Biography
Little is known of Şirin’s early life. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah) which means that she was a harem concubine converted to Islam or her father was possibly a Christian who converted to Islam. Bayezid married her in 1464 at Amasya. When Bayezid was still a şehzade ("Ottoman prince") and the governor of Amasya, she gave birth to Bayezid's first son, Şehzade Abdullah in 1465 and later to a daughter Aynışah Hatun.
In 1481 Abdullah was sent to Manisa (then known as Saruhan) and in the same year to Karaman, and Şirin accompanied him.
After the death of Şehzade Abdullah at his provincial post, Şirin came to Bursa in 1483. In retirement she occupied herself with pious works. She built a "Hatuniye Mosque" located inside Trabzon Castle and endowed a religious college in Trabzon, and then she also built a tomb for Abdullah, in which she was too buried at her death.
