Rabia Sultan (Turkish pronunciation: [ɾabiˀa suɫtʰan]; Ottoman Turkish: رابعه سلطان; "spring", died 14 January 1712) was the Haseki Sultan of Sultan Ahmed II of the Ottoman Empire. She was the last woman to have the Haseki title. ^[1]

As imperial consort

Her origin is unknown, but the consorts of the Ottoman sultans were by custom normally concubines who came to the Ottoman Imperial harem via the Ottoman slave trade.^[2]

Since, Muazzez Sultan, the mother of Sultan Ahmed had died in 1687^[3] before his accession to the throne in 1691, when Rabia became the Ahmed's favorite she assumed the position of the highest ranking female member of the royal family^[4] with the title of "Senior Consort".^[5]

On 6 October 1692, she gave birth to twin sons, Şehzade Ibrahim and Şehzade Selim, in the Edirne Palace.^[6]^[7] Following their birth, Ahmed presented her the mansion of Bayburtlu Kara Ibrahim Pasha located in Kuzguncuk.^[1] Şehzade Selim died in May 1693.^[8]

On 11 November 1692, she was given the title of "Haseki Sultan". Rabia was the last woman in history to have this title: after Ahmed II death, the mains consorts of next Sultans were entitled as Kadın, a non exclusive and less prestigious title.^[9] Kara Mustafa Pasha, who had been executed in 1683, had left a large amount of assets which had been enlisted in the imperial treasury. In December 1692, diamond froggings from these assets ended up on Rabia's fur coat. She also received a diamond crown from the same assets.^[10]

In January 1694, Rabia attended the wedding of Ümmügülsüm Sultan, daughter of Mehmed IV, and Silahdar Çerkes Osman Pasha.^[11] On 23 October 1694, she gave birth to her third child and only daughter, Asiye Sultan.^[12] Following her birth, Ahmed granted her lands in Aleppo.^[12]^[13]

Gevherhan Sultan, daughter of Sultan Ibrahim, and Rabia's sister-in-law, is understood to have been in great debt, as is demonstrated by Topkapı Palace archives dating 28 November 1694, a substantial amount of which was owed to Rabia.^[14]

Some of the debts mentioned were covered by the allocation of Gevherhan's grants from her hass, that is revenue-producing estates to Asiye Sultan, the infant daughter of Ahmed and Rabia,^[15]^[16] as shown in archives dating 1 December 1694.^[14]

Widowhood and death

Rabia was widowed following Ahmed's death in February 1695. On 7 March, her son Şehzade Ibrahim, was put in the care of Valide Sultan Gülnuş, whereas she and her daughter Asiye were sent to the Old Palace in Istanbul,^[17] where Asiye died in December 1695.^[12]^[18]

Rabia Sultan died on 14 January 1712 in the Old Palace, and was buried beside Ahmed II in the mausoleum of Suleiman the Magnificent, Süleymaniye Mosque, Istanbul.^[12]^[19]^[20]

Her son, Şehzade Ibrahim, who became heir apparent in 1703, after Sultan Ahmed III's accession to the throne, outlived her by two years, dying in 1714.^[21]

Issue

Together with Ahmed, Rabia had three children, two twins sons and a daughter:

Şehzade Ibrahim (Edirne Palace, Edirne, 6 October 1692 – Topkapı Palace, Istanbul, 4 May 1714, buried in Mustafa I Mausoleum, Hagia Sophia), twin with Selim, became Crown Prince on 22 August 1703;
Şehzade Selim (Edirne Palace, Edirne, 6 October 1692 – Edirne Palace, Edirne, 15 May 1693, buried in Sultan Mustafa Mausoleum, Hagia Sophia), twin with Ibrahim;
Asiye Sultan (Edirne Palace, Edirne, 24 August 1694 – Eski Palace, Bayezid, Istanbul, 9 December 1695, buried in Suleiman I Mausoleum, Süleymaniye Mosque);^[12]
