Life

Ferahşad entered in Bayezid's harem in 1484, and gave birth to Şehzade Mehmed on 1486. Contemporary historian Kemalpaşazade commented on his birth, by stating that he was a "substitute" (bedel) for his recently deceased half-brother, Şehzade Abdullah.[2]

According to Turkish tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors as a part of their training. Mehmed was sent to Kefe in 1490,[2] and Ferahşad accompanied him.[3][4]

Following Mehmed's death in December 1504,[2] she retired to Bursa. In retirement she made endowments in Silivri,[5] and Istanbul.[6][7] She was buried in Muradiye Complex, Bursa.[1]

Issue

Together with Bayezid, Ferahşad had one son:

  • Şehzade Mehmed (1486 - December 1504, buried in Muradiye Complex). He was married to a princess of the Giray khanate of Crimea, Ayşe Hatun (who would later be consort of his half-brother Selim I) and had two children by an unknown mother, Fatma Sultan (1500 - 1566) and Şehzade Mehmed (1505, posthumously - 1513, killed by Selim I).
