Fatma Sultan (c. 1559 – October 1580; Template:Lang-ota) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Selim II (reign 1566–74) of the Ottoman Empire. She was the granddaughter of Suleiman the Magnificent (reign 1520–66) and Hurrem Sultan, sister of Sultan Murad III (reign 1574–95) and aunt of Sultan Mehmed III (reign 1595–1603).
Early life
Fatma was born circa 1559[1] during Selim's princedom, at Konya or Karaman where he served as sanjakbey, or provincial governor, at the time.[2] She was her father's youngest daughter.[3] Her mother's identity is uncertain; it is suggested that she was the fourth daughter of Nurbanu Sultan,[3][4] however the claim remains disputed.[1]
Marriage
In 1574,[3] she married Kanijeli Siyavuş Pasha (died 1602), then Beylerbey (governor-general) of Rumelia,[5] and eventually Grand Vizier 1582–1584, 1586–1589, 1592–1593. Stephan Gerlach, first assistant and clergyman to the ambassador of the Holy Roman Empire at Istanbul from 1573 to 1578, recorded word that the Beylerbey was originally a slave whom Fatma's father Selim bought as a boy for 500 ducats and came to regard as his own son. It was stipulated in Sultan Selim's will that this marriage be arranged.[5]
Fatma's dowry amounted to approximately 4988 ducats.[3] The marriage was happy, as indicated by the fact that she pleaded with her brother Murad to spare Siyavuş Pasha's life when at some point the latter fell out of favour.[6] Siyavuş Pasha's physician, Moses Benveniste was often at dinner with the couple.[7] She bore her husband three sons and a daughter.[8]
Charities
Fatma had an elementary school, or mektep, as well as a religious college, or medrese, constructed at Edirnekapı.[3]
Death
Fatma Sultan died in October 1580,[9] at Istanbul, in childbirth as a result of her daughter being born prematurely. The latter reportedly died too.[9][3][8] She was entombed in her father Sultan Selim II's mausoleum in Hagia Sophia Mosque.[9][4] She had a provision made, supported by vakfs, that is, charitable foundations, so that the Quran would be read every morning, for the sake of her soul.[3]
