ill and that she needed a change of air; later, Abdülaziz was informed that she had passed away. Abdülhamid therefore married Safinaz, now Nurefsun, in October 1868. She could not get used to life in the harem, though, and wanted to be Abdülhamid's only wife. She therefore asked for a divorce, which she was granted in 1879. She died in 1915.

Bedr-i Felek Başkadınefendi (1851-1930): she was a Circassian princess who entered the Palace service after fleeing Caucasus. She married the future Abdülhamid II on 15 November 1868 and had three children with him: Şehzade Mehmed Selim, Şehzade Ahmed Nuri and Zekiye Sultan. It is said that Abdülhamid II greatly disliked his son Mehmed Selim and it is for this reason that he never visited Bedrifelek in her apartments. Nevertheless, she took over Rahime Perestu Valide Sultan's duties in the harem after her death. Following the 31 March Incident, there was the concrete possibility for Bedrifelek to become Valide Sultan because her son Mehmed Selim had been chosen as his father's successor. In the end this did not happen and maybe for this reason she did not follow Abdülhamid to Thessaloniki. After the fall of the Empire, she settled in a mansion in Serencebey which she never left. She was described as always melancholic and with tears in her eyes whenever she mentioned the old times in the Palace. She died on 8 February 1930.

Bîdâr 2. Kadınefendi (1855/8-1918): considered the most beautiful and charming of Abdülhamid II's consorts, she was born a Kabardian princess. She was tall, with brown hair and green penetrating eyes. She was the mother of Fatma Naime Sultan and Şehzade Abdülkaadir. Her beauty was talked about in Europe as well, to the point that when in 1918 Empress Zita visited Istanbul, she asked to visit Bidar. The consort, unfortunately, had died in January of the same year.

Dil-pesend 3. Kadınefendi (1861/5-1901): there is not much information about her, Ayşe Sultan even mistook her for Fatma Pesend in her memoirs. She seems to have been Georgian and given to the Palace at a young age but there is no information about her parents. She married Abdülhamid II in 1884 in Yıldız Palace; a year later she gave birth to Naile Sultan. She died young and was buried in the Yahya Efendi Cemetery.

Mezîde Mestân 3. Kadınefendi (1869-1909): her real name Kadriye or Kamile, she was the aunt of Mehmed VI Vahideddin's Senior Consort Emine Nazikeda. Described as very timid, she was apparently tall, with brown eyes and hair. She married Abdülhamid in 1885 and in the same year gave birth to her only child, Şehzade Mehmed Burhaneddid, Abdülhamid II's most beloved son. As the mother of the sultan's favourite son she was very influential but never abused her position; instead, she was known for helping everyone and even her step-children loved her. She died three months before Abdülhamid II's deposition and was buried in the Yahya Efendi Cemetery.

Emsâl-i Nûr 3. Kadınefendi (1866-1952): she entered the harem with her sister Tesrid Hanım. Abdülhamid II noticed Emsalinur because of her beauty and married her in 1885. A year later she gave birth to her only child, Şadiye Sultan. She built a mosque in Kırkpınar in 1907 and was gifted a mansion in Nişantaşı, where she lived after her husband's deposition. She took the surname Kaya after the Surname Law of 1934. In 1948, her mansion was put on sale by the Ministry of Finance and therefore had to live in a public hospice until her death on 20 November 1952. Her sister Tesrid married Şehzade İbrahim Tevfik Efendi.

Ayşe Dest-i Zer Müşfika “Kayısoy” 4. Kadınefendi (1867-1961): her real name was Ayşe and she was of Abkhazian origin. Her father was a soldier and her mother took Ayşe and her sister to Pertevniyal Valide Sultan, who liked them very much. The valide sultan changed her name to Destizer. She moved to Dolmabahçe Palace when Pertevniyal Sultan died and there attracted Abdülhamid II's attention, who changed her name into Müşfika. She married him on 12 February 1886 and a year later she gave birth to her only child, Ayşe Sultan. After Mezîde Mestân's death she was raised to the rank of Fourth Imperial Consort. She followed Abdülhamid II in his exile to Thessaloniki and afterwards in Beylerbeyi Palace, where she stayed until his death. it is said that the former sultan died in her arms. She settled in Gazi Osman Paşa's mansion in Serencebey after the expulsion of the Ottoman Dynasty. She died on 16 July 1961 and was buried in the Yahya Efendi Cemetery.

Sâz-kâr Başhanımefendi (1873-1945): her real name Fatma, she belonged to the Abkhazian aristocracy and entered Palace service at a young age. After receiving a thorough education, she married Abdülhamid II in 1890; a year later she gave birth to her only child, Refia Sultan. She was considered very beautiful: tall, with blond hair and blue eyes, she was very elegant. She followed Abdülhamid II to Thessaloniki and then returned to Istanbul, where she settled down with her fellow wife Peyveste Hanım. In 1924 she chose to go in exile with her daughter and died in 1945 in Damascus. She was buried in the Sultan Selim Mosque in Damascus.

Hadîce Râbi’a Peyveste 2. Hanımefendi (1873-1943): her real name Rabia, she was the daughter of an Abkhazian prince. She was introduced to palace service by a relative; she first served Nazikeda BaşKadınefendi with her sisters and then became Chief Harem Treasurer. Abdülhamid II married her in 1893. She was the aunt of Leyla Açba and this is how her niece described her in her memoirs: "My aunt was a tall, green-eyed, brown-haired, delicate, beautiful woman. Her real name was Rabia, and she was the youngest of five siblings ..." In 1894 she gave birth to her only child, Şehzade Abdürrahim Efendi. Peyveste was so respected and admired by her husband that she was given the Hanedan-ı Ali Osman Order even though it was usually reserved to members of the Dynasty. Peyveste had a personal mansion in which she lived until Abdülhamid II's dethronement, when she followed him to Thessaloniki. When they returned to Istanbul, she settled down in Şişli with Sâz-kâr Başhanımefendi, her favourite among her husband's consort. Their rooms were on the same floor and every day they took coffee together and reminisced about the past. As Şehzade Abdürrahim lived close by, he used to visit often. In 1924, Peyveste Hanım left Turkey with her son and settled down in Paris, where he had bought a nice flat in Boulevard Murat. She died in 1943 and was buried in the Muslim cemetery of Bobigny.

Fatma Pesend 3. Hanımefendi (1876-1924): her real name Fatma Kadriye, she was a member of the aristocratic Açba family. Her mother was a Tatar Princess. Fatma Pesend was highly educated: she spoke Italian and French, she was a great pianist and painter, she enjoyed horseback riding and she loved reading. She met Abdülhamid II during a visit to the Palace and they got married in 1896, when her name was changed into Pesend. Her only child, Hatice Sultan, was born in 1897 but died at seven months of smallpox. In his grief, Abdülhamid had the first paediatric hospital of the empire built; Fatma Pesend was left in charge of its administration. She was one of the favourite consorts of the sultan and was known for her kindness and tolerance. She used to visit the Şişli Etfal Hospital every week, paying particularly good attention to the treatment of orphans. Once she took off the necklace she was wearing and gifted it to a poor woman. She was one of the consorts that followed Abdülhamid II in exile in Thessaloniki but when they returned to Istanbul she wasn't allowed to live in Beylerbeyi Palace with him and instead moved in with her father. When Abdülhamid II died, she braided her hair, cut it off and threw it into the sea. She died in 1924 and was buried next to her mother in the Karacaahmet Cemetery.

Behîce “Maan” 4. Hanımefendi (1882-1969): her real name Behiye, she was Sazkar Hanımefendi's cousin. She was brought to the Palace to be a potential bride for Şehzade Burhaneddin but Abdülhamid II was so enthralled by her beauty that he married her himself on 10 May 1900 even though Behiye didn't want to. A year later she gave birth to the twins Nûreddîn and Bedreddîn, but Bedreddîn died at the age of two. She was blonde with blue eyes. She was also very arrogant and proud. After Abdülhamid II's dethronement, she stayed in Istanbul with her son until 1924, when they moved in Naples, Italy, in an apartment in Via Generale Orsini. She fell on hard times in Naples because she had no money and what she was sent from Turkey was being embezzled by her servant. A relative who visited her in Italy was appalled by the conditions she lived in: her hair was unkempt, her nails had grown extremely long and she had not washed herself in weeks. Thankfully, Behice Hanım was brought back to Istanbul by the Maan family but she was so ill that she died only months later, on 22 October 1969. She was buried in the Yahya Efendi Cemetery.

Sâliha Nâciye Kadınefendi (1882/7-1923): her real name Zeliha, she changed her name into Saliha Naciye when she entered palace service. She was noticed by Abdülhamid II three years after arriving in Yıldız Palace and married him in 1904. She gave birth to Şehzade Mehmed Abid Efendi a year later and to Samiye Sultan in 1908. Upon the birth of Samiye Sultan, she was granted the unusual title of V Kadınefendi. She was known for her kindness and it is said that she attracted the sultan with her modesty. After Abdülhamid II's deposition, she followed him first to Thessaloniki and then to Beylebeyi Palace in Istanbul, where she refused to leave his side. After Abdülhamid II's death, she settled in a mansion in Erenköy, where she passed away in 1923. She was buried in the mausoleum of Mahmud II.

Children

Ulviye Sultan (1868-1875): Abdülhamid II's eldest daughter, she died at the age of 7 while she played with matches. Her mother was playing the piano and the servants were having dinner so Ulviye was left unsupervised. Her dress caught fire and Nâzikedâ Başkadın tried to take it off her and burnt her hands while trying to open the metallic belt the child was wearing. Ulviye Sultan died burning alive, nothing could be done for her. Her death was a tremendous shock for her mother, from which she never recovered.

Şehzâde Mehmed Selîm Efendi (11.1.1870 - 5.5.1937): son of Bedrifelek Başkadınefendi, he was Abdülhamîd II's eldest son. He famously did not get along with his father. He had two consorts: Deryâl (İryâle) Başhanımefendi (1870-1904) and Nîlûfer Eflâkyâr Başhanımefendi (1887-1930s). He had three children: Şehzâde Mehmed Efendi (1887-1890), Emine Nemika Sultan (1888-1969) and Şehzâde Mehmed Abdülkerîm Efendi (1906 - 1935)

Zekiye Sultan (1872-1950): here

Fatma Naime Sultan (5.9.1876-1944/45): the eldest child of her mother Bidar, Naime was one of her father's favourite children, who used to call her "my accession daughter" because she had been born close to his accession to the throne. Abbas II Hilmi, the last Khedive of Egypt, asked for her hand but Abdülhamid did not approve of the match and turned him down. Naime Sultan married Mehmed Kemaleddin Paşa, Gazi Osman Paşa's second born son and brother of Zekiye Sultan's husband Alì Nureddin Paşa, in Ortaköy Palace on 17 March 1898. They had two children together: Sultânzâde Dâmad Mehmed Câhid Beyefendi (1899-1977) and Âdile Hanım-Sultan (1900-1979); both had very advantageous marriages. Abdülhamid II annulled the marriage in 1904 when it was discovered that Kemaleddin Paşa had been carrying out an affair with another princess, Hatice Sultan. Naime Sultan therefore re-married on 11 July 1907, this time to İşkodralızâde Mahmûd Celâleddîn Paşa, but had no children with him. After 1924, they left the Empire for France, Italy and lastly Albania, where Celâleddîn Paşa had family lands. After his death and the advent of communist rule in Albania, Naime Sultan lost her income and died in poverty either in 1944 or 1945. She was buried in Tirana.

Şehzâde Mehmed Abdülkadir Efendi (1878 - 1944): son of Bidar Kadınefendi, he was the first son to be born during the sultanate of Abdülhamid II. He played the piano and the violin. He had three consorts: Mihribân Hanımefendi, Hadîce Mâcide Hanımefendi and Fatma Meziyyet Hanım. His third marriage was not recognised by Mehmed V because he had got married without the sultan's permission. He had six children: Mehmed Orhan Efendi (12.10.1909 - 13.3.1994), later head of the Ottoman family; Necîb Ertuğrul Efendi (27.3.1914 - 7.2.1994), a doctor; Alâeddîn Efendi (2.1.1917 - Sofya, 21.11.1999); Bîdâr Sultan (1924-1924), clearly named after her paternal grandmother; Osman Efendi (1925 - 1934?); Safvet Nesl-i Şah Sultan (25.12.1925).

Şehzâde Ahmed Nûrî Efendi (12.2.1878 - 7.8.1944): son of Bedrifelek Başkadınefendi, he was only 27 days younger than his brother Abdülkadir. He married Fahriye Hanımefendi but had no children with her. He died in Nice, France but was buried in the Sultan Selim Mosque in Damascus.

Naile Sultan (9.2.1885-25.10.1957): daughter of Dilpesend Kadınefendi, she learned to play the piano, the harp and the violoncello from Lombardi Bey. In 1901 she was engaged to Gazi Osman Paşa's third son, Cemaleddin Bey, but Kemaleddin Paşa's affair with Hatice Sultan made the wedding fall through. She therefore married Germiyânoğlu Arif Hikmet Paşa on 27 February 1905 in Kuruçeşme Palace. The marriage was childless. In 1924 they settled in Beirut, where Hikmet Paşa died in 1942. She was allowed to return to Istanbul, where she eventually died. She was buried in the Yahya Efendi Cemetery.

He was circumcised with his elder brothers Abdülkadir and Ahmed Nûrî in 1890. He was named after Abdülhamid II's favourite brother and for a while he was his favourite son, sitting next to him in carriages, to the point that there were talks that he would be named Crown Prince. He was offered the Kingdom of Albania in 1913 but he refused because he did not want to waive his rights to the Ottoman throne. In the summer of 1921 he was offered the throne of Iraq but Great Britain had another candidate in mind and instead enthroned Faysal, former King of Syria. He had 4 wives: Hidâyet Hanımefendi, Aliyye Melek Nazlıyâr “Yalçın” Hanımefendi, Lady Georgina Leonora Mosselmans, Marquess of Queensberry (the marriage was not recognised by the Caliph of Islam and was therefore morganatic) and lastly Elsie Deming Jackson (another morganatic marriage not recognised by the head of the Ottoman dynasty). Burhâneddîn Efendi had two sons: Mehmed Fahreddin Efendi (14.11.1911 - 13.7.1968) and Ertuğrul Osman Efendi (13/31.8.1912-23.9.2009), later head of the Ottoman dynasty. Burhâneddîn Efendi died in New York at the age of 63 but when his family asked for permission to bury him in Istanbul, the Turkish government denied it and was therefore buried in the Sultan Selim Mosque in Damascus.

Şadiye Sultan (1886/87-20.11.1977): daughter of Emsâl-i Nûr Kadınefendi, she learned to play European music from Lombardi Bey and Turkish music from Tanburi Cemil Bey. In 1909 she was engaged to Ali Namik Bey, Grand Vizier Küçük Mehmed Saïd Paşa's son, but before the marriage could take place, Abdülhamid II was dethroned. Şadiye Sultan did not like the Grand Vizier's behaviour during the 31 March Incident and therefore broke the engagement with his son in 1910. Enver Bey asked for her hand but she refused him as he worked to depose her father. In the end she married Fahir Beyefendi in 1910, a diplomat. With him she had her only child: Sâmiye Hanım-Sultan (1918-1992). Fahir Beyefendi died in 1922 and two years later, Şadiye and her daughter were expelled from Turkey.

A year later, Sultânzâde Abdülhamîd Raûf Beyefendi (1921–3.1981) was born. After 1924 she moved to Paris with her family, where they rented a small apartment near Versailles.

İSTANBUL’U HİÇ BÖYLE GÖRMEDİNİZ https://ift.tt/3drzwBK

Dron gözünden İstanbul hikayeleri

Dünyanın en köklü ve büyük şehirlerinden biri olan İstanbul’un her yeri tarihi mirasla, her köşesi hikayelerle dolu. Gezi yazarı Şenay Akkurt, duayen gazeteci Coşkun Aral’la birlikte İstanbul’un boş sokaklarını paylaşırken; teknoloji yazarı Timur Akkurt da DJI Mavic 2 Pro’yla sessiz şehirden görüntüler aldı. Şenay Akkurt ile Hayat Bana Güzel programı Allianz Motto Müzik YouTube kanalı için gerçekleştirilen çekim, birbirinden güzel görüntüler sergiliyor.

“Dron bile şaşırdı”

Şenay Akkurt “Hayat Bana Güzel” İstanbul özel bölümünde Coşkun Aral hikayeleriyle İstanbul hikayelerini birleştirerek boş İstanbul dekorunda çok özel bir bölüm çekti. Yarım asırdır fotoğrafçılık yapan Coşkun Aral, boş İstanbul çekimleri esnasında yaşadıklarını “Mesleğe ilk başladığım yıllarda karanlık odalarda siyah beyaz fotoğrafı çıkartmak için saatler harcardık. Şimdi bu dronlarla inanılmaz görüntüler alabiliyoruz. Hele ki sahne Istanbul’sa, ortaya daha da güzel şeyler çıkıyor. Dron bile şaşırdı milyonları barındıran Istanbul’un bomboş sokaklarına. Ama Istanbul bu, her hali ayrı güzel” sözleriyle dile getirdi. Timur Akkurt’un DJI mavic 2 pro ile çekilmiş boş istanbul klibi de çok yakında izleyicilerle buluşmaya hazırlanıyor.

7 tepeli şehre dair kısa kısa:

Rumeli Hisarı: Bahar aylarında erguvanların da çıkmasıyla ayrı bir güzelliğe sahne olan Rumeli Hisarı; Padişah Fatih Sultan Mehmet tarafından, İstanbul’un fethinden önce kuzeyden gelecek saldırıları engellemek için inşa edildi. Sarıyer ilçesinde bulunduğu semte adını veren hisarın her bir kulesi, yapım sırasında ayrı bir paşa tarafından denetlendi. Bu yüzden hisardaki kulelerin isimleri, onunla ilgilenen paşaların isimleriyle anılır.

Haydarpaşa Garı: 30 Mayıs 1906 tarihinde yapımına başlanan gar 19 Ağustos 1908 tarihinde hizmete açıldı. Bir rivayete göre binanın bulunduğu sahaya III. Selim’in paşalarından Haydar Paşa’nın adı verildiği söyleniyor. Yeşilçam filmlerinde de İstanbul’a giriş sahnesinin başlangıcı olan meşhur merdivenler, pek çok insanın İstanbul’la buluşmasının sembolü olarak görülüyor. Restorasyonu devam eden tarihi gar, Sultan II.Abdülhamid’in Hicaz demiryolu hattı projesinin başlangıç durağı olarak planlanmıştı.

Aksaray: Geçmişten bugüne İstanbul’a göç eden insanların toplandığı yer olarak bilinen Aksaray, İstanbul’un en köklü semtlerinden biri. Tarihi yarımada içinde yer alan semt, 19.yy neogotik mimari örneklerinden Pertevniyal Valide Sultan Camii’yi de sınırlarında barındırıyor. Coşkun Aral, çocukluğunun geçtiği Aksaray’ı: “İstanbul’daki ilk ikamet ettiğimiz ev Ragıp Bey Sokak’tı. Bir komuşumuz Siirtli, diğer komşumuz Balkan göçmeniydi. Sokak boyunca dümdüz gittiğimizde Arnavut Turşucusunu görürdük. Bu yapı İstanbul’un geçirgenliğinin göstergesiydi.”sözleriyle anlatıyor.

Sultanahmet Meydanı: İstanbul’un kurulduğu yer olarak da bilinen, Doğu Roma döneminde hipodrom olarak kullanılan meydan, hem Katolik hem Ortodoks hem de İslam medeniyeti için önemli bir yapı olan Ayasofya Müzesi’ni barındırıyor. Bir diğer adıyla ley hatları olan, dünyayı saran manyetik alan çizgilerinden birinin yer aldığı alanlardan birinin üzerine inşa edilen Ayasofya’nın; Doğu Roma İmparatoru I.Justinianus’un rüyasında görüp mimarlarına yaptırdığı söyleniyor.

Hemen karşısında yer alan ve meydana adını veren Sultanahmet Camii, Osmanlı Padişahı Sultan I.Ahmet tarafından Mimar Sinan’ın öğrencilerinde Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa’ya yaptırıldı. Mekke dışında inşa edilen ilk altı minareli camii olarak olan Sultanahmet Camii, içindeki İznik çinilerinden dolayı dünya tarafından Blue Mosque(Mavi Camii) olarak biliniyor. Dünyanın en ünlü kaşiflerinden olan Marco Polo da hayatının önemli bir kısmını burada geçirdi ve yolculuklarından birine burada başladı.

Kapalıçarşı: Yerli ve yabancı pek çok tursti kendine çeken Kapalıçarşı, dünya üzerinden yapılmış en büyük çarşılardan biri. Binlerce dükkan barındıran Kapalıçarşı, İstanbul’un gezmesi en keyifli yerlerinden biri olarak görülüyor.

Galata Köprüsü: Olta balıkçılarının buluşma noktalarından biri olan köprü, Haliç üzerinden iki yakayı birbirine bağlıyor. Peyami Safa’nın romanı Fatih Harbiye’de, Fatih ilçesi’nden Harbiye’ye köprü yoluyla gidenlerin farklı uygarlık ve kültürleri gördüğünü anlatır. Galata Köprüsü tasarım olarak başka köprülerden pek farklı olmasa da kültürel değeri nedeniyle pek çok edebiyatçı, ressam, yönetmen ve oymacıya konu olmuştur. Dünyaca bilinen kağıt oyunu Briç’in adının da Galata Köprüsü’nden geldiği söylenir. Kırım Savaşı zamanı İstanbul’daki İngiliz subayları Galata Köprüsü altındaki kahvehanelerde kağıt oynamaya geldikleri için, bu oyuna “Bridge”(Köprü) adını koydukları rivayet edilir.

Galata Kulesi: 6. yüzyıldan beri ayakta duran Galata Kulesi, Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi efsanesine de ev sahipliği yapıyor. 17. yüzyılda yaşayan Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi’nin, Galata Kulesi tepesinden kendi icat ettiği kanatlarla boşluğa atladığı ve Üsküdar’a kadar süzüldüğü fotoğraf İstanbul’un simgelerinden biri.

Tophane: Semtin sembollerinden biri olan Kılıç Ali Paşa Camii’nin yer aldığı Tophane’nin hikayelerinde ünlü yazarlar Miguel de Cervantes ve Jules Verne’in adını görebiliriz. Modern bilim-kurgunun öncülerinden Verne’nin iki ciltlik eseri “İnatçı Keraban”’da Ramazan ayındaki Tophane’ye geniş yer veriyor.
