Ayşe Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: عائشہ سلطان‎; c. 1713 - 3 October 1776) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed III (reign 1703 - 1730) and half-sister of Sultan Mustafa III (reign 1757 - 1773) and Sultan Abdul Hamid I (reign 1773 - 1789) of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Her mother was Emine Kadın.[1]

In 1724, when Ayşe Sultan was eleven years old, Ahmed betrothed her to his swordbearer Kunduracızade Istanbullu Mehmed Pasha,[2][3] and appointed him the governor of Rumelia. The marriage contract was concluded on 28 September 1728, and the wedding took place on 4 October 1728 at the Topkapı Palace. The couple were given the Valide Kethüdası Mehmed Pasha Palace, located at Süleymaniye as their residence. In 1730, the grand vizier Nevşehirli Damat Ibrahim Pasha was killed in the uprising of Patrona Halil and Ahmed III was deposed. Ayşe Sultan's husband, Mehmed Pasha, became the grand vizier in October 1730. He remained grand vizier until January 1731, after which he was appointed, the governor of Aleppo. He died in 1737.[4]

Following Mehmed Pasha's death, she married Hatip Ahmed Pasha, the son of grand vizier Topal Osman Pasha.[3] The wedding took place in 1740 at the Ortaköy Palace, while the marriage was consummated in December 1742 at the Demirkapı Palace. Ahmed Pasha was appointed the governor of Mora in 1744 and died in 1748.[5] Ten years after Ahmed Pasha's death, she married Silahdar Mehmed Pasha, the Sanjak Bey (provincial governor) of Tirhala.[6] This wedding took place on 16 January 1758 at the Hekimbaşı Palace. Her dowry was 5000 ducats.[7] Ayşe Sultan had a daughter named Rukiye Sultan, who married Lalazade Nuri Bey.[8]

Death

Ayşe Sultan died on 3 October 1776 at the Ortaköy Palace and was buried in her great-grandmother Turhan Hatice Sultan's mausoleum, located at New Mosque at Istanbul.[6][9]
