Hanzade Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: خانزادہ سلطان, "descendent of the Khan"; c. 1609 - 21 September 1650) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Ahmed I (r. 1603–1617) and Kösem Sultan. She was a half sister of Osman II (r. 1618–1622) and a sister of Murad IV (r. 1623–1640) and Ibrahim I (r. 1640–1648), and the paternal aunt of Mehmed IV (r. 1648–1687), Suleiman II (r. 1687–1691) and Ahmed II (r. 1691–1695).

Biography

Born in Constantinople in 1609, Hanzade Sultan was the daughter of sultan Ahmed I and his consort Kösem Sultan.[2] After her father's death in 1617, she settled in the Old Palace.[3]

Hanzade married Ladliki Bayram Pasha,[4] who was then the agha of the Janissaries[5][6] in March 1623[6][7] in the Old Palace.[3] Her elaborate bridal procession was escorted among the cheering crowds in the streets of Istanbul by the vezirs of the sultan. They had a daughter.[8] After Bayram's death in 1638, she married vezir Nakkaş Mustafa Pasha in October 1639 in the Bayram Pasha Palace. By him she had a son, Sultanzade Abdülbaki Bey.[9] Her daily stipend during this time was 430 aspers.[10]

In 1643, early in the reign of her brother Sultan Ibrahim, Hanzade is recorded, like her sisters Ayşe Sultan and Fatma Sultan, as receiving the maximum daily stipend for imperial princesses of the time, namely 400 aspers.[11] Later, in around 1647, she fell, for reasons unknown, in disgrace and was submitted, alongside her sisters Ayşe and Fatma and niece Kaya Sultan, to the indignity of subordination of his concubines. He took away their lands and wealth, and made them serve his newest favourite, Hümaşah, by standing at attention like servants while she ate and by fetching and holding the soap, basin and the pitcher of water with which she washed her hands.[12] Because of what he believed was failure to serve her properly, the Sultan then banished them to Edirne Palace.[13]

Hanzade Sultan died on 21 September 1650,[14] and was buried in the mausoleum of her brother Sultan Ibrahim in Hagia Sophia.[15]
