Rabia Bala Hatun (died January 1324[1] birth name Rabia) was the wife of Ottoman Sultan Osman I. She was the daughter of the famous Sheikh, Edebali and the mother of Alaeddin Pasha of the Ottoman Empire.[2]
Names
Edebali's daughter is called by different names in the sources, Rabia and Bala, suggesting that these may have been the names of other wives.[3] Sheikh Edebali's daughter is referred to as "Rabia" in the history of Uruc, and as "Malhun" in those of Aşıkpaşazade and Neşri.[3] The latter tradition has proved dominant, and Orhan's mother Mal Hatun, the daughter of Ömer Abdülaziz Bey, is commonly thought to be Sheikh Edebali's daughter.[3]
Marriage to Osman
The marriage of Osman and Rabia Bala Hatun occurred in 1289.[3] From the central government records regarding the property she received at the time of her marriage; the village of Kozağaç in the district of Belicik, where the dervish hospice of her father was located.[3] Edebali was an influential religious leader in the Ottoman territories.[3]
Death and burial
She died in 1324. Although, she preceded her husband, Osman, she was buried with her father in Belicik..[3]
