Mehmed II Conqueror + consorts (pictures are for aesthetic)
Emine Gülbahar Hatun — was a favourite consort of Sultan Mehmed II. In most sources she is referred as non-muslim slave who was converted to Islam after her arrival to the harem. There is no agreement on her origins some historians think she was Pontic Greek, Albanian or lowly Slavic. She was the mother of the future Sultan Bayezid II and Gevherhan Hatun. She died circa 1492 and was buried in her mausoleum inside the Fatih Mosque next to her late husband.
Çiçek Yagmur Hatun — was a wife or consort of Sultan Mehmed II. According to some sources she could have been Turkish noblewoman or Serbian, Greek, Venetian, French slave. She entered the harem or married Mehmed at Constantinople and gave birth to her only son Şehzade Cem (Ottoman claimant Sultan) on 22 December 1459. It is not known the degree of influence she had during Mehmed’s reign or if she even was favoured by him. She died on 3 May 1498 of plague and was buried in Cairo.
Hatice Hatun — was a thrid legal wife of Sultan Mehmed II. She was a possible daughter of Zaganos Mehmed Pasha. In 1463 she became Mehmed's third legal wife. After her husband death she remarried with a statesman.
Sitti Mükrime Hatun — was a Turkish Princess and first legal wife of Sultan Mehmed II. Her father was Süleyman Bey the sixth ruler of Dulkadir State. When Mehmed turned seventeen he married her for political purposes. Her possible offspring is unknown. Due to her middle name Sittişah is sometimes confused with Gülbahar Mükrime Hatun another consort of Mehmed. She died in September 1486 and was buried in a mausoleum built inside her mosque.
Helena Palaiologina — was a possible wife of Sultan Mehmed II. Her entering the Sultan's harem is controversial and remain unconfirmed. She was a daughter of the Despot of Morea Demetrios Paleologos the brother of Constantine XI Palaiologos the final Byzantine emperor and Theodora Asanina the daughter of Paul Asan. Some rumors says Mehmed II asked for her after his campaign in Morea having heard of her beauty. Probably he never bedded with her because he was afraid she would poison him. In another case Helena was provided with a pension and large estate at Adrianople by the Sultan though she was forbidden to marry. She died of unknown causes in 1469 or 1470 in Edirne.
Gülşah Hatun — was a second legal wife or consort of Sultan Mehmed II. There is no informations about her origins. She married Mehmed or entered his harem in 1449 when he was still a Prince and the governor of Manisa. Shortly before Murad’s II death she gave a birth to her only son Şehzade Mustafa and followed him to Konya when he became governor of the province. She died circa 1487 and was buried in Bursa in the tomb she had built for herself near that of Mustafa.
Maria Hatun — was a consort of Sultan Mehmed II. Before she entered Mehmed’s harem she was a widow of Alexander Komnenos Asen. According to some sources she was judicated as the most beautiful woman of her age. Some historians claims she could be more likely Murad’s II concubine than Mehmed’s.
Anna Hatun — was a consort of Sultan Mehmed II. Her parents were Trabzon Greek emperor David Komnenos and Helena Kantakuzenos. The marriage was initially proposed by her father, but Mehmed refused. Nontheless when Trabzon was taken in 1461 Anna entered the harem and stayed there for two years after which Mehmed married her off to Zaganos Mehmed Pasha.

Is it true that between Mehmet II. and Süleyman I. no sultan had a consort in a classical sense (that is, a lawful wedded wife)? And what do you make of the claims that Selim I. and/or one of his brothers married a princess from Crimea?
Yes, it is true. One of Bayezid II's consorts was allegedly the niece of Sitti Mükrime Hâtûn, but her identity is not confirmed.
The story goes like this: Şehzade Mehmed, one of Bayezid II's sons, married this Crimean Princess - whom Alderson names Ayşe - but when he died, Selim I married her instead. Uluçay doesn't believe that this actually happened:
Alderson wrote that he [Selim I] had four wives, three of whom were named Ayşe, Hafsa, and Taçlı Hatun. He claimed that the last one's name was unknown. Even if he wrote that Ayşe was the daughter of the Crimean Khan, that she was married to Mehmed, Bayezid II's son, and that Selim married her upon Mehmed's death at a young age, it is not true. Because we know that during the reigns of Bayezid II and Selim I, Mehmed's mother and wife were paid and stayed in the Old Palace. — M. Çağatay Uluçay, Padişahların Kadınları ve Kızları
He goes on saying that on Hafsa Sultan's endowment deed for her pious foundation, she's called Ayşe so Ayşe and Hafsa are the same person after all.
Moreover, when Süleyman married Hürrem, it created such a scandal because it was perceived by everyone - Ottomans and foreigners - that sultans did not get married. This kind of proves that the last official marriage had been so in the past that nobody remembered it.
It could be that Şehzade Mehmed married the daughter of the Crimean Khan after all, but as he never succeeded his father on the throne, it is not an official marriage between a sultan and a foreign princess.

Sultan Bayezid II + harem and children
Consorts:
Ayşe Hatun (?? - 1512?): daughter of Alâüddevle Bozkurt Bey of the Dulkadir dynasty and possibly niece of Sitti Mukrime Hatun (consort of Mehmed II). She is usually given as mother of Selim I, but she was not. According to Alderson, she died in 1512.
Bülbül Hatun (?? - 1515): mother of Şehzade Ahmed and Hundi Sultan. She was a very charitable person, building a mosque complex in Ladik, another mosque, school and fountain in Amasya and a school in Bursa. When her son was executed by Selim I, she retired to Bursa where she built a tomb for him. She is buried next to her son.
Ferahşad Hatun (?? - after 1521): Şehzade Mehmed’s mother, she is variously called Ferruhşad or Muhterem. It is possible that her whole name was Muhterem Ferruhşad. Upon the death of her son in 1505, she retired to Bursa like it was customary for the mother of a deceased prince. She established a foundation in Silivri n 1521, so she must have died later.
Hüsnüşah Hatun (?? - after 1511): mother of Şehzade Şehinşah and Sultanzade. She followed her son first to Manisa and then to Konya. After Şehzade Şehinşah died, she settled in Bursa where she eventually died. She had built the Hatuniye Mosque in 1490 in Manisa during her son’s governorship there.

(Ayşe) Gülbahar Hatun (?? - 1505): mother of Selim I, she was a slave concubine and not a highborn princess as tradition maintains. She died in Trabzon during her son’s princely post and she was buried in the Hatuniye Tomb there.
Gülruh Hatun (?? - after 1520): mother of Şehzade Alemşah and Kamer Sultan. During the reign of Bayezid II, she used to correspond with him about their son: “My fortune-favored padishah, heed my cry for help, … rid us of [my son’s] tutor, teacher, and doctor. They are masters of corruption…. Send us good Muslims because our situation has been pitiful since these persons arrived. They have deprived me of my mother’s rights…. If these seven do not go, they will utterly destroy the household of my son, your servant”. Alemşah would die because of heavy drinking, and Gülruh Hatun retired to Bursa. She died in the early days of Süleyman the Magnificent’s reign and was buried in the Gülruh Hatun Tomb in the Muradiye Mosque.
Nigar Hatun (?? - 1503): according to Uluçay and Oztuna, she was the mother of Şehzade Korkut and Fatma Sultan. She followed her son first in Manisa and then in Antalya, where she died and was buried.

Mehmed II + harem and children
Gülbahar Hatun: she was a non-muslim slave who was converted after her arrival in the harem, since she was referred to as "Gülbahar Hatun binti Abdullah", which is how non-muslim concubines who were converted were called. In a document regarding the purchase of a place in Amasya, she’s called “the queen of queens, crown and praise of esteemed women, auspicious and benevolent Gülbahar Hatun binti Abdullah”. There is no agreement on her origins, Babinger says she was of lowly Slav origins; other historians think she was Albanian. She was the mother of Gevherhan Hatun and of the future Bayezid II. She signed her letters to her son as “Valide Hatun”, where she complained she didn’t see him enough. Bayezid II built a mosque in her honour in Edirne, which was destroyed in the 20th century. She died in 1492 and was buried in her mausoleum inside the Fatih Mosque.
Sitti Mükrime Hatun: she was the daughter of Dulkadiroğlu Süleyman Bey, the sixth ruler of Dulkadir State. After the second Kosovo victory, Murad II decided to establish an alliance with the Dulkadir State against the Karamanids. The wife of Hızır Ağa was sent to choose the bride and she decided on Mükrime, described as the most beautiful of Süleyman Bey’s daughters. The wedding celebrations lasted three months, no other wedding was celebrated for so long, but the marriage produced no children. Mehmed II and Sitti Hatun tranferred to Manisa, on Murad II’s orders. When Mehmed became sultan, they moved to Edirne and she continued to live there even after her husband had conquered Istanbul. After Mehmed’s death, she obtained permission from Bayezid II to build a mosque in Edirne. She died in September 1486 and was buried in a mausoleum built inside her mosque.
Çiçek Hatun: her origins are unknown. It is said she was Serbian, Greek, Venetian or even French. She was the mother of Ottoman claimant Sultan Cem, whom she gave birth to on 22 December 1459. It is not known the degree of influence she enjoyed during Mehmed II’s reign or if she was particularly favoured by him. She accompanied her son to Konya in 1474 and then to Cairo when he lost his battle for the throne against Bayezid II. Çiçek Hatun was her son’s most loyal ally and fought incessantly for him even during his captivity in Europe. She died in Cairo on 3 May 1498.
Gülşah Hatun: there is no information about her origins, she joined Mehmed’s harem when he was governor of Manisa. She gave birth to her only son Şehzade Mustafa in 1450 and followed him to Konya when he became governor of the province. The prince died on 25 December 1474 and she retired to Bursa afterwards, where she built a tomb for him. She died in 1487.
Anna Hatun: the daughter of Trabzon Greek emperor David Komnenos and Helena Kantakuzenos. Her father suggested the marriage but Mehmed II did not accept it. Nevertheless, when Trabzon was taken in 1461, Anna entered the harem and stayed there for two years, after which Mehmed II married her off to Zaganos Mehmed Pasha.
Helena Hatun: daughter of the Despot of Morea Demetrios Paleologos, Mehmed II asked for her after his campaign in Morea, having heard of her beauty. In the end he never bedded her because he was afraid she would poison him, and she died in Edirne before 1470.
Hatice Hatun: daughter of Zaganos Mehmed Pasha
Children:
Gevherhan Hatun: daughter of Gülbahar Hatun and thus full-sister of Bayezid II, she must have been born before 1448. She married Uğurlu Mehmed Mirza, son of Ak Koyunlu ruler Uzun Hasan Bey, in 1746, and had a son with him, Göde Ahmed Bey. Her husband was appointed governor of Sivas by Mehmed II but died only a year later, in 1477, assassinated. It is said that Sinan Paşa, who was very influential during Bayezid II’s reign, was married to the sultan’s own sister. It is possible that Gevherhan remarried after 1477 or that she had a sister. Her date of death is unknown but she died in Istanbul and was buried in the mausoleum of her mother.
Bayezid II (12.1447/1.1448 - 10.6.1512): son of Gülbahar Hatun, 8th sultan of the Ottoman Empire.
Şehzade Mustafa (1450 - 15.12.1474): son of Gülşah Hatun. Governor of Konya until his death. Had a son called Hali.
Şehzade (Sultan) Cem (22.12.1459 - 25.2.1495): son of Çiçek Hatun, governor to Konya after his brother Mustafa's death and claimant to the Ottoman throne after the death of Mehmed II. Father of Şehzade Murad, Şehzade Oğuz and a daughter who married firstly the Mameluke Sultan Nasir Mehmed and secondly Mustafa Bey (son of Sinan Paşa).
