Halime Hatun (, "the patient/gentle one") was, according to Ottoman folklore, the wife of ErtuÃÂrul (the 13th century) and the mother of Osman I.
Her origins are unknown. She is sometimes referred to as "Hayme Ana" in later legends, and is not mentioned at all in any historical Ottoman texts. Hayme Ana is also a traditional name of ErtuÃÂrul's mother.
Historian Heath W. Lowry, among other Ottoman scholars, states that Osman I's mother is unknown. The burial place of Halime Hatun, which was added in the late 19th century by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, is located in the garden of the ErtuÃÂrul Gazi's grave in SöÃÂüt, present-day Turkey. According to historian Cemal Kafadar, the 19th century "recovery" and "rebuilding" of this tomb by the Sultan, with the name added later, was politically motivated. Additionally, according to author Turgut Güler, "Hayme Ana", buried in Domaniç, was most likely the wife of ErtuÃÂrul.
Esra Bilgiç appeared as Halime Hatun in the Turkish TV series '. In the show, she is depicted as a Seljuk princess and the wife of Ertugrul and mother of his sons,including Osman I.
