Valide Sultan (or Sultan Valide) (Ottoman Turkish: والده سلطان, literally "Mother Sultan") was the title held by the mother of a ruling Sultan in the Ottoman Empire. The Turkish pronunciation of the word Valide is [valiˈde]. The title is sometimes translated as Queen Mother, although the position of Valide Sultan was quite different.
