Mihrimah Sultan (daughter of Murad III)

It is not known for sure who her mother was. There are hits that most often claim that she was the daughter of unknown concubine and that she was suggestly born in 1592. The main evidence of this is the date of his first known marriage, placed between 1604 and 1613.

The Ottoman Register indicates that in 1595, when her father died, she was among his eldest daughters,[2] which indicates that she may have been the daughter of Safiye Sultan. If that is true, she was not born before 1578-79. It would also make sense if she was born shortly after the death of Mihrimah Sultan,a daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, in whose honor she was named. If she was Safiye's daughter, she had at least two full brothers, Mehmed III and Şehzade Mahmud, and three full sisters, Hümaşah Sultan, Ayşe Sultan and Fatma Sultan.[3]

Mihrimah most likely married for the first time during the time of her brother Mehmed III, but as the details of his Harem are poorly preserved, it cannot be proven when she was married.
Her first known marriage is marriage to Mihrahur Ahmed Pasha in 1613.[4] Some sources even mention that she was even married to him in 1604.[2] Ahmed Pasha was the governor of Rumelia in 1614 and after that was appointed as governor of Damascus.

After Ahmed Pasha died in 1618, she married Çerkes Mehmed Ali Pasha.[5] Mehmed Ali Pasha took the place of the governor of Damascus in 1618, so it can be assumed that she was probably married to him in the same year after death of her husband. During reign of Murad IV, he became Grand Vizier in 1624, until he died in Tokat on January 28, 1625. It is not known if she had issue from these marriages.

The further life of Mihrimah Sultan is not known, as well as whether she had more marriages.[6] She probably died during the reign of Murad IV, but this has not been confirmed. When she died, she was buried in the Mausoleum of Murad III, which is located in the courtyard of the Hagia Sophia.
