Ayşe Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: عائشہ سلطان‎; 30 March 1696 – 26 September 1752) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Mustafa II (reign 1695 - 1703) and half-sister of Sultans Mahmud I (reign 1730 - 1754) and Osman III (reign 1754 - 1757) of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Ayşe Sultan was born on 30 March 1696[1] at the Edirne Palace. She was the eldest daughter of Sultan Mustafa II, and was born during Mustafa's march to Belgrade.[2]

In May 1708, Ayşe Sultan was married to Fazıl Mustafa Pasha’s son Köprülüzade Numan Pasha, then the governor of Belgrade, to whom she had remained betrothed since she was seven. Her dowry was 20,000 ducats.[3] A month later, after sending on her trousseau, Ayşe and her equally magnificent procession left for the Zeyrek Palace that had been allocated to her. But instead of accompanying Ayşe Sultan all the way to Zeyrek, a neighbourhood to the northwest of the Valens Aqueduct, the dignitaries went only as far as the grand vezir’s palace. From this point onwards, the more functional core of the procession, comprising the princess and her trousseau, was taken to the Zeyrek palace in a relatively quiet and unostentatious way.[4]

Numan Pasha became the grand vizier in 1710, and in 1719 the governor of Crete, where he died the same year. After Numan Pasha's death, Ayşe in 1720 was married secondly to Silahdar Ibrahim Pasha, previously a sword-bearer of Sultan Ahmed II.[5] Following Ibrahim Pasha's death, she married Koca Mustafa Pasha in 1725.[6] Mustafa Pasha died in 1728.[7][8]

Death

Ayşe Sultan died on 26 September 1752 and was buried in her great-grandmother Turhan Hatice Sultan's mausoleum, located at New Mosque at Istanbul.[9][7]
