Abstract
Kanuni Sultan Süleyman’ın eşi Mahidevran (Gülbahar) Sultan, Şehzade Mustafa’nın annesidir. Tarihimizin en acı sayfalarından biri olan şehzadenin babası tarafından boğdurularak öldürülmesi olayı edebiyatımızda en duygulu mersiyelerin yazılmasına sebep olmuştur. Mahidevran Sultan, oğlunun öldürülmesinden sonra beraberinde bulunan maiyetiyle birlikte Bursa’ya gönderilmişti. Bursa’da acı ve ıstırap dolu günler geçiren sultan, günlük yiyecek ihtiyaçlarını teminde bile sıkıntılara düşmüş, oturduğu evin kirasını on yıl boyunca ödeyememiş, daha sonra padişahın emri ile bu ödemeler yapılmıştır. Şahsi bütün mal varlığını sadaka ve oğlunun türbesi için harcayan bu hayırsever kadın, maiyetinde bulunan yirmi hizmetçi ve kölenin azat edilmesini vasiyet etmiştir. Ölümünden sonra bir ıtıknâme düzenlenmiş ve köleler bir hayır anlayışı içerisinde özgür bırakılmıştır.
