Nazperver Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: نازپرور قادین; c. 1870 – c. 1930; meaning "Breeder of grace"[1]) was the fourth wife of Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire.[2][3]

Life[]

Nazperver Kadın was born in 1870.[4] She married the then-Prince Mehmed Reşad as his fourth wife.[2] She didn't bore Mehmed any children.[4] On 27 April 1909, after Mehmed's accession to the throne,[5] she was given the title of "Fourth Kadın". Upon the death of Dürrüaden Kadın in October 1909, Nazperver was elevated to the title of "Third Kadın".[2][3]

After the declaration of Ottoman Empire's entry in World War I in 1914, women who took part in several organisations. During this time, Nazperver also took part in the Women's Organisation for National consumption (Turkish: İstihlak-ı Milli Kadınlar Cemiyeti).[6] The purpose of the organisation was to promote the use of locally produced goods.[7]

Safiye Ünüvar, a teacher at the Palace School, who met her in 1915, described her as being plump, and tall.[8] According to Ünüvar, Nazperver did not appear particularly learned, but she did have a refined and kindly air about her that made a good impression. She also speculated that having no children weighed heavily upon her, despite the fact that the Sultan treated her most kindly and graciously, and so she lived out her life in this rather downhearted fashion.[9]

On 30 May 1918, Nazperver met with the Empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma in the harem of Yıldız Palace, when the latter visited Istanbul with her husband Emperor Charles I of Austria. During the Empress's visit, she liaised with her in French.[10]

Nazperver and Dilfirib Kadın, Mehmed's fifth wife were with him,[11][12] when he died on 3 July 1918.[13] After Mehmed's death Nazperver settled in a mansion at Vaniköy.[3] At the exile of the imperial family in March 1924, Nazperver as being the adjunct member of the family decided to stay in Istanbul. She died in 1930.[4]
