Editing Mahmud I (section)

== Family ==
There are eleven known consorts of Mahmud I, but he had no children by any of them (just as his heir, his younger half-brother [[Osman III]], who also remained childless), despite a reign of twenty-four years. This is why Sakaoğlu, a Turkish historian, speculates that Mahmud may have been castrated during his years of imprisonment in [[Kafes]].{{sfn|Sakaoğlu|2008|p=454}}

The known consorts of Mahmud I are:<ref>M. Çağatay Uluçay - Padişahların Kadınları ve Kızları</ref><ref>Yılmaz Öztuna - Devletler ve Hanedanlar Cilt 2</ref><ref>Necdet Sakaoünlar Sultan Kılkın</ref>
*Hace Ayşe Kadın. [[Kadın (title)|BaşKadin]] (first consort) until her death.{{efn|However, according to Oztüna, Alicenab was instead the BaşKadin, while Ayşe was the second Kadın.}} She built a school in Çörekçikapısı, near the [[Fatih Mosque]].

*Hace Verdinaz Kadın. She built a school and a fountain in Murâdpaşa and another fountain in Galata. The name ''Hace'' indicated that she had made the pilgrimage to Mecca by proxy.
