Life
Zübeyde Sultan was born on 28[1] or 29 March[2] 1728. Her father was Sultan Ahmed III,[3][4] and her mother was Emine Musli Kadın.[5] She had a full elder sister named Ayşe Sultan.[6]
Her father having been dethroned in 1730, she grew up at the Old Palace but was able to live in comfort,[1] as he had had the farmstead of Dilsiz Mehmed Ağa, situated near Edirne, and thus its incomes, allocated to her.[3][1]
Her cousin Mahmud I had a yalı, or waterfront manse, built for her at the precincts of Eyüp[3] in around August 1747.[4]
On 6 January 1748, during Mahmud's reign, Zübeyde was married firstly to Süleyman Pasha,[4][7] Beylerbey (governor – general) of Anatolia and Vizier, who, though, died soon after, some six months into the marriage.[8] Thus, she was married secondly, within the year, on 6 January 1749, to Numan Pasha,[4][9] kapıcılar kethüdası, or head of the Imperial Palace Guards, Sanjak-Bey (provincial governor) of Thessaloniki and Kavala, and Vizier.[3][8] Her husband would go on to serve in various other provincial posts, while Zübeyde continued to live at her house in Edirne.[8]
She had no known children.
Turkish historian Mustafa Çağatay Uluçay describes the princess as a "philanthropist, protector of the poor, who read day and night".[3]
