Ayşe Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: عایشه سلطان) was the haseki of Ottoman Sultan Murad IV.[1][2][3]
Biography
Privy Purse registers record the presence of, Ayşe as Murad's only haseki, until the very end of Murad's seventeen year reign, when a second haseki appears. It is possible that Ayşe was Murad's only haseki until the advent of the second. In 1633 Murad raised the Ayşe's stipend to 2,000 aspers, where it remained throughout his reign. The increase was most likely linked to a general increase in stipends throughout the palace during Murad's reign, described by Koçi Bey, and was accompanied by a marked growth in the size of the harem.These changes were probably an aspect of Murad's dramatic assertion of personal control of government after nine year's of his mother's regency.[3]
She started her career at a stipend of 2,000 aspers a day while Murad's second haseki received, 2571 aspers a day. Seventh months later, however, the stipend of Murad's second haseki was reduced to 2,000, the level at which both remained until Murad's death.[3]
She was still alive in 1678/79.[3]
