Biography
Devlet Hatun was a slave concubine[2] of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and the mother of Bayezid's successor, Mehmed I.
Devlet is often confused with an other Bayezid's consort, Devletşah, due to similar names. The confusion is such that on Devlet's tomb (Devlet Hatun Turbesi in Bursa) are incorrectly indicated the origin and date of death of Devletşah, who was the daughter of Süleyman of Germiniyan and died in 1414.[1]
Devlet Hatun died instead in 1422.[5]
Issue
- Mehmed I (c. 1386 - 1421). He won the civil wars against his half-brothers (Ottoman Interregnum) and became Sultan.
