On this day in Ottoman history, Zübeyde Sultan, daughter of Ahmed III, died:

Zübeyde Sultan was the younger daughter of Ahmed III and Emine Musallî Kadın (or Musli Kadın), her elder sister being Ayşe Sultan "the younger", and was born on 28 March 1728.

Her father was deposed when she was 2 years old, so she grew up in the Old Palace. On 6 January 1748, she married Karaalizade Süleyman Paşa, head of the Palace guards of Edirne Palace. Her husband died six months after the wedding, so Zübeyde Sultan married Numan Paşa on 16 December 1749, who was appointed governor of Thessaloniki and Kavala and vizier on the occasion.

She was granted the Dilsiz Mehmed Ağa farm in Edirne by her father and a mansion in Eyüp by her cousin Mahmud I. She was a pious woman, careful to avoid worldly pleasures; in the month of Ramadan she helped the poor and fed and clothed orphans and widows.

Zübeyde Sultan died at the age of 28 on 4 June 1756 in Istanbul and was buried in the New Mosque.

On this day, 4 June, in Ottoman history

4 June 1756 - death of Zübeyde Sultan: daughter of Ahmed III and Musli Kadın, she was two when her father was deposed and so she grew up in the Old Palace. On 6 January 1748 she married Karaalizade Süleyman Paşa, governor of Anatolia, but her husband died only six months later. On 6 January 1749 she married Numan Paşa, who was appointed governor of Thessaloniki and Kavala. The princess lived in Edirne, in the property that her father Ahmed III had bestowed upon her, while her husband travelled around the empire between his provinces and the divan. Zübeyde Sultan fell sick and died at only 28 years old, on 4 June 1756. She was buried in the Yeni Mosque.

4 June 1848 - death of Esma Sultan “the younger”: daughter of Abdulhamid I and Ayşe Sineperver, she was the elder sister of Mustafa IV. She was 11 years old when her father died so it fell upon her cousin Selim III to find her a husband. He chose Küçük Hüseyin Paşa, whom she married on 15 December 1792. After her marriage she was known as “Kapudanpaşa Sultanı” (Kapudanpaşa being the title of her husband). Her palace became the centre of Istanbul society and the daughters of Mustafa III Şah, Beyhan, and Hatice Sultan were regulars. Esma Sultan was widowed at the age of 25 but chose not to remarry agian. She was extremely influential in the enthronement of her brother Mustafa IV and the deposition of their uncle Selim III. Nevertheless, she became close to her half-brother Mahmud II too, who cherished her as his favourite sister and basically granted her total freedom in her life. It is said that even the son of King Louis-Philippe of France was attracted to the dazzling princess, whose clothes and jewels were always sought-after by rich women in the capital. Esma Sultan survived her brother Mahmud II and saw the reign of her nephew Abdülmecid. When she died, at 70 years old, she was not buried with her father but with her favourite brother, Mahmud II.

4 June 1876 - death of Abdülaziz: after the coup that put Murad V on the throne, the former sultan and his family had been moved from Topkapi Palace to Çırağan Palace on June 1st. On the evening of June 4th, he asked for a pair of scissors to adjust his beard. The following morning a servant found him dead in the room, his wrists slashed with the little scissors used for his beard. Even though his death seemed suspicious, both foreign and Ottoman physicians examined his body and they all concluded that he had committed suicide.
