Şah Sultan (Template:Lang-ota; c. 1544 – 3 November 1577) 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 Manisa,[1] when her father was still a prince. Her mother was Nurbanu Sultan.[2][3]

In 1562, strong alliances were made for the daughters of Şehzade Selim, the prince who would succeed Suleiman as Selim II, 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]

After the death of Hasan Agha in 1574, Şah Sultan married Zal Mahmud Pasha in 1575.[7] This union is said to be a very happy one. They were suited to each another.[5]
