editNothing certain is known about Fatma Hatun's origin. In one version, she is said to have been the daughter of Kuyucu Murad Pasha, who was Grand Vizier of Ottoman Empire during 1606 – 1611.[5][6][7] Another possibility is that she was a bosnian women who come in Istanbul through Turkish slave trade and was made a concubine. Then converting Islam and was given the name of Fatma.[5]
Around the year 1605, she became the consort of the young Sultan Ahmed. During her first years in the harem, Fatma Hatun gave birth to her fist child in 1609, Şehzade Cihangir, and in 1612, to Șehzade Hasan. Both sons died in childhood and did not life enough to be executed by their half-brother Murad IV. When Ahmed I died, Fatma Hatun was pregnant and in 1618, she gave birth to a posthumous daughter, Abide Sultan.[8]
