Life

Emetullah Sultan was born in 1701 in the Edirne Palace. After her father's deposition in 1703 when she was two years old, she settled in the Old Palace in Istanbul.[1][2]

In 1720, her uncle Sultan Ahmed III arranged her marriage to Osman Pasha.[2] Known by at least four different nicknames—Silâhdâr, Çerkes, Küçük, Sinek—Osman Pasha had risen from serving as a sword-bearer to her father, and had been previously married to Rukiye Sultan, a daughter of Fatma Sultan, who in turn was a daughter of Sultan Mehmed IV.[1][3] The marriage took place on 9 September 1720 in the Old Palace.[4]

The two together had a daughter, Hibetullah Hanımsultan,[2] who married Hacı Ali Pasha, and died in 1744. Emetullah was widowed at Osman Pasha's death in 1724.[5]

Emetullah Sultan died on 19 April 1727, and was buried in the mausoleum of New Mosque, Istanbul.[6][2]
