Fahriye Sultan Explained
Fahriye Sultan[2] (Ottoman Turkish: فخری سلطان, "honorary"; also Fahri Sultan;[3] [4] died 1656[5]), was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Murad III (reign 1574–1595) of the Ottoman Empire, and maybe of his favorite Safiye Sultan.[6]
Biography
Her mother possibly was Safiye Sultan if she born after Safiye's return from exile in the Old Palace in 1584.[7]
In 1595 her father died and her brother, Mehmed III ascended to the throne.[8] In 1603 her brother died and her thirteen-year-old nephew, Ahmed I, ascended to the throne. Ahmed married Fahriye to Çuhadar Ahmed Pasha in 1604. The marriage remained childless and the pasha died in 1618. When Osman II deposed Mustafa I, Fahriye lived in the palace and received the same salary as other members of the dynasty. Her second husband was Sofu Bayram Pasha.[9] She married in 1618 and was widowed at his death in 1632.[10] Her third husband was Deli Dilaver Pasha.
During the reign of sultan Murad IV, her stipend was 430 aspers a day. She is known to receive gifts from the Ragusans from the 1640s all up until the 1650s. However, once she was deliberately overlooked for reasons unknown, likely driven by a reduction in public spending. After waiting a year, she instructed her kethüda to inquire with the ambassadors about why their predecessors didn't provide her entitled privileges. When the ambassadors showed no inclination to rectify the situation, she sought the intervention of the grand vizier, sending a copy to Caboga, the Ragusan ambassador. The outcome remains uncertain.
She died in 1656.[11]
In popular culture
In the 2015 TV series , Fahriye Sultan is portrayed by Turkish actress Gülcan Arslan.[12]
