    About Meleksima Sultan

    Meleksima, a beloved concubine and later sultana of Sultan Osman II, reigned during his rule of the Ottoman Empire from 1618 to 1622. She bore Osman's first son, Şehzade Ömer, who tragically died in infancy from a stray bullet fired by a Janissary. Following this loss, Osman held Meleksima responsible and banished her from the palace.
