Early life

Şehzade Mehmed Selaheddin was born on 5 August 1861 in the Dolmabahçe Palace, in Beşiktaş. His father was Sultan Murad V, son of Sultan Abdulmejid I and Şevkefza Kadın, and his mother was Reftarıdil Kadın.[2] He was the eldest child, and only survived son of her father, and the only child of her mother. His birth violated the rules of the time, which required Ottoman princes not to have children before ascending the throne, but Murad got an exception from his uncle Sultan Abdülaziz, who had once done the same and didn't care much for that rule. Later, Murad had other four child before to became Sultan: Şehzade Süleyman, Şehzade Seyfeddin, Hatice Sultan and Fehime Sultan.[3]

After Abdulmejid's death in 1861, and the accession of his brother Sultan Abdulaziz, Murad became the crown prince. His family lived in a mansion in Kurbağalıdere, which was allocated to him by Abdulaziz. They used to spend their winters in the crown princes apartments located in the Dolmabahçe Palace and the Nisbetiye Mansion.[4]

Selaheddin was circumcised in 1870. Other princes who were circumcised along with him included, his uncles, Şehzade Selim Süleyman, Şehzade Mehmed Vahideddin (future Mehmed VI), sons of Sultan Abdulmejid I, Şehzade Yusuf Izzeddin, Şehzade Mahmud Celaleddin, sons of Sultan Abdulaziz, and Sultanzade Alaeddin Bey, son of Münire Sultan, daughter of Abdulmejid.[5]

Selaheddin's early education took place in the Prince's School, Dolmabahçe Palace, where his tutor was Süleyman Agha. After graduating from the Prince's School, he was enrolled in the Ottoman Military College.[6]

Confinement

Murad's deposition

Selaheddin's father, Sultan Murad accended the throne on 30 May 1876, after the deposition of his uncle Sultan Abdulaziz.[7] His family then settled in the Dolmabahçe Palace. After reigning for three months, he was deposed on 30 August 1876,[8] due to mental instability and was imprisoned in the Çırağan Palace. Selaheddin was removed from the military college.[9] He and his mother followed Murad into confinement.[10] At that time he was fifteen years old.[11] His apartments were located on the ground floor of the palace.[12]

Ali Suavi incident

On 20 May 1878,[13] an attempt was made to liberate Murad from the Çırağan Palace and restore him to the throne. Murad's brothers, Şehzade Ahmed Kemaleddin and Şehzade Selim Süleyman, and sisters, Fatma Sultan and Seniha Sultan, and her husband Mahmud Celaleddin Pasha were involved in the plot.[14] They all wanted to see the rightful Sultan on the throne.[13] During the incident Ali Suavi, the radical political opponent of Abdul Hamid's authoritarian regime stormed the palace with a band of armed refugees from the recent Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878).[13] Selahaddin evaded the guards, and followed his loyal servant, Tirendaz Kalfa, to the battleship Mesudiye that was anchored offshore the palace to take him and Murad to announce his accession.[15] Murad didn't reached the battleship,[16] but Selahaddin did.[17] Ali Suavi's men were unable to overcome the fierce resistance of the Beşiktaş police prefect, Hacı Hasan Pasha.[18] The plot failed, and Ali Suavi and most of his men were killed.[19] Selaheddin then returned to the palace.[20] In the aftermath, security at the Çırağan Palace was tightened.[21]

Life in confinement

 
Çırağan Palace, where Selaheddin and his family were confined by Sultan Abdul Hamid for twenty-eight years until Murad's death in 1904

Rifat Pasha, who had been appointed to treat the people of Murad's entourage, proposed Selaheddin to teach him a bit about medicine. Selaheddin gladly accepted his proposal. The two of them decided to say that Selaheddin was suffering from some illness. Rifat Pasha then began to come to the palace frequently, first treating whoever might really be sick before shutting himself up in a room with Selaheddin and working with him. Rifat Pasha would dictate the important things to Selaheddin, who wrote them down and then sat and memorized them at night. Selaheddin's study of medicine in this way proved to be quite useful, for the day came when he even treated his father himself.[22]

After Şevkefza Kadın's death in 1889, Murad focused all his love and attention on his children. Selaheddin became his companion in grief, and the two of them passed long hours together reminiscing about bygone days as well as speculating on the future. For some time father and son took an interest in the Mesnevi, spending hours reciting verses from that work and taking great pleasure in doing so.[23] During this time Selaheddin also wrote a diary which give an account of the daily life of the imprisoned members of his father's immediate family and their retinue.[24]

Personal life

While Murad V's daughters were finally allowed to marry only on the condition that they never return to Çırağan Palace and therefore never see the family again, Salaheddin was allowed to have his own harem inside the Palace.

His first consort was Dilaviz Hanım,[25] also known as Dilâru.[26] She was a Georgian or a Laz, and was taken before the age of two by a well-to-do family from Batumi, among whom she grew up in Istanbul. She had been in Albania, Syria, and Batumi region. In 1874, she came to Istanbul with her own mistress, and was sold with her own consent when she arrived at the palace of Mahmud Celaleddin Pasha, husband of Princess Seniha Sultan.[25] At the accession of Sultan Murad in 1876, she was presented to the palace along with nine other girls by the pasha.[27] She was given to Selaheddin.[28] They married on 13 March 1877. She was the mother of Ayşe Beyhan Sultan, born in 1878.[25] Soon after she contracted Tuberculosis,[25] after which she was transferred to the Malta Pavilion in Yıldız Palace.[29] She died on 29 June 1880, and was buried in Yahya Efendi Cemetery.[30]

She had three brothers, Hüseyin Bey, Ömer Bey, and Şehabeddin Bey, and one sister named Nasibe or Hasibe Hanım.[33] She began her service in the palace as a kalfa in the entourage of Sultan Murad in or before 1876.[32] They married on 3 December 1878.[34] She was the mother of Celile Sultan, born in 1882, Rukiye Sultan, born in 1885,[35][36] Adile Sultan, born in 1887, Şehzade Mehmed, born and died in 1889,[36] and Emine Atiye Sultan, born in 1891.[37] She died on 8 April 1896, and was buried in Yahya Efendi Cemetery.[32][38]

His third consort was Zeliha Vasfıcihan Hanım.[39] She was presented to the palace by Mahmud Celaleddin Pasha at the accession of Sultan Murad in 1876 along with nine other girls.[27] She was given to Selaheddin's grandmother Şevkefza Kadın.[28] They married in February 1879. She was the mother of Şehzade Livaeddin, born in 1880. The two divorced in 1882,[34] after which she went to live in Orta Pavilion in Yıldız Palace. She remained there for four months, until she was assigned to live in Medina, and was given a monthly stipend of 500 piasters. However, she was not paid the pension and instead worked in a sewing workshop. She then went to Hejaz, and came back to Istanbul in 1909.[40]

He had aged before time, and the allowance provided to him by the government after the second constitution in 1908, didn't fulfilled his financial crisis.[55] He died on 29 April 1915 at the age of fifty three, having outlived his father by a mere eleven years and leaving two sons and four daughters.
