Bezmiâlem Sultan

Bezmiâlem Sultan (fully Devletlu İsmetlu Bezmiâlem Valide Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân Hazretleri; 1807 – 2 May 1853) (Bezm-î Âlem or Bazim-î Âlam, meaning "feast of the world") was the second wife of Ottoman Sultan Mahmud II, and the mother of Sultan Abdülmecid I of the Ottoman Empire.

Her origins

The theories about the origin of Bezmiâlem are:

Majority of sources however note that she is either a Georgian Jew or Christian Georgian.

Alan Palmer writes that she was Georgian (perhaps Georgian Jew) but gives no original name.

Captain Charles White, a Briton who spent three years in Istanbul and knew Ottoman society well, in the 1840s mentioned that Besma Allem, mother to the reigning monarch Abdülmecid I, was a Georgian slave and was purchased and educated by Esma Sultan, a sister of Mahmud II. She was most probably an adoptive daughter of Esma Sultan like Rahime Perestu Sultan.
