Gevherhan Sultan (

Ottoman Turkish: کوھرخان سلطان, "Gem of the Khan"; c. 1605 or 1608[1]–1660) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed I (reign 1603–1617) and Kösem Sultan,[2][3] half-sister of Sultan Osman II (reign 1618–1622), and sister of Sultans Murad IV (1623–1640) and Ibrahim
(reign 1640–1648) of the Ottoman Empire.

Birth

Gevherhan was born in Constantinople between 1605 and 1608[1][2]. His father, Sultan Ahmed I named her in honor of his great aunt Gevherhan Sultan, who had introduced his mother Handan Sultan to his father Mehmed III.[4]

Her mother was Kösem Sultan, Haseki of Ahmed.[2][3]

First marriage

In the summer of 1612, Gevherhan was married, as arranged by Ahmed, to Öküz Kara Mehmed Pasha, who served as the governor of Egypt from 1607 to 1611, and

Grand Vizier from 1614 until 1616 under Ahmed, and then again for a few months in 1619 under Osman II.[8] After being dismissed from the office a second time, he died in Aleppo in around 1621. With him, Gevherhan had a son who name is unknown and who died in infancy, born in 1621/1622.[9]

Second marriage

In 1622,[10][11] during Osman II's reign, Gevherhan married Topal Recep Pasha,[12][10] who in 1632 served as Grand Vizier under her brother Murad IV and was executed in same year. With Recep Pasha, she had a daughter named Safiye Hanımsultan (January 1630 – 1682), [13][14] who in turn married the future Grand Vizier Abaza Siyavuş Pasha.[15]

    . 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.
