Hafize Hafsa SultanCalled also Hafise, Hafiza or Hafisa. ({{langx|ota|حفصة سلطان}}, "the keeper one" and "young lioness";) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Selim I. In her life events, she is often confused with Hanım or Hatice Sultan. There is no factual evidence that could ascribe her maternity to Hafsa Sultan, Suleiman's mother.İsmail Hakkı Uzunçarşılı: Yavuz Sultan Selim'in Kızı Hanım Sultan ve Torunu Kara Osman Şah Bey Vakfiyeleri
Origins
Hafize, also called Hafsa, Hafize, Hafisa or Hafiza in the sources, was born in Trebizond, on the Black Sea, as the daughter of the then Şehzade Selim, son of Bayezid II and governor of the province. Historian İsmail Hakkı Uzunçarşılı includes her as one of Selim I's daughters.
Marriage
Hafize Sultan married twice:
- She married for the first time in 1511. Her first husband was Grand Vizier Dukaginzade Ahmed Pasha, executed in 1515.Turan, Ebru: The Marriage of Ibrahim Pasha; pp 24: "Dukaginzade Ahmed Pasha, who was married to one of Bayezid's granddaughters, was executed by Selim in 1515; see TANSEL, Yavuz Sultan Selim, 73"
- Her second husband, was Çoban Mustafa Pasha whom she married around 1519, on the occasion of which he was raised to vizierate as the second vizier.Turan, Ebru: The Marriage of Ibrahim Pasha; pp 24: "More specifically, it was in the period following the Mameluke Campaign in 1517 that the upper strata of the Ottoman elite came to be completely recast. Piri Pasha ascended to the grand vizierate (1517), Mustafa Pasha to the post of the second vizier (1519), and Ferhad Pasha to that of the third vizier (1519), and Ahmed Pasha became governor-general of Rumelia (1519)."
Death
It is not certain when Hafize died but as her second husband was married to another daughter of Selim I, Şehzâde Sultan in 1523, she had definitely died before 1523. Her date of death is confused with that of Hanım Sultan who had certainly died in 1538.İsmail Hakkı Uzunçarşılı: Yavuz Sultan Selim'in Kızı Hanım Sultan ve Torunu Kara Osman Şah Bey Vakfiyeleri She was buried in the Şehzadeler türbesi in the Yavuz Selim Mosque.
