Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt
The origin of Pertevniyal Sultan is disputed. She was either a Kurd, or a Romanian, or a Circassian. She was the sister of Hoshiyar Qadin, the consort to Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt, and mother of his son Ismail Pasha, Khedive of Egypt and Sudan from 1863 to 1879. She married Sultan Mahmud, and was given the title of "Second Fortunate". She gave birth to her only son Abdulaziz on 8 February 1830.
