Gevherimüluk Sultan (1467 — 20 January 1550) was an Ottoman princess, the daughter of Sultan Bayezid II (r. 1481–1512), and half sister to Selim I (r. 1512–1520).

Early life

Anthony Dolphin Alderson notes, referring to Ulucay, that Şehzade Mahmud and Gevherimüluk Sultan were full brother and sister.[1]

She married Dukakinzade Mehmed Pasha, son of Grand Vizier Dukakinzade Ahmed Pasha,[2] governor of Smederevo, Kyustendil, Karaman and finally Aleppo. He died in 1557.[3] Their son was Sultanzade Dukakinzade Mehmed Ahmed Bey (died 1537) and their daughter was Neslişah Hanımsultan (1507–1579), who had built her own mosque in 1522 named after her.[4] Ahmed Bey was known as a Divan poet who in 1503 married Hanzade Ayşe Mihrihan Hanımsultan, daughter of his aunt Ayşe Sultan, and had a daughter, Mihrimah Hanım. Neslişah Hanımsultan married her half-uncle Dukaginzade Ibrahim Bey (died 1582).[5]

Death

Gevherimüluk Sultan was one of the longest-lived sultanas. She died on 20 January 1550 in Istanbul.[6][7] Her son-in-law built a school near Zal Mahmud Pasha's Mosque and the three of them are buried there.[8]
