Telli Humasah Sultan in episode 29, when she's lying next to Ibrahim and their son - requested by anon

[ottomanladies]

Hello,I was just wondering how come Ibrahim’s sisters Gevherhan,Atike,and Abide served Haseki Telli Humasah Sultan,it seems strange to me,was it because they refused,Ibrahim didn’t want them to,or they were far from Istanbul during that time.

 Hello! Sorry for the long wait.

It’s something that I have always wondered too, especially about Atike who is buried in his tomb, but I have never made any research on this so I might as well do it now with you.

First, let’s start with saying that those three could have not been Kösem’s daughters and maybe Ibrahim was seeking to hurt his mother by forcing Ayse, Fatma, Hanzade and Kaya Ismihan to serve his new wife. The choice of sisters (and niece) doesn’t seem random to me: Kösem’s daughters + the granddaughter that she loved so much she was like one of her children.

But let’s put that aside for a moment, now. Öztuna believes that Atike was Kasim’s twin sister and some historians that Gevherhan was one of Kosem’s daughters so maybe our first reasoning is wrong, after all. 

Let’s try to find out where these princesses were, around 1648.

Gevherhan lost her second husband in 1632, when he was executed. From that year on, nothing is ever said about her. Her daughter Safiye got married in 1644 but that is no guarantee that Gevherhan was alive at that point. She is usually believed to have died around 1660, though, so maybe she just decided not to remarry. If she didn’t remarry, she could only be in the Old Palace (or maybe even in Topkapi), so she was in Istanbul in 1648... but she wasn’t forced to serve Hümaşah.

Atike lost her first husband in 1647 but he had been kubbe vizier so a part of the divan and so they had to have lived in Istanbul. She remarried in 1648 to Dâmâd Koca Sofu Kenân Paşa, who was second vizier so him too had to live in Istanbul. So... she was in Istanbul in 1648 but she wasn’t forced to serve Hümaşah either.

Abide is muddier because there is not much about her. Öztuna says she was posthumous and and that she probably died around 1648, so maybe she wasn’t alive by then. She only married once, in 1642, to vizier Küçük Musa Paşa, who died in 1647. She had no children and no other information is available about her so we’re not sure she was even alive when Ibrahim married Hümaşah. If she was, she must have been in Istanbul too, since her husband had been part of the divan.

I don’t think these three princesses refused or even could refuse; he was the sultan and his mental health was off the charts by then. If they were all alive and were all in Istanbul at that point - as we’ve found out - then it’s very curious that they were not required to serve Hümaşah... unless my hunch is true: they were not Kösem’s daughters and Ibrahim, in the end, was only trying to humiliate his mother - and only her - by forcing her blood to serve his wife.

Telli Haseki Hümaşah Sultan—Sultan Ibrahim's great love, his wedded wife, the mother of Şehzade Orhan. Under the calm, naive image, lies a cunning and dangerous woman.
