Life

Birth

Hatice Sultan was born on 4 October 1710 in the Topkapı Palace.[1] Her father was Sultan Ahmed III, and her mother was Rukiye Kadın.[2] She was the fourteenth child born to her father.[1]

Marriage

In 1724, her father betrothed her to Hafız Ahmed Pasha, a prominent provincial governor, the son of Çerkes Osman Pasha,[3] a distinguished vezir, and a close companion of the Grand vizier Nevşehirli Damat Ibrahim Pasha.[4] On 20 February 1724 the betrothal gifts presented by Hafız Ahmed Pasha were transported from the palace of the grand vizier to the Imperial Palace,[5] and the marriage contract was concluded the same day. Apparently Hafız Ahmed had not yet arrived from Sayda, so his marriage to Hatice was formalised in the presence of his proxy. Hafız Ahmed Pasha arrived four days later. On 6 March 1724, the trousseau of Hatice Sultan was transported from the Topkapı Palace through Ahırkapı Yolu to the Kıbleli Palace that had been assigned to her. Then on 9 March, the princess herself was taken to her palace.[6]

Charities

In 1728, and 1729, Hatice Sultan commissioned two fountains in Üsküdar.[7][8]

Death

Hatice Sultan died in 1738 in the Kıbleli Palace, and was buried in New Mosque, Istanbul.[9][8]
