Contents

Life

She married Sultan Mehmed II in 1446 at Manisa.

Origin

There have been differing views of her origin. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun bint-i Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah), which means that her father was a convert to Islam. She was the real biological mother of Bayezid II.

  • Albanian origin.
  • Pontic Greek from Douvera in Trabzon.

    • Issue

    There are differing views of her issue:

  • She was mother of "Gevher-Han Sultan", who married the son of Akkoyunlu Sultan Uzun Hasan, "Şâh-Zâde Uğurlu Damad Muhammed Mirza Paşa" in 1474, and the adoptive/step-mother of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II.
  • According to some other sources, on the other hand, she was the real-biological mother of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II as well.

    • According to custom, Gülbahar got the highest position as Valde Hatun in the imperial family after the sultan himself when her son, Bayezid II, ascended the throne in 1481 until her death in 1492.

    In 2012 film, Fetih 1453, Gülbahar was portrayed by Şahika Koldemir.
