| Summary: | Taceddin Seferiyye Hatun is the ex-concubine wife of Sultan Melikshah and mother of Mohammad Tapar and Sencer, the last two rulers of the Great Seljuk Empire. Giving birth to
Melikshah’s sons, she ascended to being an ummuveled, mother of children. This Seljuk lady
of Kipchak origin rejoiced in seeing both her sons advance to the throne following the death
of Sultan Berkyaruk and was one of the powerful women of the time. She had her own seat and treasure as the other wives of Melikshah. She also influenced the state affairs and possessed great esteem for her sons. She helped them get along well with each other through her
advices and warnings, and she provided her grandson Mahmood b. Mohammad Tapar to be
sent as the ruler of Iraq. Described as a generous and charitable lady, she built many charity
foundations in Merv and Nishapur. Seferiyye Hatun died in the beginning of his son Sultan
Sencer’s rule. There is no standalone study in the literature about this lady whom poet Muizzi
composed eulogies talking about her religiousness and character. This study evaluates the
information on Seferiyye Hatun in the sources. |
