Nigar Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: نکار خاتون; died March 1503) was a consort of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire.

Life[]

Nigar married Bayezid when he was still a prince, and the governor of Amasya. She gave birth to three children, a son, Şehzade Korkut in 1467 or in 1469,[1][2][3] and daughters, Fatma Sultan[4][5][6] and Ayşe Sultan.[7] With Korkud's birth, she acquired a greater status within the royal household.[8]

According to Turkish tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors as a part of their training. Korkud was first appointed to Tire in 1483. The mother and son, along with his newly formed retinue were provisioned in Grand Vizier Ishak Pasha's palace.[9] Nigar's daily stipend consisted of 50 akçe (silver coin).[10] In late 1490s, she accompanied him to Manisa, [11] and then to Antalya in 1502.[12][1][6]

Death[]

Nigar Hatun died in March[12] 1503,[13] and was buried in her own mausoleum, which she had built in 1502, just a year before her death at Yivliminare Mosque, Antalya.[14][15][6]

After her death, Korkud made an endowment in the memory of his mother in a small town named Istanos on the Teke Peninsula.[12] In 1509–10, her daughter Fatma, also made an endowment at Eşrefoğlu Rûmî for the sake of her soul.[16]
