30/31 December 1673. The place was Hacıoğlupazarı, a not very large trading town in today’s Bulgaria that at the time was serving as the headquarters of the Ottoman army and the Ottoman sultan, Mehmed IV. Mah-Pare Ummatullah (Emetullah) Rabi’a Gul-Nus, a Greekfrom Crete who was such a favorite of the sultan’s that he brought her along with him on campaigns, gave birth to a second son who was named Ahmed. The Ottoman army had suffered a serious defeat at the Battle of Khotyn the previous month and the weather must have been atrocious, since the young concubine’s carriage got stuck in the mud and had to be dug out.
