Biography

Nevdür Hanımefendi was born in 1861 in Batumi, Georgia to a Georgian noble family. Born as Şadiye Nakaşvili, she was the daughter of Nakaşvili Rüstem Bey and his wife Fevziye Hanım.[2][3] In 1877, during the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78), her family emigrated from the Caucasus to Istanbul, where she was delivered at the court of the Ottoman Sultan. She was renamed Nevdür and was given a thoroughly Turkish and Muslim education in the harem department of Çırağan Palace. Receiving her education in the palace, Nevdür also went unto court service, became lady-in-waiting to Valide Sultan Şevkefza Sultan.

However soon, the Murad V took notice of Nevdür, and they married in 1880 in the Çırağan Palace, the Sultan's residence at the time. Nevdür spent twenty seven years confined in the Çırağan Palace along with her husband, Murad V, and the other members Murad's entourage.[4]

After Murad's death in 1904 she moved to Bursa, where she was living in the palace of her stepdaughter Fatma Sultan.[3] After the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate by the Parliament of the Republic of Turkey in 1924, Fatma Sultan went into exile in Nice, France.[3] As but an adjunct member of the Imperial family, Nevdür was not exiled, and so remained in Turkey. Nevdür returned to Istanbul and settled in Beşiktaş, where she died in 1927.
