Family of Ahmed I.
Some new information about Fatma: "There is no clear information in the sources about the date of Fatma Sultan's death, it is generally stated that she died after her marriage to Kozbekçi Yusuf Pasha. The cause of her death is unknown. The date on which the jewels to be sold in her estate were recorded is shown as March 1671" (...) "Considering that the inheritance was recorded after the funeral and burial procedures, it is seen that the collection of the estate took time."So she possibly died in very late 1670 or early 1671 we can be fine with that. Based on this new study she left money, inheritance to: - Haseki Sultan, who back then was Emetullah Rabia Gülnüş - Fatma Hanimsultan, who was her step-daughter and so the daughter of Esmehan Kaya Sultan --> this is interesting as Fatma Sultan and Melek Ahmed (father of Fatma Hanimsultan) were not in the best relationship... But at the same times Fatma the older cared for Fatma the younger. At this point i must mention something. We usually consider the marriage of Esmehan Kaya and Melek Ahmed a close and lovely one because of Evliya. Evliya praised the two of them, but at the same time Evliya and Melek Ahmed were relatives, sooooo maybe this whole Melek Ahmed and Esmehan thing was not so lovely? Maybe Fatma disliked Melek Ahmed with a reason? Or maybe she just blamed him for the death of Esmehan Kaya? The article mentions only two sons of Fatma: Hüseyin and Ömer. It says that Hüseyin was born from her marriage to Kaptan-ı Derya Canpoladzade Mustafa Pasha; Ömer was born from her marriage to Koca Yusuf Pasha. But we know another son of Fatma, Süleyman Bey also from Canpolzade Pasha; and one son from her very first marriage, Hasan, who died as a baby.Also it is clear that Fatma Sultan married her third husband Koca Yusuf Pasha not in 1656 but ~1637/8.
