Zeynep Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: زینب سلطان‎; 8 April 1714 – 25 March 1774) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Ahmed III.

Birth

Zeynep Sultan was born on 8 April 1714 in the Topkapı Palace. Her father was Sultan Ahmed III.[1]

First marriage

In 1728, Zeynep Sultan married (Küçük) Sinek Mustafa Pasha,[2] the nephew of the grand vezir Nevşehirli Damat Ibrahim Pasha, and the second head of the royal stables at the time. The wedding ceremony took place at the Topkapı Palace. On 8 December Zeynep's trousseau was sent to her palace known as Kıbleli Palace and the next day the wedding procession took place.[3][4]

Second marriage

After the death of Mustafa Pasha in 1764, Zeynep Sultan in 1765 married Melek Mehmed Pasha, who had previously served as the grand admiral of the Ottoman fleet, during the reign of her half-brother Mustafa III. Melek Mehmed Pasha served as the Admiral of the Fleet for two times and was made grand vizier in 1792.[5][6]

In 1769, Zeynep Sultan endowed a mosque at Eminönü known as "Ruh-i Sultaniye Mosque". A school and a fountain build near the mosque is also part of the foundation.[5][7] Today it is called Zeynep Sultan Mosque.[8]
