Biography
Devlet Hatun was a concubine of Sultan Bayezid I and the mother of Sultan Mehmed I. Her origins are unknown.
Devlet is often confused with an other Bayezid's consort, Devletşah, due to similar names. The confusion is such that on Devlet's tomb (Devlet Hatun Turbesi in Bursa) are incorrectly indicated the origin and date of death of Devletşah, who was the daughter of Süleyman of Germiyan and died in 1414.
Devlet Hatun died instead on January 1422. During the Ottoman Integrum she supported her son, Mehmet Çelebi (Sultan Mehmet I), and became Valide Hatun in 1411.
Issue
Mehmed I (c. 1386 - 1421). He won the civil wars against his half-brothers (Ottoman Interregnum) and became Sultan.
