Nesrin Kadın[a] (Ottoman Turkish: نسرین قادین‎; c. 1848 – 11 June 1876) was the fourth wife of Sultan Abdülaziz of the Ottoman Empire.[1]

Early life

Nesrin Kadın was born in 1848 in Sochi, North Caucasus. She was a member of Ubykh princely family, Zevş-Barakay.[2] Her father was Prince Ismail Bey Zevş-Barakay (1812 – 1876),[3] son of Prince Vordezokue Bey Zevş-Barakay.[4] Nesrin had two younger brothers, Prince Hasan Bey (1850 – 1876),[5] and Prince Osman Pasha (1851 – 1892), aide-de-camp to Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[6] Her aunt was the wife of Ateş Mehmed Pasha.[2]

In 1859, the Circassian community gathered and a delegation was sent to Istanbul. The aim of the delegation was to present the Russian persecution in the Caucasus to Sultan Abdulmejid I. There were four chiefs who acted as representatives in the delegation including Nesrin's father, Ismail Bey. After they achieved their aim, Abdulmejid requested that the four chiefs stay in the Ottoman Empire, and gifted them with lands. Nesrin's father was given land in Silivri, after which her family settled in Istanbul.[2]

Marriage

Nesrin married Abdülaziz in 1868 at the Dolmabahçe Palace.[7] She was given the title of "Dördüncü Kadın".[8] The marriage was due to her father's efforts to establish political alliance with the Ottoman Empire.[7]

Nesrin gave birth to her first child, a son, Şehzade Mehmed Şevket on 5 June 1872.[9] On 24 August 1874, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter, Emine Sultan.[8] In 1875, she was given the title of "Üçüncü Kadın".[3]

Abdülaziz was deposed by his ministers on 30 May 1876, his nephew Murad V becoming the Sultan.[10] He was transferred to Feriye Palace the next day.[11] The women of Abdülaziz's entourage didn't want to leave the Dolmabahçe Palace. So they were grabbed by hand and were sent out to the Feriye Palace. In the process, they were searched from head to toe and everything of value was taken from them. Nesrin, who was seriously ill at that time, was carried on a stretcher to the caique, that was to take her to the Feriye Palace. Someone even snatched the shawl that was wrapped around her.[3][12] On 4 June 1876,[13] Abdülaziz died under mysterious circumstances.[14]

Death

Nesrin Kadın died seven days after Abdülaziz's death on 11 June 1876[3] at the Feriye Palace.[15] According to historian Alan Palmer, she apparently died in childbirth.[16] She was buried in the mausoleum of imperial ladies, located at New Mosque, Istanbul.[17]

Four days after her death, on 15 June 1876,[18] her brother, Hasan Bey attempted to assassinate a large number of ministers meeting at the mansion of Midhat Pasha.[19] He was tried, and executed on 18 June 1876.[20]

Issue

Nesrin Kadın and Abdülaziz had two children:

  • Şehzade Mehmed Şevket (Istanbul, Dolmabahçe Palace, 5 June 1872 – Istanbul, Ortaköy Palace, 22 October 1899), married and had issue;
  • Emine Sultan (Istanbul, Dolmabahçe Palace, 24 August 1874 – 29 January 1920, buried in New Mosque, Istanbul), married and had issue;
