Şehzade Ahmed Nureddin (Ottoman Turkish: شہزادہ احمد نورالدین; 22 June 1901 – December 1944) was an Ottoman prince, the son of Sultan Abdul Hamid II and his wife Behice Hanım.

Early life[]

Şehzade Ahmed Nureddin was born on 22 June 1901 in the Yıldız Palace.[1][2][3] His father was Abdul Hamid II, son of Abdulmejid I and Tirimüjgan Kadın. His mother was Behice Hanım,[4][5] daughter of Albus Bey Maan[6] and Nazli Hanım Kuçba. He had a twin brother, Şehzade Mehmed Bedreddin who died in childhood in 1903.[4] He was the fourteenth child, and sixth son born to his father.[1] He was named after his decreased uncle, Şehzade Ahmed Nureddin (1852 – 1884).[3]

On 27 April 1909, Abdul Hamid II was deposed, and sent into exile in Thessaloniki.[7] Nureddin, however, remained in Istanbul.[8] He and his mother first settled in with his eldest half-sister Zekiye Sultan, then in his maternal grandparents house in Beşiktaş,[9] and finally settling in the Maslak Palace in 1911.[3] After Thessaloniki fell to Greece in 1912, Abdul Hamid also returned to Istanbul, and settled in the Beylerbeyi Palace, where he died in 1918.[10]

Education and career[]

In October 1902 he was registered in the Ertuğrul cavalry regiment. In December 1908, her was enrolled in the Ottoman Military College.[11] In March 1915, he was enrolled in Galatasaray High School.[12] In 1916, he was sent to Germany, where he studied at the Potsdam Military Academy.[13][9] He went onto serve as Cavalry Lieutenant in the imperial Ottoman army.[3][9]

He had learned music from Arenda Pasha. He was also a composer and painter.[3]

Personal life[]

Nureddin's only wife was Ayşe Andelib Hanım. She was born on 2 August 1902 in Adapazarı.[5][14][15] Her father was Hüseyin Hüsnü Pasha Akintsba (1860 – 1915),[15][16] and her mother was Fatma Şadiye Ezerakın (1868 – 15 August 1937). She had two brothers, Mahmud Celaleddin Akıncıgil, who was a kethüda to her mother-in-law Behice Hanım,[17] and Mehmed Sadreddin Özerakin, and one sister, Hatice Kudsiye Özerakin.[18] The two first met at the Yıldız Park, while Andelib was collecting donations for the Hilal-i Ahmer Association.[9]

They married on 5 May 1919 in the Maslak Palace.[5][19] At the exile of the imperial family in 1924, she followed her husband to Paris, France, where she gave birth to the couple's only child, a son, Şehzade Mehmed Bedreddin, who died young in Paris.[20] After the prince's death in 1944, she returned to Turkey.[21] In accordance to the Surname Law, she took the surname "Özerakin".[22] She died on 15 July 1980 in Dutluk Sokağı, Beşiktaş, Istanbul,[16] and was buried in Kulaksız cemetery, Sütlüce.[23]

Life in exile and death[]

At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Nureddin, his wife, and his tutor Halil Bey settled in Naples, Italy. He was later joined by his mother and brother-in-law, Celaleddin Bey.[9] On 14 January 1925, he gave the power of attorney to Sami Günzberg, a well-known Turkish Jewish lawyer, authorising him to regain from usurpers buildings, lands, mines, concessions left by Abdul Hamid situated in Turkish territory and elsewhere.[24]

When they ran out of money, they made a living by selling his mother's or wife's jewelry. His maternal grandmother also used to send a small amount of money from time to time. However, with time it became difficult to making a living, and so he went to Paris find work. During this time he lived with his elder half-sister Şadiye Sultan. Unable to find a suitable job, he made a living by playing piano and drums for three or five kuruş in cafes.[9] He died in December 1944, and was buried in Bobigny cemetery.[1][3][5]
