Hüsnüşah Hatun

Hüsnüşah Hatun (; died 1513), also called Hüsnişah Hatun or Hüsnüşad Hatun, was a consort of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire.

Family According to the most widely accepted view, Hüsnüşah Hatun was the daughter of Nasuh Bey, a descendant of Ibrahim II Bey, the ruler of Karaman; however, historian Necdet Sakaoğlu suggests, based on harem records, that she may actually have been a concubine of Christian origin.

In the harem

Hüsnüşah entered Bayezid's harem when he was still a prince, and the governor of Amasya sanjak. She gave birth to two children, a daughter, Sultanzade Sultan, and a son, Şehzade Şehinşah in 1470.

According to Ottoman tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors as a part of their training. Şehinşah was sent to Menteşe, Manisa, Konya, and then in 1485 to Karaman, and Hüsnüşah accompanied him. She built and endowed a mosque in 1490,
