Life

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

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.[8] Nigar's daily stipend consisted of 50 akçe (silver coin).[9] In late 1490s, she accompanied him to Manisa, [10] and then to Antalya in 1502.[11][1][6]

Death

Nigar Hatun died in March[11] 1503,[12] and was buried in her own mausoleum, which she had built in 1502, just a year before her death at Yivliminare Mosque, Antalya.[13][14][6]

After her death, Korkud made an endowment in the memory of his mother in a small town named Istanos on the Teke Peninsula.[11] In 1509-10, her daughter Fatma, also made an endowment at Eşrefoğlu Rûmî for the sake of her soul.[15]
