On this day, 3 October, in Ottoman history: 

3 October 1843 - birth of Seniye Hanımsultan: daughter of Atiye Sultan (daughter of Mahmud II) and Rodosluzâde Dâmâd Ahmed Fethî Paşa, she was born in Kuruçeşme Palace. She married Hüseyin Hüsnî Paşa (son of Sırkâtibi-zâde Mustafa Paşa) in October 1859. Seniye Hanımsultan died on 10 December 1910 and was buried in the mausoleum of her grandfather, Mahmud II.

3 October 1852 - death of Tîr-i Müjgân Kadın: Third Imperial Consort of Sultan Abdülmecid and mother of Abdülhamid II, she was a Circassian from the Şapsığ clan. Her father was Bekhan Bey and her mother was Almaş Hanım; nothing else is known about her family. Since she was not aristocratic, it is possible that she had been given to palace service at a young age as a gift; nevertheless, Sultan Abdülmecid noticed her in 1840 and wanted to marry her. "[S]he had hazel green eyes, quite long, light brown hair, white, translucent skin, and a slender figure, thin waist, and lovely hands and feet", according to her granddaughter Ayşe. Tir-i Müjgan Kadınefendi gave birth to Naime Sultan in 1840, to the future Abdülhamid II in 1842 and to Prince Mehmed Abid in 1848. Both Naime Sultan and Mehmed Abid died in infancy. Tir-i Müjgan Kadın fell sick, maybe of tuberculosis, and died on 3 October 1852. She was buried in the New Mosque.

On this day, 11 February, in Ottoman history

11 February 1708 - birth of Ümmügülsüm Sultan; daughter of Ahmed III, she was the twin of Zeynep Sultan. She was engaged to Abdurrahman Paşa at an early age but he died before the wedding could be celebrated so she married Genç Ali Bey, the Grand Vizier’s nephew. They were married for six years and, in 1730, during the revolt of Petrona Halil,  Genç Ali Paşa was killed. Ümmügülsüm Sultan died two years later, at 24 years old.

11 February 1708 - birth of Zeynep Sultan; twin sister of Ümmügülsüm Sultan, she unfortunately died only 8 months later, on 5 October 1708. She was buried in the tomb of Turhan Hatice Sultan.

11 February 1824 - birth of Atiye Sultan; daughter of Mahmud II and Pirüzifelek Kadın, a three-day celebration was held to celebrate her birth. She was described as intelligent and talented and she supposedly was closest to her half-brother Abdülmecid, who was only 10 months older than her. According to Rıza and Galib, Atiye, in boy’s clothes, followed her brother Şehzade Abdülmecid outside where they heard Serasker (Koca) Hüsrev Paşa talk to the sultan. At 15 she lost her father and it was her brother Abdülmecid - now the sultan - who arranged her marriage to Ahmed Fethi Paşa. The wedding celebrations lasted a whole week and foreign diplomats were among the guests. The marriage produced two daughters: Seniye Hanım Sultan and Feride Hanım Sultan. Atiye Sultan died at the age of 26 on 11 August 1850, and was buried in her father’s mausoleum.

11 February 1854 - allegations that Nakşıdil Sultan is actually Aimée Dubuc de Rivery are renewed; inside La Turquie Actuelle, it is told that she was born in 1763 in Martinique, where she had a happy childhood. Her closest friend was Joséphine Rose de Tascher de la Pagerie, the future Empress Josephine of the French. One day the two girls met with a fortune teller who told them they would both marry important men. Aimée was told that she would be captured by pirates and that her child would become a great ruler. Aimée studied in a monastery in Nantes for eight years and while she was going home, her ship sank. She was saved by a Spanish ship but that fell under the control of pirates and Aimée was taken to Istanbul to the harem of the sultan.

11 February 1867 -  Mehmed Emin Âli Paşa is appointed Grand Vizier for the fifth and last time; one of the most prominent statesmen in the Ottoman Empire, he was the architect of the Ottoman Reform Edict of 1856. He served under Abdülmecid and Abdülaziz.

Refia Sultan (1842-1880), with Gülcemal Kadın: Mehmed V's elder sister. She was married to Dâmâd Mahmûd Edham Paşâ and had a daughter with him. Refia was extremely educated, like her sisters, as her father had insisted for them to be educated both in traditional and western subjects. Contrary to her younger sister Cemile, whom her father constantly lauded, Refia was a true spendthrift and her debts were staggering for just one person.

Hatice Sultan (1842-1842), with Gülcemal Kadın

Sultan II. Abdülhamid Han (1842-1918), with Tirimüjgan Kadın: 34th Ottoman Sultan, he was deposed by the Young Turks in 1909 and exiled to Thessalonika. None of his sons would ascend the throne.

Mehmed Ziyaeddin Efendi (1842-1845), with Nesrin Hanım:

Cemile Sultan (1843-1915), with Düzdidil Hanım: her mother died when she was 3, so she was raised by Rahime Perestu, future Valide Sultan. She was therefore very close to her older brother Abdülhamid II, who had been raised by Rahime Perestu as well. She married Dâmâd Mahmûd Celaleddîn Paşa in 1858, when she was fifteen. Her husband was the second son of Dâmâd Ahmed Fethî Paşa (husband of Mahmud II's daughter, Atiye Sultan) from his first wife. Fındıklı Palace was built for them. Together they had 6 children: Fethiye Hanım-Sultân (1859 - 1887), Sultân-zâde Besim Beyefendi (died at the age of 2), Sultân-zâde Sâkıb Beyefendi (1864 - 1897), Sultân-zâde Mehmed Mahmûd Celâleddîn Beyefendi (1864 - 1916), 'Ayşe Şıdıka Hanım-Sultân (1875 - 1937?), Fatma Hanım-Sultân (1879 - 1890)

Münire Sultan (1844-1862), with Verdicenan Kadın: she firstly married the son of the Egyptian Khedive, İbrahim İlhami Paşa, and the costly wedding ceremony attracted a lot of criticism because the Imperial Army had just been defeated in Montenegro. The marriage lasted only two years, as İbrahim İlhami Paşa died at only 24 years old. She therefore married Lieutenant General Dâmâd İbrahim Paşa, with whom she had a son: Sultân-zâde 'Alâeddîn Beyefendi (1861 - 1915?).

His daughter married Dâmâd Mehmed Sâlih Paşa in 1907 and had a son, Sultân-zâde Ahmed Kemâleddîn (Keredin) Beyefendi (1908-1987), clearly named after her father.

Atiyetullah Efendi (?-?)

Mehmed Fuad Efendi (died in infancy), with Nergizu Hanım: he was buried in the mausoleum of Refia Sultan

Behice Sultan (1848-1876), with Nesrin Hanım: she lost her mother at the age of 3 and contracted tuberculosis in childhood. She lived secluded all her life and her sisters Refia and Seniha always sent her letters to cheer her up, even though they knew that Behice's illness had reached the final stage by the time she had turned 20. In her letters, Behice came across as frustrated, jealous of her sisters' freedom and extremely sensitive. Her dowry had been prepared by her father but her illness always prevented her from getting married, even though that was her dream. Finally, her uncle Abdülaziz consented, and Behice married Dâmâd Halil Hamîd Beyefendi on 16 November 1876. Unfortunately, the princess died just 20 days later at the age of 28.

Celaleddîn Paşa wasn't particularly trusted by Abdülhamid II but was nevertheless appointed vizier. Seniha and her husband participated in the Ali Suavi Incident, actually a conspiracy to dethrone Abdulhamid II and re-instate Murad V, the failure of which - among other things - prompted Celaleddîn Paşa to leave the Ottoman empire and settle in Bruxelles. Together, they had two sons: Sultân-zâde Mehmed Sabâhaddîn Beyefendi (1877-1948) and Sultân-zâde Ahmed Lutfullâh Beyfendi (1880-1973). Her son Sabâhaddîn was a vocal critic of Abdülhamid II's regime and was actually the leader of a faction inside the Young Turks movement which advocated some of the same liberal principles of the CUP but instead favoured administrative decentralization and European assistance. At the time of the Dynasty's exile from Turkey, Seniha Sultan was the eldest princess alive. She lived with Mehmed VI in Sanremo until his death, then moved to Nice, where the last Caliph Abdülmecid II had settled down but was not in favour because she was part of the "Mecid branch" of the family. She spent her last years bedridden in a room inside the caliph's villa and Nice and died there in 1931. She was buried in the Sultan Selim Mosque in Damascus.

Mediha Sultan (1856-1928), with Gülistu Kadın: elder sister of Mehmed VI, she fell in love with the son of Sâmi Paşa and started corresponding with him. When Abdülhamid II found out, he sent Necib Bey at the embassy in Paris. Mediha was devastated: she would not drink, eat or sleep. Her step-mother Verdicenan asked Rahime Perestu Valide Sultan's help, and together they were able to convince Abdülhamid to let the princess marry Necib Bey, which she did in 1879. Mediha had a son with him, Sultân-zâde 'Abdurrahmân Sâmî Beyefendi (1880-1961), but her happiness was short-lived: her husband died in 1885 at the age of 29. In 1886, she married her second husband, Dâmâd Mehmed Ferîd Paşa, but had no children with him.

Naile Sultan (1856-1882), with Şayeste Hanım: she married Dâmâd Çerkes Kabasakâl Mehmed Paşa who, according to Ayşe Osmanoğlu, was a brother of Abdülhamid II's consort Bidar Kadın. They had no children. She was buried in the mausoleum of Murad V

The weather was inclement, and both Princesses were invited to plant cedars of Lebanon. Princess Margaret eventually did so - reluctantly - while the Princess of Berar performed her duty with her customary quiet dignity. Today Princess Margaret's tree struggles, while the Princess of Berar's thrives.” (from the Princess’ obituary on The Telegraph)
