Safiye Sultan (13 December 1696 – 15 May 1778) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Mustafa II (reign 1695 - 1703), and half-sister of Sultans Mahmud I (reign 1730 - 1754) and Osman III (reign 1754 - 1757) of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Safiye Sultan was born on 13 December 1696[1] at the Edirne Palace, thus being the third daughter of Sultan Mustafa II. She was betrothed at the same time as her sisters Emine Sultan and Ayşe Sultan, to the son of Merzifonlu Kara Mustafa Pasha, known as Maktulzade Ali Pasha, and Beylerbey (governor - general) of Adana at the time. The marriage took place on 8 May 1710. The wedding procession travelled only a short distance from the Imperial Gate, through Cebehane and Soğukçeşme road to the princess’s palace at Demirkapı, known as "Rami Pasha’s palace", where the marriage was consummated. Soon afterwards, in June 1710, the bridegroom was sent away to Diyarbekir to serve as provincial governor.[2]

After Ali Pasha's death in 1723, Safiye married Mirzazade Mehmed Pasha in 1726.[3] After Mehmed Pasha's death in 1728, she married Ebu Bekr Pasha in 1740, during the reign of her half-brother Sultan Mahmud I. Ebu Bekr Pasha died in 1759. She had a daughter Zahide Sultan, who married Ebu Bekr Pasha's son Elhac Suleiman Bey, and died in 1790.

Death

Safiye Sultan died on 15 May 1778, and was buried in the mausoleum of Suleiman the Magnificent.
