Fatma Sultan (daughter of Selim I)

She was first married in 1516 to Mustafa Pasha, governor of Antakya; however they divorced when it turned out that he was homosexual and had no interest in her.[1]

Then, she married in 1522 to Kara Ahmed Pasha, who was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire between 1553 and 1555, and they had two daughters. After his execution, she went to live in Bursa or, according to other sources, was forcibly married in 1555 to Hadim Ibrahim Pasha, presumably as a punishment for her intrigues. However, it turned out to be the happiest of all her marriages.

Fatma Sultan built a mosque in Topkapı.[2] Fatma died around 1556 [3] and was buried in Kara Ahmed Pasha's tomb.
In 1575 Murad III build Fatma Sultan Mosque in honor of his great-aunt.

In the TV series Muhteşem Yüzyıl, Fatma Sultan is played by Turkish actress Meltem Cumbul.
