Life
Mahmud married Aşubcan in 1810, and was given the title of "Fifth Consort". On 16 June 1811 she gave birth to Saliha Sultan in the Topkapı Palace.[1] Traditional birth ceremony was arranged in the imperial harem, which was attended by Mahmud's mother, wives, and sisters. On this occasion Valide sultan Nakşidil Sultan presented Aşubcan with presents.[2] She was followed a year later by, Şah Sultan, born on 22 May 1812, who died at the age of two in September 1814.[3]
She was then elevated to the title of "Fourth Consort", and later to the title of "Third Consort".[4] In 1834, her daughter married Damat Gürcü Halil Rifat Pasha, and went to live in Fındıklı Palace.[5]
After Mahmud's death in 1839, his son Sultan Abdulmejid I ascended the throne. Aşubcan moved to live in the Beşiktaş waterfront Palace, and later in Çamlıca,[6][4] and Maçka Palaces. In 1843 her daughter also died.[7] In 1861, after the death of Abdulmejid, his half-brother Sultan Abdulaziz ascended the throne. Aşubcan often wrote letters to both of her stepsons, and was even visited by them at her palace.[8][9][4]
