Resan Hanım (Ottoman Turkish: رسان خانم 28 March 1860 – 31 March 1910) was the eighth wife of Sultan Murad V of the Ottoman Empire.

Biography[]

Resan Hanım was born on 28 March 1860 in Artvin in the Caucasus.[1][2] She had a foster sister named Şayeste Hanım.[3] She and her foster sister were presented to Murad by the Senior Kalfa as a gift on the occasion of his accession to the throne. After his deposition, she followed him into confinement in the Çırağan Palace.[3]

She married Murad on 2 November 1877[4] in the Çırağan Palace when Murad was thirty-seven years old and Resan was seventeen years old, a year after Murad and his family's imprisonment in the palace. On 19 June 1879, a year after the marriage, she gave birth to Fatma Sultan,[1] followed by Aliye Sultan, born on 24 August 1880. Aliye died on 17 September 1903.[5][6]

She was widowed at Murad's death in 1904, after which her ordeal in the Çırağan Palace came to an end.[7] She died on 31 March 1910 at the age of fifty,[8] and was buried in the mausoleum of Damat Mehmed Ali Pasha in Eyüp Cemetery, Istanbul.[9][10]
