Gülcemal Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: کل جمال قادین; c. 1826 – 15 December 1851) was the sixth wife of Sultan Abdulmejid I, and the mother of Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire.[1]
Early life[]
Of Bosnian origin,[2] Gülcemal Kadın was born in 1826.[3] She had one sister named Bimisal Hanım.[4][5] She was also related to Sabit Bey, who became Master of Robes to her son Sultan Mehmed Reşad, and his sister, the Sultan's Sixth Hazinedar, Nevfer Kalfa.[6][7]
Marriage[]
Gülcemal married Abdulmejid in 1840, and was given the title of "Third Ikbal". On 1 November 1840, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter, Fatma Sultan in the Old Beşiktaş Palace.[8][9]
In 1842, she was elevated to the title of "Second Ikbal". On 3 February 1842, she gave birth to her second daughter, Refia Sultan in the Old Beşiktaş Palace.[10][9]
In 1843 she was elevated to the title of "Fifth Kadın". On 2 November 1844, she gave birth to her third child, a son, Şehzade Mehmed Reşad (future Mehmed V) in the Old Çırağan Palace. In 1845, she was elevated to the title of "Fourth Kadın".[11][9]
Death[]
She died of tuberculosis[3] on 15 December 1851 in Istanbul.[12][13] She was never Valide sultan to her son, because she died before Mehmed Reşad's accession to the Ottoman throne.[14] She is buried in the mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the New Mosque Istanbul.[3]
All the three of her children were adopted by Servetseza Kadın, first wife of Abdulmejid.[8][15]
Legacy[]
The ocean liner SS Germanic (1874) was renamed Gul Djemal when she entered the Ottoman service in 1911, in memory of Gülcemal Kadın.[16] When the ship was sold yet again, this time to Turkiye Seyrisefain Idaresi, it was renamed Gulcemal.[17]
