Biography
Born in around 1607[1] in Istanbul, Fatma Sultan was the daughter of sultan Ahmed I and his consort Kösem Sultan.[5]
In 1624,[6] during the reign of her brother Sultan Murad IV, Fatma married married Sarrac Çatalcalı Hasan Pasha. He was initially associated with the chief black eunuch's household, had risen through the ranks from the saddlery to become a kitchen attendant and later the head courier (çavuşbaşi) in the sultan's service.[7] In 1626,[6] her brother, Murad took steps to break the familial connection between Kösem and Admiral Hasan Pasha. Disturbed by his mother's extensive support for Hasan Pasha, Murad decided to dissolve the marriage. Murad's action against the otherwise successful admiral might have stemmed from his growing inclination to diminish the influence of his inner palace advisors and establish control over significant government officials. In an attempt to appease her son, Kösem reportedly offered him ornately equipped horses and a banquet worth ten thousand aspers.[7] Following divorce from her first husband, she married the governor of Egypt, Kara Mustafa Pasha the same year.[8][6] She was widowed in 1628, when Kara Mustafa Pasha was executed by her brother, Murad, for some action "contrary to the law of God."[9] Upon the execution of her second husband, she married Canbuladzade Mustafa Pasha in 1630.[6] He was executed by the orders of her brother, Murad in 1635–36.[8]

One of the most noted of the seven marriages of Fatma was her marriage to
When she was widowed in 1662 shortly thereafter, she sealed his residence and claimed the right to his property, which caused a conflict with the Grand Vizier, who was forced to give in to her demands.[18] In June 1663, she married Vezir Kanbur Mustafa Pasha, the Beylerbeyi of Baghdad. After his death in 1666, she married the Beylerbeyi of Silistre Vezir Közbekçi Yusuf Pasha on 5 September 1667.[2]: 168 [19]

Through her beauty and intelligence, Kösem Walide was especially attractive to Ahmed I, and drew ahead of more senior wives in the palace. She bore the sultan four sons – Murad, Süleyman, Ibrahim and Kasim – and three daughters – 'Ayşe, Fatma and Djawharkhan. These daughters she subsequently used to consolidate her political influence by strategic marriages to different viziers.
