Marriage

Ayşe married Guveyi Sinan Pasha, probably when her father was still a prince and the governor of Amasya. During Bayezid's reign, he was appointed the beylerbeyi (governor) of Anatolia. Ayşe followed him during his career in Anatolia, Gelibolu, and Rumelia.[3]

The two together had one son, Ahmed Bey, and three daughters, Gevherşah Sultan, Kamerşah Sultan, and Mihrimah Sultan.

Ayşe had spent public money, while her husband, Sinan Pasha, was at war. In a letter written to her father, she complained of lack of money. However, she later had to justify herself in the eyes of her father.[4]

After she was widowed in 1504, she returned to the capital, and her father, and later her half-brother Sultan Selim I, granted her an allowance.[1][2]

Charities

In her lifetime she built a mosque in Edirne, a mescid and a school in Gelibolu to which she bequeathed her property.[5] Sinan, her husband, received from her father villages in nahiye Üsküdar as a mülk. Consequently Sinan donated them to the mosque and kervansaray he constructed. The pasha established also a waqf at a zaviye in Gelibolu to which he bequeathed mülk villages purchased from Ayşe.[5]
