Hatice Sultan

Hatice Sultan (; sometimes called Hatice Hanım Sultan; 1496 – post 1543/44 She was the daughter of Şehzade Selim (the future Selim I) and his concubine Hafsa Sultan. She married Damat Iskender Pasha in 1509, an Ottoman governor and later admiral who was executed in 1515.

Hatice Sultan commissioned the architect Mimar Sinan to build a mosque in her name in Aksaray in 1543–44. The mosque was demolished in the 1950s as part of the urban redevelopment works carried out in Istanbul under the government of Adnan Menderes and has not survived to the present day. She was buried in a separate tomb next to her parents in the Şehzadeler Türbesi, in the graveyard of the Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque. She was buried next to her sister Hafize Sultan.

Issue Hatice Sultan had five sons and at least three daughters.

By her first marriage, Hatice had four sons and a daughter: Sultanzade Mehmed Bey; Sultanzade Süleyman Bey; Sultanzade Ali Bey; Sultanzade Osman Bey; Nefise Hanımsultan (buried in the Şehzade Mosque with at least one of her brothers).

By her second marriage, Hatice had a son and at least two daughters: Sultanzade Mehmed Şah Bey; Hanım Hanımsultan (died in 1582, buried in Hürrem Sultan's Türbesi); Fülane Hanımsultan.

Depictions in literature and popular culture In the TV series Muhteşem Yüzyıl, Hatice Sultan is played by Turkish-German actress Selma Ergeç. In the series, she is inaccurately portrayed as Ibrahim Pasha's wife and mother of his children, a fact which other historians have disputed. However, the series was produced in 2011, when the marriage had not yet been denied with certainty.
