Mahidevran grandchildren

Mahidevran Hatun died on this day, February 3, With this post, I would like to present Mahidevran's biography on the occasion of the rd anniversary of her death. Mahidevran may have been born between and in today's Albania or Montenegro. Her original name and family, as can be said for the other concubines, are unknown. The fictions that Mahidevran was a member of a Circassian ruling family are not true.

Mahidevran sultan real name

The sources clearly state that she came from a Christian family and came to the Ottoman harem as a slave like anyone else. Although many people raise the possibility that she is of Circassian origin, this is the least likely theory, and the princess theory is simply fiction. A woman named Melike Chimay claims to be a descendant of Mahidevran and has unfortunately convinced a lot of people with fake documents.

Mahidevran's descendants after her granddaughter are not known, like the families of most executed princes, Mahidevran's are also lost in history. So let's not believe these claims, this theory of origin is a fiction that has been completely rejected by historians. Every girl in the harem was given a new Muslim name, most of them were of Persian origin and all had some meaning the concubines were given their new names based on their external or internal features.

She was named Mah-i-Devran of Persian origin, which means "eternal beauty" , "whose beauty never fades" , "Moon of fortune".

Mahidevran sultan child

She certainly did not have more children, this is also confirmed by the sources. A document has been preserved from the harem of Manisa, which details all the harem ladies, kalfas and servants who lived in the harem. Mahidevran, unlike the other women, did not receive the pay due to mothers before , which suggests that she did not give birth until
