Gülçiçek Hatun
Gülçiçek Hatun ( ota, كلچیچك خاتون; el, Γκιουλτσιτσέκ Χατούν, ''Gülçiçek'' = "rose blossom"; originally named ''Μαρία,'' ''Maria'') was a Greek woman from Bithynia who became the first wife of Ottoman Sultan Murad I and ''Valide Hatun'' to their son Bayezid I. Biography According to a tradition, Gülçiçek was the consort of Aclan Bey, one of the Princes of the Anatolian Muslim Principality of Karasids. She was captured when Orhan conquered the principality ( 1344) and placed in the Ottoman Palace. Some years later, when Orhan's son Murad had reached adulthood, an attempt was made to marry Gülçiçek, but she refused several names suggested to her, until Murad suggested himself.

There is a support for this story, or part of it at least, in the fact that she appointed her son Yahşi as trustee for an endowment deed she made for a Dervish Monastery, as Murad had no son of this name.

Devlet Hatun
Devlet Hatun ( ota, دولت خاتون; 1361 – 23 January 1414) was the wife of Sultan Bayezid I, and the mother of Mehmed I of the Ottoman Empire. Biography Devlet Hatun was the twelfth and last wife of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and the mother of Bayezid's successor, Mehmed I. Although the sign at her tomb says that ''Devlet'' was the daughter of a Germiyanid (i.e. Turkic) prince, she was ethnically of non-Turkish origin. Since both Devlet Hâtun and Devletşah Hatun died in 1414, she is frequently confused with Devletşâh Hâtun, the daughter of Süleyman of Germiyan. Devlet Hatun died on 23 January 1414 and was buried at the Devlet Hatun Tomb in Bursa.

Imaret
Imaret, sometimes also known as a ''darüzziyafe'', is one of a few names used to identify the public soup kitchens built throughout the Ottoman Empire from the 14th to the 19th centuries. These public kitchens were often part of a larger complex known as a ''külliye'', which could include hospices, mosques, caravanserais and colleges. The imarets gave out food that was free of charge to specific types of people and unfortunate individuals. Imarets were not invented by the Ottomans but developed under them as highly structured groups of buildings.
