Gevherhan Hatun (
Early life
Gevherhan Hatun was the daughter of Sultan
Marriage
In 1474, Gevherhan married
Ottoman princesses of Mehmed's time not married non-Ottomans, whereas it was more frequent in the past. Gevherhan's marriage to Ughurlu Muhammad was the only exception, which actually proved the rule. Ughurlu Muhammad being an exile from his own land and refugee at the Ottoman court, the Aq Qoyunlu prince might be considered a kind of adjunct member of the Ottoman royal household.[6]
Mehmed installed his new son-in-law in the frontier province of
Of this marriage, Ahmad Beg was born. Because of his father's death, Mehmed had his grandson brought to Istanbul.[5] Ahmed married his uncle Sultan Bayezid II's daughter Aynışah Sultan in 1489.[8]
After that date, there is no news of Gevherhan, although, according to some sources, she remarried to Sinan Pasha, an important statesman under Bayezid II who is said to be married to the sultan's sister.[9]
It is possible that he was Gevherhan's second husband or that he was married to one of Bayezid's half-sisters (Bayezid doesn't appear to have any other full sisters) and the source doesn't mention the difference between full sister and half-sister.[9]
Death
When she died around 1514, she was buried beside her mother in her mausoleum located in Fatih Mosque, Istanbul.[10]
In popular culture
In the 2013 Turkish series Fatih, Gevherhan Hatun is played by Turkish actress Hande Soral.[11]
