Aynışah Hatun was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Bayezid II (reign 1481–1512) and sister of Sultan Selim I (reign 1512–1520) of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Aynışah, or Hatice Aynışah Hatun [2], was born in Amasya, during her father's princedom. Her mother was his consort Şirin Hatun ; thus she had one full-sibling, Şehzade Abdullah (d. 1483).[2]

In 1489[2] or 1490,[3] Aynışah was married to Göde Ahmed Bey (d. 1498), son of Shahzada Damad Muhammad Mirza Pasha Ugurlu of the Ağ Qoyunlu[4][5] and her aunt Gevherhan Hatun and thus her own cousin. There is a possibility that, since Ahmed had already been living in the Sultan's court for a long time, the marriage took place at an even earlier date.[2] Göde Ahmed later took part in the fight for the Ağ Qoyunlu throne and was eventually murdered after a brief rule over the Ağ Qoyunlu lands.[4][5]

Aynışah kept correspondence with both her father, Bayezid, and brother Selim, as has been proven by surviving letters of hers. [6]

She was still alive and on good terms with the latter when he deposed the former in 1512, as evident in a letter she, like several of her sisters[2], wrote him to congratulate him on his ascension.[7][8]

In around 1506,[6] she built a mekteb (meaning elementary school) in Alemdar vicinity of Fatih, Istanbul, close to where Hacı Beşir Ağa Külliye (meaning Complex) was later erected. In this school she bequeathed her property. [6] Her grave was also situated there,[9][10] while a certain Aynışah Sultan that lies buried in the same tomb as her mother Şirin and brother Abdullah, in Bursa, is her niece of the same name, Abdullah's daughter. [6][11]

Issue

With Göde Ahmed, Aynışah had three children:
