Hafize Hafsa Sultan[1] (Ottoman Turkish: حفصة سلطان, "the keeper one" and "young lioness"; c. 1492 or before - 10 July 1538) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Selim I and, presumably, of his favorite Hafsa Hatun. She was therefore the sister or at least half-sister of Suleiman the Magnificent.[2]
Origins[edit]
Hafize, also called Hafsa, Hafife, Hafisa or Hafiza in the sources, was born not after 1493 in Trebizond, on the Black Sea, by the then Şehzade Selim, son of Bayezid II and governor of the province. The identity of her mother is uncertain, but most believe she is the daughter of Hafsa Hatun, Selim's favorite of Crimean origin and mother of his successor Suleiman the Magnificent. The year of her birth is unknown, but, if she really was Hafsa's daughter, she would have been born before 1492 or 1493.[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 Paşa, executed in 1515.
- Her second husband, married in 1522, was Boşnak Mustafa Paşah. From this marriage she had her only child, a son, Sultanzade Kara Osman Şah Paşah.
Death[edit]
Hafize died on July 10, 1538, in Constantinople. She was buried next to her father in the Yavuz Selim Mosque.[citation needed]

- ^ Hafsa had another certain daughter, Hatice Sultan, referred to as the youngest. She was also Fatma's mother, and possibly Beyhan's mother. Also, she was Suleiman's mother. According to Leslie Peirce, the rules at the time dictated that concubines mothers of a male child no longer share the sultan's bed. If this is true, all of Hafsa's daughters must therefore have been born before 1494, the year of Suleiman's birth.
