Mehmed IIIâs harem is one of the worst documented in the history of the Ottoman Empire. We know of only two of his concubines, the two later valide sultanas, Halime and Handan. This may have been due to the excessive influence of Mehmed's mother. Safiye Sultan did not tolerate any other influential woman in her environment, so she prevented Mehmed's concubines from gaining influence in every way possible. We know that Mehmedâs favorite may have been Halime, which really annoyed Safiye and later a bloody fight ensued between the two women. Mehmed has only a few daughters known, but we know little about them as well, and it is impossible to establish with certainty who the mother of these girls was.
The eldest sultana
According to reports, Mehmed had an 18-year-old daughter in 1600. It is worth noting here that the Ottomans did not calculate the age on the basis of the years already filled but on the basis of what was to be filled. So this 18-year-old princess was probably not 18 years old but turned 17 in 1600. This suggests that she was born in 1583. However, this is problematic, as Mehmed left Istanbul only in December 1583 and arrived in Manisa in January 1584. His first child was born in February 1585, he was Prince Selim, son of Handan. So the princess could be neither 18 nor 17 years old in 1600 as princes couldn't produce children before leaving for their provinces.
It is worth noting that Mehmed made one of his father's concubines pregnant in 1582 or early 1583. It would be mathematically possible, therefore, that the eldest princess was born from this relationship, but the valide sultan, Nurbanu tried with all her power to cover up the situation and executed the pregnant concubine. Thus, it is theoretically not possible that in 1600 Mehmed had a 17-18-year-old daughter. Of course, the question arises in us, "what if Nurbanu just hid the pregnant concubine, who then gave birth to a girl, to this princess?". And while this topic is worth a good bit of discussion, historically it is by no means considered provable or not possible at all.
We know nothing else about the princess, not knowing whether she was married, had a family, or died young. However, based on the fact that she was mentioned during neither her father nor her younger brother, Ahmed I's reign, she may have died soon after 1600.
AyĆe Sultan
All that is known about AyĆe is that she was the wife of Destari Mustafa Pasha, so since she was married, she reached adulthood. Not even her name is certain. Now, for the sake of simplicity, call her AyĆe. Since it didnât survive when she married Destari Mustafa Pasha, itâs hard to say when she could have been born and who was her mother. Perhaps he may have been born between 1585 and 1590. In this case she could be Handan's daughter, as for no information about Handan's other child has survived from this interval.
The pasha died in 1614, and as AyĆe is not mentioned later, it cannot be ruled out that she died before the pasha. The pasha was buried in his own tĂŒrbe. Next to him, there are three children sarcophagus, presumably two daughters and one boy. All three died as children, but it is not known from whom they were born. However, since the children lying next to the Pasha and his wife, AyĆe Sultan, it can be assumed that the three children were theirs.
Hatice Sultan
Her name is uncertain, as is when she was born or who was her mother. All we know about her is that in November 1604, her brother, Ahmed I, married her to Mirahur Mustafa Pasha. From the date of her marriage we can conclude that she was born between 1585 and 1590. Some believe she was Halimeâs daughter, however, we have no evidence to suggest this. She was remarried in 1612, this time to Cigalazade Yusuf Sinan Pasha, the Grand Vizier's son, Mahmud Pasha. She died shortly after the wedding.
Ćah Sultan
The name of Ćah is also not certain, but it is very likely that she was the daughter of Halime and was born between 1585 and 1590. Her younger half-brother, Ahmed I, married her in 1604 to Kara Davud Pasha. Some say they had a son together.
Shortly after Ahmed I's death, Ćah's younger brother, Mustafa, ascended to the throne, but soon he was dethroned and Ahmed's son, Osman, was made a sultan. During the reign of Osman, Davud had a very difficult life, for Osman hated the pasha quite for being the greatest supporter and right hand of Halime Sultan and Mustafa I. This certainly affected Ćah's life as well. For this reason, it is very likely that Ćah was also actively involved in the dethronement of Osman and the re-enthronement of Mustafa I. It is important to note that according to some ambassadorial accounts, Davud Pasha and Halime Sultan planned to name the son of Davud and Ćah as Mustafa's heir, since Mustafa was unable to have a child. However, this is a controversial and perhaps only rumored account.
Although Osman was successfully dethroned and Mustafa was again made a sultan, Halime Sultan and Davud were reckless as they humiliated and executed Sultan Osman II. And for this, it was impossible to avoid their punishment. Halime, to save herself and her son, Mustafa, made Davud as a scapegoat for the execution of Osman. Davud was thus sentenced to death. After the execution of Davud Pasha and the dethronement of Mustafa I, like her mother, Ćah also disappeared from history. No one mentioned her anywhere. We could assume that she was deceased, but knowing the circumstances, it is very likely that they were merely trying to forget about her, as she was the wife of Davud Pasha, who was called as a traitor. Thus Ćah may have spent the rest of her life in the Old Palace along her mother, Halime. We don't know when she died.
Anonymous Sultanas
We don't know her name or date of birth or death. The only sure thing about her is that she reached adulthood as she was the wife of Tyriaki Hasan Pasha. The Pasha died in 1611, and the sultana is not mentioned after that at all.
The name and date of birth of another anonymous sultana are unknown. Ahmed I married her to Ali Pasa, who died in 1617. The sultana was surely still alive in 1616, as the Austrian ambassador met Ali Pasha in 1616, and described him as "a self-respecting, liberal, Christian-like man in his 50s who married the sultan's (Ahmed I) sister." Some believe that this sultana was the anonymous daughter of Mehmed III, who died in 1628, but there is no evidence to this. It is possible that the sultana who died in 1628 was another daughter of Mehmed III.
