Leo --

If you are interested in Ottoman genealogy, a more recent, and I think much
better source, giving wives, is A D Alderson, The Structure of the Ottoman
Dynasty (Oxford, 1956)

According to Alderson the mother of Mehmed II is named in an inscription at
Bursa as Huma, of unknown ancestry. He knows of 13 children for Murad II,
including 7 daughters, only one of whom (Fatma) is named.

He doesn't know a "Khadidja bint Isfendiar" as one of Murad's wives, but he
does know a "Hadice (Khadidja) bint Ibrahim Candaroglu" -- but this must be
a different woman because he says that Zambaur gives her father as
Mubarizeddin.
