Ayşe Sultan (Template:Lang-ota; died c. 1640) was the consort of Sultan Osman II of the Ottoman Empire.[1][2][3]

Life

Her name appears in privy purse registers from 1619 on,[4] but nothing is known about her except her name.[3][1]

According to Peirce, Ayşe was Osman's haseki sultan. But according to Piterberg, Osman II did not have a haseki and Ayşe was just "a politically insignificant consort." Even though her status was debatable, it is clear that Ayşe could not become a prominent female figure like other haseki sultans. Also, a governess (daye hatun, lit. wet-nurse) who was appointed as a stand-in valide, could not counterbalance the contriving of Mustafa I's mother in the Old Palace. This condition made the conspious absence of a female power basis in the harem during her spouse's reign, the basic and exceptional weakness from which Osman II suffered.[5]

After Osman's death in 1622 she stayed in the Old Palace.[1] Privy Purse records her presence lastly in 1640.[4]
