Fatma Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: فاطمه سلطان; 19 June 1879 – 23 November 1930) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Murad V and Resan Hanım.

Early life[]

Fatma Sultan was born on 19 June 1879, during the third year of her family's confinement in Çırağan Palace. Her father was Murad V, son of Abdulmejid I and Şevkefza Kadın.[1] Her mother was Resan Hanım.[2][3][4] She was the fourth child, and third daughter of her father and the eldest child of her mother. She had a sister, Aliye Sultan, one year younger than her.[5][4]

According to Filizten Hanım, she was calm, dignified, serious-minded, polite, and gentle. She spent an important part of her time in playing the piano and reading books in French.[4][6] After her father, Sultan Murad's death in 1904, her ordeal in the Çırağan Palace came to an end.[7]

Marriage[]

In 1907, Abdul Hamid arranged Fatma's marriage[8] to Karacehennemzade Refik Bey who was eight years her junior,[1][5] son of Faik Bey, and grandson of Ibrahim Ağa. The marriage took place on 29 July 1907 in the Yıldız Palace. The couple was given Esma Sultan Mansion located in Ortaköy as their residence.[3][4][9]

The two together had four children, twins Ayşe Hatice Hanımsultan and Sultanzade Mehmed Ali Bey born on 20 January 1909, Sultanzade Mehmed Murad Bey born in August 1910 and died on January 1911, and Sultanzade Celaleddin Bey born on 23 April 1916.[1][9]

At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, every person had to leave Turkey in ten days. Fatma Sultan who had measles that time was allowed to reside in Istanbul, until she recovered. She and her family left Turkey in September 1925 making them the last imperial family members to leave Istanbul. They settled in Sofia, Bulgaria.[9][4][3][5]

Death[]

Fatma Sultan died at the age of fifty one on 23 November 1930[10] in Sofia, Bulgaria, and was buried there.[4][5] Her husband outlived her by twenty-two years and died in 1952.[1]
