Söğüt, Turkey

Coordinates: 40.025453, 30.179253

Halime Hatun was the wife of Ertuğrul Ghazi and the mother of Osman I.

Her origins are unknown she is variously referred to as “Hayme Ana” and “Khaimah” in later legends, and is not mentioned at all in any historical Ottoman texts. Hayme Ana is also a traditional name of Ertuğrul’s mother.

Some recent legends described her as the mother of Osman I; however, historian Heath W. Lowry, among other Ottoman scholars, states that Osman I’s mother is unknown. The burial place of Halime Hatun, which was added in the late 19th century by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, is located in the garden of the Ertuğrul Gazi’s grave in Söğüt, present-day Turkey.
