Biography
Little is known about Jamal Nur's early life. She was born in Caucasus in 1850. She was a young woman when she was captured during one of the raids and sold into slavery. She entered as a concubine in the Harem of Isma'il Pasha,the Khedive of Egypt. The Khedive married her in 1869. She later converted to Islam. Jamal Nur Kadinefendi was very pretty, though her legs were short. She was very frivolous, always laughing and joking, and when she walked in the garden with everyone, she could never resist in taking off her shoes and stockings to paddle in the basins of the fountains. She even lifted up her skirts so high that one could see the frills of her pantalettes. She was the one who gave a slightest twinge to Neshedil Kadinefendi, another consort of Isma'il Pasha. She gave birth to Prince Ali Jamal ud-din Pasha in 1875. She was elevated to the rank of Kadinefendi, literally meaning consort.
Jamal Nur died in 1876, one year after giving birth to her son. Her cause of death is unknown, although most likely she suffered from birth complications, and this led to her death.[1] She died at Cairo, in 1876, and was buried there at the Khedival Mausoleum, Al-Rifa'i Mosque.[2]
