Biography

Emîne Mihr-î-Şâh was born as Jeannette in France. However, she was never Valide Sultan to her son because she died in 1732, twenty-five years before Sultân Mustafa III's accession to the Ottoman throne. Mehr-î-Shâh means "Sun" (lit. compassion, endearment, affection, and clemency) and "Sultân".
