#efendi hatun

Oh God Thank you, you see the show kurulus osman had the the character of eftendise in the show but many in the fandom said that she was fictional so I was worried. On another note in the show they also made her the mother of Suleyman Pasha. Is that that part fictional

So, Uluçay says that Süleyman Pasha was Nilüfe's son, and therefore Murad's elder full brother, but Peirce is not convinced:

Nilüfer is traditionally thought to have been the mother of two of Orhan’s sons, Süleyman and Murad, the latter of whom succeeded his father. Nilüfer was indeed Murad’s mother, as the inscription on the public soup kitchen he built for her in İznik (Nicea) testifies. However, it is possible, indeed likely, that she was not the mother of Süleyman, the most celebrated of Orhan’s sons during the sultan’s lifetime, until his untimely death through a fall from his horse. Nilüfer does not appear as a signatory to the endowment deed of 1324, and in fact she may not yet have joined Orhan’s family. The traditional date for Murad’s birth is ca. 1326, when Orhan already had three sons (including Süleyman), all at least in their late teens and old enough to act as legal witnesses; the age gap between Süleyman and Murad was considerable (a reliable guess is approximately twenty years). If Nilüfer was not the mother of Süleyman, we are then faced with the question of who was: a likely candidate is Efendi/Eftendize. (The Imperial Harem, pp. 34-35)

In the note she explains why Efendi/Eftendize could be Süleyman Pasha's mother:

This is the hypothesis of Kepecioğlu (Bursa Kütüğü, 10-11), who bases it on the fact it was common for Turkish families of this period to name their children after their (the children’s) grandparents; Süleyman had a daughter named Eftendize, as his younger brother Murad, son of Nilüfer, had a daughter named Nilüfer. (The Imperial Harem, p. 296, n. 24)

Hi is efendise hatun Consort of orhan I a real person

Hi! Efendi/Eftendise Hatun was real: she appeared in an endowment deed in 1324 as one of four female witnesses. According to Peirce,

the hierarchical order of the signatories suggests that two of the four female witnesses—Melek and Efendi—were wives of Orhan (the other two were Fatma Khatun, Orhan’s sister, and Mal Khatun)

Efendi, called Eftendise, was also present in a land grant. Still according to Peirce, Efendi could have been Orhan's cousin, the daughter of Gündüz, Orhan's uncle:

In the endowment deed published by Uzunçarşılı (“Gazi Orhan Bey Vakfiyesi”), Efendi is listed as the daughter of Akbaşlu. This was the name, or probably the lakab (nickname), of Orhan’s uncle, and it is on this basis that Uzunçarşılı concludes that Efendi was Orhan’s cousin; further possible evidence is that Süleyman’s daughter Efendi, probably named after her mother, had a son named Gündüz, who was probably named after this ancestor. Uzunçarşılı is not aware that Efendi/Eftendize was Orhan’s wife.

According to Uluçay and Oztuna, Efendi was one of Orhan's consorts and the daughter of Mahmut Alp.

Beyazid I + his consorts and Orhan I + his consorts if you don't mind

Orhan:

Asporça Hatun: mother of Ibrahim and two daughters, Fatma and Selçuk, she was certainly of Greek descent, possibly a noblewoman. She was given several villages by Osman Gazi, which she then gave to her descendants in a 1323 deed. She was buried in the tomb of Orhan Gazi.

Nilüfer Hatun: mother of Murad I (ca. 1326-), she was most likely a consort of slave origins, hence the Persian name, which means "water lily". She was one of the later consorts of Orhan Gazi as she does not appear as a signatory to the endowement deed of 1324. She may have been the consort who welcomed traveller Ibn Battuta, when he arrived in Nicea in 1331. She was buried in the tomb of Orhan Gazi.

Melek Hatun: appears as a witness in a endowement deed dated 1324. She may have been the mother of Sultan.

Efendi/Efendize Hatun: identified as Orhan's wife in a land grant, she may have been his first cousin so the daughter of Osman's brother Gündüz Bey. On the other hand, Uluçay claims she was the daughter of Mahmut Alp.

Theodora Kantakuzenos: daughter of Byzantine John VI Kantakuzenos, she married Orhan in 1346. She was the mother of Orhan's youngest son, Halil. She never converted to Islam and instead encouraged converts to return to their former faith.

Theodora II Hatun: according to Alderson, she was the daughter of Serbian Prince Stephen IV Urosh. She was only 12 years old when she married Orhan, who was around seventy at the time of the marriage.

Bayezid I:

Devlet Hatun: mother of Mehmed I, she was a consort of slave origins. She died in January 1414, and she was buried in solitary mausoleum in Bursa, in which it is clearly stated that she was the mother of Mehmed I.

Devletşah Hatun: apparently a woman of noble origins, being the daughter of the Anatolian Germiyan principality Süleyman Şah Bey and of Mutahhare Hatun, granddaughter of the found of the Sufy order of the Mevlesis. She is usually considered the mother of İsa Çelebi and Musa Çelebi, but according to Peirce it could not have been true because during civil war after Bayezid I's death, the Germiyan ruler delivered Musa to the future Mehmed I and İsa was supported by several Anatolian principalities but not by the Germiyan.

Maria Olivera Despina Hatun: Serbian princess, she was the daughter of Lazar I. Bayezid I married her to strengthen the friendship between the two reigns, in 1390. She was disliked by the Ottomans, who considered her the one who corrupted the sultan, and was thus blamed for the defeat Bayezid suffered at the hands of Timur. She was captured with her husband and forced to serve Timur during banquets. She was blamed by late-fifteenth-century historian Aşıkpaşazade for introducing drinking to the Ottoman court, though it may not have been true.

Hafsa Hatun: daughter of İsa Bey or the principality of Aydın, she married Bayezid I after his campaign in Western Anatolia of Kosovo in 1390. Nothing is known about her life as a royal wife.
