Şehzade Abdullah (c. 1525 – c. 1528) was an Ottoman prince (şehzade), as the son of Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and of Hurrem Sultan,[1] as Suleiman and Hurrem were in a monogamous relationship by the time of his birth.[2][3] He was born around 1525 in Topkapi Palace, the Ottoman Empire and died due to a disease, possibly smallpox, in Constantinople, around 1528.[3][2]
