Mahidevran was the mother of Şehzade Mustafa, the eldest surviving son of the reigning Sultan. She held a prominent position in the harem of her son in Manisa. While Hürrem Sultan became Suleiman's favorite and legal wife, Mahidevran retained the status of the mother of Suleiman's eldest son,[6] and was referred to as Suleiman's "first wife" by some diplomats, despite the fact that they were never married.[7] Until Hürrem was given the title of "Sultan" and later "Haseki Sultan", a new title created for her, all consorts had the simple courtesy title of "Hatun", meaning "lady, woman".[8] Therefore Mahidevran never had the title of Sultana in the hierarchy of the harem and she was called simply "Mahidevran Hatun", although as the mother of the eldest son she still had the rank of Baş Kadın.[9] Nonetheless, in historical fiction she is often mistakenly given the title Sultan.[10][11][12]

After Mustafa's execution,Mahidevran went Bursa.And she died in 3 February 1581.
