Gülcemal Kadın (Ottoman Turkish: کل جمال قادین) (c. 1826 – 15 December 1851) was a consort of Sultan Abdülmecid I. She was the mother of Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire.
Life
Gülcemal Kadın was born in 1826 in the Bosnia Eyalet.[1] Her actual name is unknown.[2] At a young age Gülcemal and her sister Bimisal entered the Imperial Harem.[1] She married Abdülmecid in 1840 at Topkapı Palace. She gave birth to three children, including Mehmed V. All the three of them were adopted by, Servetseza Kadın, first wife of Abdülmecid.
She died on 15 December 1851 in Ortaköy, Istanbul[3] However, she was never Valide Sultan to her son, because she died before Mehmed Reşad's accession to the Ottoman throne.[4] Her cause of death was tuberculosis. She is buried in the Mausoleum of the imperial ladies at the Yeni Mosque Istanbul.
