Biography

Jamal Nur Kadinefendi was very pretty, though her legs were short. Jamal Nur 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 basin 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.[1] She died at Cairo, in 1876, and was buried there at the Khedival Mausoleum, Al-Rifa'i Mosque.[2]

Children

Together with Isma'il Jamal Nur had a son:[3]
