Her father was Sultan Ahmed. Her mother is uncertain: Hanife Kad\u0131n or Zeyneb Kad\u0131n, two of her father’s consorts.[4] She was nicknamed B\u00fcy\u00fck Esma (Esma “the eldest“) to distinguish her by her niece K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck Esma (Esma “the younger“), daughter of Abd\u00fclhamid I.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4When she was four, her father was dethronized and she was confined, with her half-sisters, her mother and her father’s other consorts, in the Old Palace, until her marriage.Marriages[edit]In 1743, her cousin Sultan Mahmud I, arranged her marriage to Yakub Pasha. The marriage took place in February 1743 in the Kad\u0131rga Palace. Yakub Pasha died the same year. After his death, she married the governor of Adana, Yusuf Piri Mustaf\u00e2 Pasha. After his death in 1751, she married Muhsinzade Mehmed Pasha, a vizier on 24 June 1758 in the Kad\u0131rga Palace. Her served as the Grand Vizier between 1765 and 1768, and later again between 1771 until  his death in 1774. With him she had a daughter.She is said to be curious about the west. She received the wife and mother-in-law of the Baron de Tott, the Hungarian nobleman who served as military adviser to the Turkish government for many years. She discussed with them the liberty of European women, and expressed the dissatisfaction that married her at a young age to an old man who treated her like a child. The pasha having died, she then married a younger man more to her liking, but the practice of sending the princesses husband to distant governorships kept them apart.[7]Furthermore, Esma Sultan was very influential during the reigns of her half-brothers Mustafa III and specially Abd\u00fclhamid I, whom she was the favorite sister. It was she who reported to Abd\u00fclhamid that his Grand Vizier, Halil Hamid Pasha, was plotting to depose him in favor of \u015eehzade Selim.

Created in Ottoman Turkey, dated 30 May 1778Esma Sultan was among the wealthiest women in the Ottoman Empire, despite the rumor that she had a frugal personality.Esma Sultan had her crown states turned into m\u00e2likane contracts, which were divided among her prot\u00e9g\u00e9s, and managed by agents and subcontractors. The name of one of her male associates appeared as contractor in his own right.[8]Esma also complained that her late husband, Mehmed Pasha, had promised her the income from V\u00e2s\u0131f’s prebend from Anatolia. She accused him of stealing the grant, confiscated it, and transferred it to her own client. Because she was so close to the Sultan, and because V\u00e2s\u0131f lacked influential patrons, he couldn’t find anyone to intercede on his behalf, and was left without a job and income.[9]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Esma Sultan was allocated the mansion of Princess Han\u00e7erli Sultan in Ey\u00fcp Bahariye, which became famous with her own name. She also owned a waterfront palace in Ortak\u00f6y, and a farm in Terkos.Charities[edit]In 1779, Esma Sultan commissioned a fountain for the soul of her late husband, Mehmed Pasha, in her name near the namazgah in Kad\u0131rga Square. She also commissioned another fountain in her name in the same place in 1781.By her third marriage, Esma Sultan had a daughter:Zeynep Han\u0131msultan (1759 –\u00a0?)In addition, Esma educated the future Nak\u015fidil Kadin, who would later become a consort of  Abd\u00fclhamid I, and the mother and Valide Sultan of Mahmud II.Esma Sultan died on 13 August 1788 in the Kad\u0131rga Palace, and was buried in the mausoleum of Muhsinzade Mehmed Pasha in Ey\u00fcp.In popular culture[edit]In 2012 Turkish miniseries Esir Sultan, Esma is portrayed by Turkish actress Hande Kazanova.[13]See also[edit]Ancestry[edit]Ancestors of Esma Sultan (daughter of Ahmed III)References[edit]^ Sicil-i Osmani, Mehmet S\u00fcreyya Bey, Tarih Vakf\u0131 Yurt Yay\u0131nlar\u0131, ISBN\u00a0975-333-038-3 Istanbul, 1996.^  Akta\u015f, Ali (2008). \u00c7ELEB\u0130Z\u00c2DE \u00c2SIM TAR\u0130H\u0130: Transkripsiyonlu metin. pp.\u00a0164\u20135.^ Fanny Davis (1986).
