Sineperver Sultan

Ayşe Sineperver Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: عایشه سینه پرور سلطان; c.1760 – 11 December 1828), also known as Ayşe Sineperver Kadın, was a consort of Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid I, and Valide Sultan to their son Sultan Mustafa IV of the Ottoman Empire.

Of Bulgarian origins, she was born around 1760 and her birth name was Sonya.

A victim of the Ottoman slave trade, Sineperver entered in the Abdul Hamid's Ottoman imperial harem as a slave concubine in 1774 and was given her the title of "Fourth Consort". In 1775, she was elevated to "Third Consort". On 8 December 1776, she gave birth to her first child, a son, Şehzade Ahmed, who died at the age of about two on 18 November 1778.

In 1778, she was elevated to "Second Consort". On 17 July 1778, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter, Esma Sultan. One year later, on 8 September 1779, she gave birth to her third child, a son, Şehzade Mustafa (future Mustafa IV). Afraid that he would become sick and die like her elder son, Ahmed, she called upon her Kethüda for prayers for him after his birth. She also ordered the prisoners, who were imprisoned due to their debts, to be released and their debts to be paid.

In 1780, she commissioned a fountain in Üsküdar near the Cedid Valide Mosque in memory of her son, Ahmed.

Two years later, on 12 December 1782, she gave birth to her third child, a daughter, Fatma Sultan, who died of smallpox at the age of three on 11 January 1786. Sineperver was widowed at Abdul Hamid's death in 1789, after which she settled in the Old Palace.

After the accession of her son after the deposition of Sultan Selim III on 29 May 1807, Sineperver became the Valide Sultan. Yusuf Agha, who had been a kethüda of Selim's mother Mihrişah Sultan was an intimate of Selim. He was persuaded and finally killed by the machinations of Kabakçı Mustafa in the uprising against Selim in 1808, after which his tax farm was given to Sineperver.

After reigning as the sultan for fourteen months, Mustafa was deposed as a result of an insurrection led by Alemdar Mustafa Pasha on 28 July 1808. He was later executed by order of the next Sultan Mahmud II. After his death, she retired, and devoted herself to her daughter, Esma Sultan. She apparently fell on hard times, for she wrote Sultan Mahmud a letter in which she asked him for a house to live in.
