Bidar Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: بیدار قادین; 5 May 1855 – 13 December 1918; Bidar meaning "Attentive" in Persian) was the fourth wife of Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire.[1]

Early life[]

Of Circassian origin,[2][3] Bidar Kadın was born on 5 May 1855.[4] She had a brother named Çerkes Mehmed Pasha.[3][5][6] Her mother belonged to the Georgian noble family, Lortkipanidze.[7] She was also related to a certain Prince Hüseyin Bey Inalipa.[5]

Marriage[]

Bidar married the then-Prince Abdul Hamid in 1875.[4] In late 1875, or early 1876, she became pregnant with the couple's first child. After Abdul Hamid's accession to the throne following the deposition of his elder brother Sultan Murad V, on 31 August 1876,[8] she was given the title of "Fourth Kadın".[2][1]

Bidar who was pregnant at that time, gave birth to her first child, a daughter, four days later on 3 September 1876. The child was named Naime Sultan,[9] whom Abdul Hamid called "my Accession daughter."[10] In 1877, Bidar and other members of the imperial family settled in the Yıldız Palace,[11] after Abdul Hamid moved there on 7 April 1877.[12] Here she gave birth to her second child, a son, named Şehzade Mehmed Abdülkadir, on 16 January 1878.[13] In 1879, she was elevated to "Third Kadın".[2]

Bidar was noted of not wanting Abdul Hamid to have relations with other women, and this made her constantly jealous of the others.[14]

On 30 September 1889, she met with the German Empress Augusta Victoria in the harem of the Yıldız Palace, when the latter visited Istanbul with her husband Emperor Wilhelm II.[15] In 1895,[2] she was elevated to "Second Kadın".[1] In October 1898,[16] she again met Empress Augusta Victoria in the grand salon of the Imperial Lodge of the Yıldız Palace, when the latter visited Istanbul for a second time with her husband.[17]

On 27 April 1909, Abdul Hamid was deposed, and sent into exile in Thessaloniki.[18] Her brother Mehmed Ziya Pasha followed him. She, however, remained in Istanbul, and settled in a mansion in Erenköy.[19] After Thessaloniki fell to Greece in 1912, Abdul Hamid returned to Istanbul, and settled in the Beylerbeyi Palace, where he died in 1918.[20]

Death[]

Bidar Kadın died on 13 December 1918 at the age of sixty three, of a disease related to intestinal inflammation, ten months after the death of Sultan Abdul Hamid.[14] She was buried in the mausoleum of Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin, Yahya Efendi Cemetery, Istanbul.[1][21]
