Şah Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: شاہ سلطان, "Sovereign"; 1544 – 3 November 1580) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Selim II (reign 1566–74) and Nurbanu Sultan. She was the granddaughter of Suleiman the Magnificent (reign 1520–66) and his consort Hurrem Sultan, sister of Sultan Murad III (reign 1574–95) and aunt of Sultan Mehmed III (reign 1595–1603).

Life

Şah Sultan was born in 1544 in Karaman,[1] when her father was still a prince. Her mother was Nurbanu Sultan. She was the eldest child of her parents.[2][3]

In 1562, strong alliances were made for the daughters of Şehzade Selim, the prince who would succeed Suleiman as Selim II. On 17 August 1562, Ismihan married Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, Gevherhan the admiral Piyale Pasha, and Şah the chief falconer Hasan Agha.[4] The State Treasury covered the expenses for the imperial wedding and granted 15,000 florins as a wedding gift to the imperial son-in-law.[5][6] Şah and Hasan didn't had issue.

After the death of Hasan Agha in 1574, Şah Sultan married Zal Mahmud Pasha in 1575. Apparently, this was a love marriage chosen by Şah.[7] This union was said to be a very happy one and they were suited for each other. They had a daughter and a son.[5]

Death

The tombs of Şah Sultan and her husband Zal Mahmud Pasha in Eyüpsultan

Şah Sultan died on 3 November 1580, and was buried in her mosque of her husband, that she and her husband built.[1] It was said that Şah and her husband fell ill at the same time, lay in their deathbeds together, and expired at the same very moment. In reality, he died 12 days after, and was buried with Şah.[5]

Issue

Şah had a daughter and a son from her second marriage:

  • Fülane Hanımsultan (1575 - ?). She married Abdâl Hân and she had two sons.
  • Sultanzade Köse Husrev Pasha (1576/1577 - ?), who died in war versus the Persians.
