Pertevniyal Sultan
Pertevniyal Sultan (, 1812 – 5 February 1883), was a consort of the Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, and valide sultan (queen mother) of their son, Sultan Abdulaziz. Early life The family lineage of Pertevniyal Sultan is disputed. She was most likely of Circassian origin. Her birthname was Besime. She was a close friend of Hoshiyar Qadin, consort to Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, and mother of his son Isma'il Pasha, Khedive of Egypt and Turco-Egyptian Sudan from 1863 to 1879. She became a consort of Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II when he casually noticed her working in a hammam in Istanbul, and was given the title of "Second Ikbal". She gave birth to a son, Şehzade Abdulaziz, on 8 February 1830. She may have given birth to a second son in 1833, Şehzade Nizameddin, but according to other sources, Nizameddin was instead the son of the consort Tiryal Hanım. As the mother of one of Mahmud's only two surviving sons, she was promoted to the rank of "Fifth Kadın". As Valide Sultan Abdulaziz's ac ...

Imperial Highness
Imperial Highness is a form of address used for members of an imperial family. It denotes ''imperial'' – as opposed to ''royal'' – status to show that the holder in question is descended from an emperor rather than a king (compare His/Her Royal Highness). It is typically used to address a prince or princess who is the child of the emperor and/or empress, or their spouse. Used with possessive pronouns such as his, her, or their, the title is abbreviated accordingly as H.I.H. or T.I.H. The first dynasty to use the style in Europe on the generic basis were the Romanovs in the eighteenth century; the archdukes and archduchess of the House of Habsburg were only styled as Royal Highness given the officially elective nature of the Holy Roman Empire. With the establishment of the Austrian Empire in 1804, the style of members of its imperial family changed to ''Imperial Highness''. Following the Austro-Hungarian compromise with its creation of two intertwined but distinct st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
