Düzdidil Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: دزددل قادین, from Persian دزد دل duzd-i dil meaning "thief of hearts"; c. 1825 – 18 August 1845) was the third concubine of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire.
Life[]
Düzdidil Kadın was born in 1825 in Russia She was sold as a slave and when she entered the harem her name was changed to Ayse according to custom.[1] She was presented to Abdulmejid by his mother, Bezmiâlem Sultan.[2] She married Abdulmejid in 1839, and was given the title of "Third Kadın".[3] On 31 May 1840, she gave birth to the Abdulmejid's first child and daughter, Mevhibe Sultan in the Old Çırağan Palace. The princess died on 9 February 1841.[4]
On 13 October 1841, she gave birth to twins, Neyyire Sultan[5] and Münire Sultan in the Old Beşiktaş Palace. The princesses died two years later on 18 December 1843.[6]
On 17 August 1843, she gave birth to her fourth child, Cemile Sultan in the Old Beylerbeyi Palace.[7] On 23 February 1845, she gave birth to her fifth child, Samiye Sultan[5] in the Topkapı Palace. The princess died two months later on 18 April 1845.[8]
Charles White, who visited Istanbul in 1843, wrote following about her:
The third...is cited as remarkable for her beauty, and not less so for her haughty and wayward disposition.[2]
. Duzdidil was hated by her fellow consorts because of her bad manners. She was very arrogant and treated everyone in the harem badly.
Death[]
Düzdidil had fallen victim to the epidemic of tuberculosis then raging in Istanbul. A luxuriously decorated prayer book was commissioned around 1844 for her. As was fitting for her position, the prayer book was lavishly ornate.[9]
She died on 18 August 1845, and was buried in the mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the New Mosque Istanbul.[3][1] Cemile Sultan was only two years old when Düzdidil died. She was adopted by another of Sultan Abdulmejid's wives, Perestu Kadın,[5] who was also the adoptive mother one of her half brothers, Sultan Abdul Hamid II.[10]
