Egypt History: Soliman Pasha el-Faransawi (Joseph Anthelme Sève) سليمان باشا الفرنساوي
Submitted by Khalid on Mon, 2004/10/11 - 14:39One interesting character in the history of Modern Egypt is Soliman Pasha el Faransawi سليمان باشا الفرنساوي (Solomon Pasha the French).
Born in Lyon, France, as Joseph François Anthelme Sève (b. 11 May 1788 - d. 12 March 1860), he later came to Egypt as a military expert, taking the position of the head of artillery in the army of Mohamed Ali Pasha, under the command of his son, Ibrahim Pasha. He converted to Islam, and took the name Soliman Pasha, with the description el-Faransawi added.
Several squares in Cairo and other cities were named after Soliman Pasha, and several statues of him exist, in Turkish dress, and military insignia.
His descendants still exist in Egypt, and among them were the ex-Queen Nazli, wife of King Fouad, and mother of King Farouk, the last king of Egypt.

Soliman Pasha family
Nazly Hanem built a mosque fulfilling the wish of her late husband Sherif Pasha. As she was 90 years at the time the people called it the "old woman" mosque. Al Agouza. It became the name of the whole district until to day.
The couple had one daughter Tewfika. She herself had two daughters: Nazly (mother of King Farouk) and Nawal. Nawal died at the age of 6. Her name was given to the palace of her father (now Sadat Military Academy) and also to the street. Nawal Street until this day

This is absolutly correct, nazly hanem, Soliman pash's daughteris one of three children he had, have you followed the three of the other two?
Soliman Pasha family
This is not very accurate. Nazly Hanem who married Cherif Pasha had two daughters and a son; Tewfika Hanem, Gulsen Hanem and I believe the Mohamed was the name of their only son.
Tewfika Hanem had 3 daughters and 2 sons from her marriage to Abdelrehim Sabry pasha; Nazli(the Queen), Wafika, Amina, Cherif and Hussein.
Al-Nawal was just the name of the estate owned by the family on the street that became known as Nawal street.
