Marriage

edit

Ayşe Sultan was born in Amasya in 1465, to Bayezid II, then Şehzade and governator of the region. Her mother was the concubine Nigar Hatun, and therefore the blood sister of Şehzade Korkut and Fatma Sultan; but according to some she was instead the daughter of Bülbül Hatun, and sister of Şehzade Ahmed and Hundi Sultan.

Ayşe married Guveyi Sinan Pasha, probably when her father was still a prince and the governor of Amasya. During Bayezid's reign, he was appointed the beylerbeyi (governor) of Anatolia. Ayşe followed him during his career in Anatolia, Gelibolu, and Rumelia.[3]

The two together had two sons and five daughters.

Ayşe Sultan had spent public money, while her husband, Sinan Pasha, was at war. In a letter written to her father, she complained of lack of money. However, she later had to justify herself in the eyes of her father.[4]

After she was widowed in 1504, she returned to the capital, and her father, and later her half-brother Sultan Selim I, granted her an allowance.[1][2]

Charities

edit

In her lifetime she built a mosque in Edirne, a mescid[check spelling] and a school in Gelibolu to which she bequeathed her property.[5] Sinan, her husband, received from her father villages in nahiye Üsküdar as a mülk. Consequently Sinan donated them to the mosque and kervansaray he constructed. The pasha established also a waqf at a zaviye in Gelibolu to which he bequeathed mülk villages purchased from Ayşe.[5]

By her husband, Ayşe Sultan had two sons and five daughters:
