Ottoman Princesses named: Ayşe

Ayşe is the Turkish equivalent of the Arabic name A'isha, famous for being the name of the youngest wife of Prophet Muhammad. It is one of the most common names among Ottoman princesses and consorts.

[ottomanladies]

Why bidar kadin have more influence in ottoman politics than other wives of abdulhamid II? And then she exile in yildiz palace (I see on the series)

None of Abdülhamid II’s consorts had political influence during his reign. His daughter Ayşe said in her memoirs that he didn’t tolerate women “meddling” in politics after seeing what had happened to Abdülaziz and Murad V.

Never trust Payitaht Abdülhamid, that series is garbage and none of what they portray is true.

Was Abdul Hamid against Perestu sultan to be involved in politics because she was his step-mother, and not actual mother?

No, that was not the reason. His daughter Ayşe explains it in her memoirs:

“Father believed that by their meddling in the affairs of state, the mothers of Sultan Aziz and Sultan Murad had contributed not at all positively to the state and the dynasty, so that on the day after he was called to the throne he kissed his adoptive mother’s hand and said, “Not one day did you make me feel the loss of my own mother. As far as I am concerned you are no different from my own mother, and your rank is henceforth that of Princess Mother, with all the rights and authority that position holds in the palace. But I particularly request that you absolutely refrain from interfering in the aff airs of state by taking it upon yourself to protect this or that person, or trying to mediate on behalf of people hoping for a rank or a position.” And indeed Perestû Kadın remained true to Papa’s wish and command until the day she died. His consorts and his ikbals, as well as his daughters who married and established their own households in the city, always followed her example in this matter.” -- translated by Douglas Scott Brookes

[ottomanladies]

Why didn’t Rahime Perestu Valide Sultan have any children was she infertile or did she never consummate her marriage with Abdülmecid I.

Mmh I think the marriage was definitely consummated since Abdülmecid I basically begged his aunt to marry her. Also: “That evening, according to custom, the couple entered the bridal chamber, where Princess Esma kissed the bride and groom on their foreheads and said a prayer on their behalf, then returned to her villa, giving praise to God that she had lived to see such a magnifi cent wedding feast for her little girl.”

“[H]e chose the Fourth Consort, Perestû Kadınefendi, who ranked as the most estimable of his consorts, and who was known in the palace for her piety, serious-mindedness, and experience. The fact that the lady Perestû had no children of her own also lay behind his choice. One day Grandfather summoned Papa to his rooms where he sat him down and off ered him a wide range of advice, then took him under his cape to the apartments of the Fourth Consort. As he entered he said, “Look, my lady, what a beautiful child I have brought you,” and drew Papa out from under his cape. To Papa he declared, “From now on this is your mother. Now kiss her hand, my son,” while to his consort he said, “After God, I entrust him to you,” and also had her kiss her adoptive son. He admonished Papa to obey his new mother.”

Ayşe Sultan does not say why Perestu did not have children of her own.

On this day, 10 August, in Ottoman history

10 August 1854 - wedding of Fatma Sultan: daughter of Sultan Abdülmecid and Gülcemal Kadınefendi, she married Galib Paşa at Dolmabahçe Palace. With him she had Cemile Hanımsultan, who died in infancy. Galib Paşa died on 15 September 1858.

10 August 1862 - birth of Fatma Saliha Sultan: daughter of Abdülaziz and Senior Imperial Consort Dürrinev, she was Şehzade Yusuf İzzeddin Efendi’s younger sister. At the age of 13, she was betrothed to İbrahim Hilmi Paşa, son of the Khadive of Egypt, but when her father was deposed, Abdülhamid II broke the engagement. On 20 April 1889, she married Ahmed Zülküf Bey (later Paşa). Their only child, Kamile Hanımsultan, died at the age of 6. In 1924, when the Dynasty was expelled from Turkey, she first went to Rome, to Damascus and in the end settled in Cairo. She died in 1941 and was buried there, in the Abbas Hilmi mausoleum.

10 August 1916 - wedding of Fatma Ulviye Sultan: daughter of Mehmed VI Vahideddin and Senior Imperial Consort Nazikeda, she married Ismail Hakkı Okday Bey in Dolmabahçe Palace. On 4 June 1917, their only child, Suade Hümeyra Hanımsultan, was born. The couple would divorce in 1922.

10 August 1960 - death of Hamîde Ayşe Sultan: daughter of Abdülhamid II and Müşfika Kadınefendi, she was born on 2 November 1887 in Yildiz Palace. She is the author of “My father, Sultan Abdülhamid”, which she published under the name Ayşe Osmanoğlu. She married Dâmad Ahmed Nâmî Beyefendi in 1911, and had three children with him: Sultanzade Ömer Nami (1912), Aliyye Hanımsultan (1913), Sultanzade Osman Nami (1918). The couple divorced in 1921 when Ayşe met Lieutenant Colonel Mehmed Ali Bey at a banquet in Dolmabahçe Palace. He was married with children, though, so he first had to divorce his wife before he could marry the princess. His son from his first wife wrote in his memoirs that his mother couldn’t stop crying after the news. Nevertheless, Ayşe Sultan and Mehmed Ali Bey got married on 3 April 1921 in Yildiz Palace. A year later, she gave birth to Sultanzade Abdülhamid Rauf Bey. When the Dynasty was exiled, she moved to France with her family - where Mehmed Ali died in 1937 - until 1952, when she was admitted in Turkey again. She died at the age of 72 and she was buried in the Yahya Efendi Cemetery.

On this day, 3 April, in Ottoman history

3 April 1596 - death of Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Paşa: five-time Grand Vizier, he had been one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in the Ottoman Empire.

3 April 1598 - arrest of Grand Vizier Hadım Hasan Paşa: it was instigated by Safiye Sultan, who told her son Mehmed III that while he was at war, the Grand Vizier had several prostitutes thrown into the sea instead of ruling the city. (episode thus related by Sanderson: “The Queene Mother, with the Grand Sultana and other of the Grand Signiors women, walking in their serraglio espyed a number of boates upon the river ]the Bosphorus] hurrying together. The Queene Mother sent to enquire of the matter; who was told that the Vizier did justice upon certain chabies [kahpe]. that is, whoores. Shee, taking displeasure, sent word and advised the eunuch Bassa that her sonne [absent on canmpaign] had left him to govern the citie and not to devoure the women; commanding him to looke well to the other businesse and not to meddle any more with the women till his masters returne.”) He would later be executed in the Yedikule Fortress.

3 April 1624 - execution of Grand Vizier Kemankeş Kara Ali Paşa: Mustafa I’s last Grand Vizier, he retained his position at the beginning of Murad IV’s reign but was executed on trumped up charges.

The youngest Ottoman princess to become a mother?

The problem is sometimes we don't have exact dates of births so it is quite difficult to say. Nevertheless, this is what I have found:

Selçuk Sultan, daughter of Bayezid II: her first child, Sultân-zâde Gaazî Husrev Bey/Paşa, seems to have been born when she was fifteen 

Fatma Sultan, daughter of Selim II: her first (?) child, Sultân-zâde Ahmed Bey, seems to have been born when she was fifteen 

Gevherhan Sultan, daughter of Ahmed I: if we believe 1608 to have been her date of birth, it seems that she had a child at the age of 12. Taking into consideration the whole trend, twelve seems to be a little too early even for a princess. 

Hatice Sultan, daughter of Mehmed IV: her first child, Sultân-zâde Mehmed Bey, seems to have been born when she was sixteen. 

Fatma Sultan, daughter of Ahmed III: her only (?) child, Sultân-zâde Mehmed Bey, seems to have been born when she was fourteen 

Saliha Sultan, daughter of Ahmed III: her first child, Sultân-zâde Ahmed Bey, seems to have been born when she was fourteen 

Ayşe Dürrüşehvar Hanım, daughter of Abdülhamid I: her first daughter, Atıyyetullâh Hanım, seems to have been born when she was around fifteen 

Fatma Sultan, daughter of Abdülmecid I: her first child, Cemile Hanım-Sultân, was born when she was fifteen.

Mediha Sultan, daughter of Abdülmecid I: her only child, Sultân-zâde 'Abdurrahmân Sâmî Beyefendi, was born when she was fifteen

Without considering Gevherhan Sultan, which seems an anomaly but also could be the result of wrong information, it seems that the earliest that princesses gave birth was at the age of fourteen. Of course, we don’t have all the dates so there could have been earlier births.
