Beyhan Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: بیحان سلطان; died 1559) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Selim I and Ayşe Hafsa Sultan (possible) or maybe Ayşe Hatun. She was the sister of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.
Marriage[]
In 1513, Beyhan Sultan married vizier Damat Ferhat Pasha. However, on 1 November 1524, Ferhet Pasha quelled the rebellion of Janberdi and was executed on the orders of her brother Suleiman the Magnificent.
She was alienated from her brother and refused to remarry and lived in a self exile from Istanbul in her palace at Skopje.
Beyhan Sultan's loyalty to her husband surpassed her loyalty to her family, which was a rare occasion. Ferhat was executed on the grounds of rapacious and ruthless conduct in the provinces which he was assigned. Through the intercession of Suleiman's mother Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, Ferhat had been pardoned after his first offences, but he continued to provoke the complaints from his constituents, the sultan ordered him executed.[1]
Death and burial[]
She died in 1559. Her resting place is located inside the türbe of her father Selim I in Yavuz Selim Mosque.
Depictions in literature and popular culture[]
In the TV series Muhteşem Yüzyıl, Beyhan Sultan is portrayed by Turkish actress Pınar Çağlar Gençtürk.
