Ayşe Athermelik Dürrüşehvar Hanım (Ottoman Turkish: عایشه درشھوار خانم; "womanly", "radiant angel" and "kingworthy pearl"; c. 1767  – 11 May 1831) was the eldest daughter of Sultan Abdul Hamid I of the Ottoman Empire.

Early life

[edit]

Dürrüşehvar Hanım was born in 1767 in Istanbul.[1] She was the daughter of Abdul Hamid I,[2] when he was still a prince. Since it was forbidden for the princes to have children before their accession to the throne. It means that she was to be killed. However, Abdul Hamid managed to take her out of Istanbul and hide her in safe place until he ascended the throne.[3][4][1]

Marriage

[edit]

When her father ascended the throne in 1774, she was taken back to Istanbul. Where Abdul Hamid told everyone that she is his daughter.[3][4] She however wasn't given the title of sultana, and thus she was considered as the adopted daughter of the sultan.[1]

In 1784, when Dürrüşehvar was seventeen, her father married her to Nişancı Ahmed Nazif Efendi, the son of Hacı Selim Ağa.[5] The marriage was held in Istanbul. The couple had two daughters, Atiyetullah Hanım and Zeynep Athermelik Hanım.[3][4][5]

Ayşe Dürrüşehvar lived a comfortable and delightful life until her father's death. In 1789, her husband and father in law were executed by Selim III when he became the Sultan due to some serous allegations, and she was widowed by his death. Like the princess of her generation she didn't remarry.[3][4][1]

Dürrüşehvar was responsible for transporting Nakşidil Sultan to Topkapı Palace as she became the new Valide Sultan.[6]
