Introduction
Muhtereme Hatun (Ottoman Turkish: محترمه خاتون) was the Empress consort of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire.
Life
Muhtereme Hatun's son Şehzade Mehmed was born at Amasya, when Bayezid was still a prince. According to Turkish tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors as a part of their training. Mehmed was sent to Kefe and Muhtereme accompanied him.
Mehmed died in 1505 and Muhtereme retired to Bursa. She and Mükrime Hatun, wife of Şehzade Şehinşah, endowed the Eşrefzade Mosque at Iznik. She is buried in Muradiye Complex, Bursa.
