Hatice Halime Hatun |
Hatice Halime Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: خديجة حليمة خاتون; before 1415, Devrekani - after 1500) was the wife of Sultan Murad II.
Hatice Halime Hatun was born as a Jandar princess, the daughter of Taceddin Ibrahim II Bey, the eighth ruler of the Isfendiyarids. She was the granddaughter of the previous ruler, Izzeddin İsfendiyar Bey and subsequently the niece of Mehmed the Conqueror's mother Hüma Hatun. She was the sister of Kemaleddin Ismail Bey and Kızıl Ahmed Bey (Ahmed the Red), the ninth and tenth rulers of the dynasty.
Sultan Murad II married Hatice Halime around 1425, at Edirne, giving in marriage two of his sisters, Selçuk Hatun to Halime's father and Sultan Hatun to Halime's brother, Kıvameddin Kasım Bey. On the same occasion he also married his five other sisters, Hatice, Fatma, Hafsa, İIaldı and Şehzade Hatun as well. By this dynastic union, Murad established an alliance with a powerful tribe against his most formidable enemy in Anatolia, the Karamanid Türkmen, who blocked the expansion of the Ottomans to the east. The good relations were preserved during the reign of the next sultan Mehmed II who endowed members of the dynasty with mülks in the region of Plovdiv and Didymoteicho, later transformed into waqfs.
In 1425, Hatice Halime gave birth to her first son Şehzade Alaeddin Ali. When Alaeddin came of age Murad made him provincial governor of Manisa. He was transferred to Amasya after the death of his elder brother, Ahmed. In 1435 Murad married Mara Branković. In the beginning Mara was warmly accepted, and Hatice Halime who was the Sultan's favourite wife, was expelled from the court and sent to Bursa. It seems that something occurred at the Ottoman Porte between the autumn of 1435 and spring of 1436. It was during this time that Mara fell out of favour and was exiled while Hatice Halime was once again returned.
