Hatice Sultan (; sometimes called Hatice Hanim Sultan; ante 1494 â post 1543/44) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Selim I and Hafsa Sultan. She was the full-sister of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
Hatice's birth date is unknown, but she was born before 1494. She was the daughter of à Âehzade Selim (the future Selim I) and his concubine Hafsa. She married Damat Iskender Pasha in 1509, an Ottoman governor and later admiral who was executed in 1515.
It had long been believed that Hatice Sultan subsequently married the Grand Vizier Pargalñ Ibrahim Pasha. However, in the late 2000s, research conducted by the historian Ebru Turan revealed that this claim was not based on solid evidence, and that in fact no such marriage ever took place between them. As a result, historians now agree that Ibrahim married another woman, Muhsine Hatun, and not Hatice. Instead, Hatice's actual second marriage was to ÃÂoban Mustafa Pasha in 1517, the son of Iskender Pasha and widower of Hatice's half-sister à Âahzade Sultan. Hatice was widowed in 1529.
Hatice Sultan had her mosque built in Aksaray in 1543-44 and later died and was buried in a separate tomb next to her parents in the graveyard of Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque, in the à Âehzadeler türbesi. She was buried next to her sister Hafize Hafsa Sultan.
Hatice Sultan had five sons and at least three daughters.
By her first marriage, Hatice had four sons and a daughter:
By her second marriage, Hatice had a son and at least two daughters:
In the TV series Muhteà Âem Yüzyñl, Hatice Sultan is played by Turkish-German actress Selma Ergeç. In the series, she is inaccurately portrayed as Ibrahim Pasha's wife and mother of his children, a fact which other historians have disputed. However, the series was produced in 2011, when the marriage had not yet been denied with certainty.
