She was the French second spouse of Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III, and the mother of Mustafa III[2][3].
Emîne Mihr-î-Şâh[4] was born as Janet in France. However, she was never Valide Sultan to her son because she died in 1732, twenty-five years before Sultân Mustafa III's accession to the Ottoman throne.[5] Mehr-î-Shâh means "Sun" (lit. compassion, endearment, affection, and clemency) and "Sultân".
The resting place of Amina Mihr-i Shah is located at the tomb of Turhan Hadice Vâlide Sultân inside The New Mosque in Eminönü, Istanbul.
