Fatma Pesend Hanım (Ottoman Turkish: فاطمہ پسند خانم; born Princess Fatma Kadriye Achba; c. 1876 – April 1928) was the twelfth wife of Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire.

Early life[]

Fatma Pesend Hanım was born in 1876 in Achba Mansion, Horhor, Istanbul. Born as Fatma Kadriye Achba, she was a member of Abkhazian princely family Anchabadze. Her father was Prince Ahmed Sami Bey (1839 – 1915),[1] the son of Prince Ahmed Bey and Patıma Hanım Eşba.[2][3] Her mother was Princess Fatıma Hanım Mamleeva (1844 – 1923), the daughter of Tatar prince Ismail Bey Mamleeva.[1] She had an elder sister Princess Ayşe Mahizer Hanım (1871 – 1948), and a younger brother Prince Şükrü Bey (1878 – 1940).[3] She was a painter by avocation.[4]

Marriage[]

Fatma's father Sami Bey was in service to Sultan Abdulaziz's eldest son Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, and later to Abdul Hamid's eldest son Şehzade Mehmed Selim.[1] One day in 1896 Abdul Hamid happened to see her, when the latter came along with her mother and elder sister to Yıldız Palace on an invitation of Prince Selim's mother, Bedrifelek Kadın. Abdul Hamid enquired about her, and came to know about her from his son Selim.[5]

Abdul Hamid asked her hand in marriage from her father. He consented to Abdul Hamid's proposal, and the marriage took place on 20 July 1896 at the Yıldız Palace.[5] She was given the name "Fatma Pesend", and the title of "Fourth Ikbal".[6][7] On 10 June 1897, a year after the marriage, she gave birth to her only child, Hatice Sultan, who lived only eight months.[8]

Hatice's early death in 1898 prompted Abdul Hamid to order the construction of a modern hospital in Istanbul exclusively for the treatment of children and pregnant women.[9] The construction of the hospital started on 12 May 1898 and was completed on 5 June 1899. It was called "Hamidiye Etfal Hastahane-i Âlisi", and was completely Abdul Hamid's creation and totally under his supervision.[10]

Ayşe Sultan, her step-daughter, notes in her memoirs that whenever Dilber Cenan Hanım, Abdul Hamid's wetnurse, visited the palace, she would stay as a guest in Fatma Pesend's household.[11]

On 27 April 1909, Abdul Hamid was deposed, and sent into exile in Thessaloniki.[12] Fatma Pesend was closed to Abdul Hamid, and so accompanied him to exile.[4] However, in 1910, a year later, she returned to Istanbul.[6] After Thessaloniki fell to Greece in 1912, Abdul Hamid also returned to Istanbul, and settled in the Beylerbeyi Palace, where he died in 1918.[13]

Last years and death[]

At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Fatma Pesend remained in Istanbul. She died in her villa at Vaniköy,[14][4] in April 1928 at the age of fifty-two,[7] and was buried at Karacaahmet Cemetery at Üsküdar.[6][7]
