Şirin Hatun (before 1450 - after 1500,[1]) (Şirin meaning "Cute, Sweet, Pleasant, Gentle, delicate") was the second wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II and the mother of Şehzade Abdullah and Aynışah Sultan.[2]
Biography
Little is known of Şirin’s early life. The Ottoman inscription (vakfiye) describes her as Hātun binti Abdullah (Daughter of Abdullah) which means that she was a harem concubine converted to Islam or her father was possibly a Christian who converted to Islam.[1][3][4] Bayezid married her in 1464 at Amasya.[1] When Bayezid was still a şehzade ("Ottoman prince") and the governor of Amasya, she gave birth to Bayezid's first son, Şehzade Abdullah in 1465, which followed by the birth of Aynışah Sultan in 1490.[1]
In 1481 Abdullah was sent to Manisa (then known as Saruhan) and in the same year to Karaman, and Şirin accompanied him.[5][5]
After the death of Şehzade Abdullah at his provincial post, Şirin came to Bursa in 1483.[5] In retirement she occupied herself with pious works.[5] She built a "Hatuniye Mosque" located inside Trabzon Castle and endowed a religious college in Trabzon, and then she also built a tomb for Abdullah, in which she was too buried at her death.[5]
