Life
editZübeyde Sultan was born on 28[2] or 29 March[3] 1728. Her father was Sultan Ahmed III,[4][5] and her mother was Emine Musli Kadın (called also Muslıhe, Muslu or Musalli).[6] She had a full elder sister named Ayşe Sultan.[7]
Her father having been dethroned in 1730, she grew up at the Old Palace but was able to live in comfort,[2] as he had had the farmstead of Dilsiz Mehmed Ağa, situated near Edirne, and thus its incomes, allocated to her.[4][2]
Her cousin Mahmud I had a yalı, or waterfront manse, built for her at the precincts of Eyüp[4] in around August 1747.[5]
On 6 January 1748, during Mahmud's reign, Zübeyde was married firstly to Süleyman Pasha,[5][8] Beylerbey (governor – general) of Anatolia and Vizier, who, though, died soon after, some six months into the marriage.[9] Thus, she was married secondly, within the year, on 6 January 1749, to Numan Pasha,[5][10] kapıcılar kethüdası, or head of the Imperial Palace Guards, Sanjak-Bey (provincial governor) of Thessaloniki and Kavala, and Vizier.[4][9] Her husband would go on to serve in various other provincial posts, while Zübeyde continued to live at her house in Edirne.[9]
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".[4]
Death
editZübeyde Sultan died of natural causes at the age of twenty-eight,[9] on 4 June[5] 1756.[11] She was entombed in the Imperial Ladies Mausoleum, located at Yeni Mosque, Istanbul.[4][5][9]
