Life

Bülbül Hatun married Bayezid when he was still a prince and the governor of Amasya. After Mehmed the Conqueror's death in 1481, she came to Istanbul, and the same year, she followed her elder son, Şehzade Ahmet when he was appointed the governor of Saruhan, and then to Amasya.

She built and endowed a mosque and a soup kitchen in Ladik. At Amasya, she built another mosque, a school and a fountain. In Bursa she had endowed and built a religious college. After Şehzade Mahmud's death in 1507, she built a tomb for him in Amasya.

After the death of Şehzade Ahmed in 1513, Bülbül Hatun came to Bursa. She built a tomb for Ahmed, in which she was too buried at her death in 1515.
