Hafize Hafsa Sultan[1] (Ottoman Turkish: حفصة سلطان, "the keeper one" and "young lioness"; ante 1494 - 10 July 1538) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Selim I and his favorite Hafsa Hatun. She was therefore the sister of Suleiman the Magnificent.[2]

Origins

[edit]

Hafize, also called Hafsa, Hafife, Hafisa or Hafiza in the sources, was born before 1494 in Trebizond, on the Black Sea, by the then Şehzade Selim, son of Bayezid II and governor of the province. Her mother was Hafsa Hatun, Selim's favorite, who in 1494 give birth Selim's successor, Suleiman.[3]

In 1512, her father became Sultan, while Hafize was already married in 1511 and lived with her husband. When her husband became Grand Vizier, she moved with him to Constantinople.

Marriage

[edit]

Hafize Sultan married twice:

  • She married for the first time in 1511. Her first husband was Grand Vizier Dukaginzade Ahmed Pasha, executed in 1515.
  • Her second husband, married in 1522, was Boşnak Mustafa Pasha. From this marriage she had her only child, a son, Sultanzade Kara Osman Şah Pasha.

Death

[edit]

Hafize died on 10 July 1538, in Constantinople. She was buried in the Şehzadeler türbesi in the Yavuz Selim Mosque.[citation needed]
