Post subject:  Vilide Sultan nee Agnes.

The mother of Sultan Selim III gave Nelson a diamond studded box worth £1000.
She was born a Catholic but converted to Islam.
She had built an Imaret which is still in use today, Nelson would of been aware of this sure.
Remarkably they had 'inter faith' agreements and discussions.
