Life
editHürrem was born Diana Ekaterina Nazimova, daughter of Aleksandr Nazimov and Maria Yefimova, on 6 December 1692 in Moscow, Tsardom of Russia. Diana received a good education as her family was well-off. In 1701 when Diana was 9, her hometown was attacked by Turks and Tartars who burned and looted the city. Among other locals, Diana was also kidnapped and sent as a slave to the sultan's harem. There, she caught the eye of Valide Gülnuş Sultan, who gifted Diana to her son, Ahmed III so that she became his consort.
Sultan Ahmed named her Hurrem (" The joyful one"), because of her resemblance to Haseki Hürrem Sultan, the legal wife of Suleiman the Magnificent. She was made the Fourth Kadın at the harem and gave birth to five known sons, who all died before reaching adulthood.[3] The Ottoman poet Şeyh Gâlib said that the Fourth Kadın of the sultan whose name was Hürrem bore him twelve children; ten sons and two daughters, but none of them survived to adulthood. However, Ottoman sources and harem documents only mention five sons. Hürrem was well-respected among her servants. She commissioned the construction of numerous mosques, baths, and fountains throughout the empire.
After Ahmed's death, Hürrem Kadın was exiled to the Old Palace along with her servants, as was tradition for the consorts of deceased Sultans. After her death on 25 June 1760, aged 67, she was buried beside her husband and children.
