Gevherhan Sultan (Шаблон:Lang-ota; "Gem of the Khan"; Шаблон:Circa 1642 – 27 October 1694) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ibrahim (r. 1640 – 1648) and half-sister of Sultans Mehmed IV (r. 1648 – 1687), Suleiman II (r. 1687 – 1691) and Ahmed II (r. 1691 – 1695) of the Ottoman Empire.
Life
Born in 1642 as a daughter of Sultan Ibrahim "the Mad", Gevherhan Sultan was firstly married, at the age of just four, on 23 November 1646,Шаблон:Sfn to one of her father's favorites, Cafer Pasha. The expense of her dowry was covered by the Imperial Treasury at her father's behest.Шаблон:Sfn
On the wedding day, the bride was taken to Halil Pasha Palace, situated at Hoca Pasha, which had been allocated to the couple,Шаблон:Sfn in a carriage, accompanied by regiments comprised by dignitaries.Шаблон:Sfn According to some sources, Cafer Pasha didn't marry Gevherhan, but her aunt Atike Sultan.[1]
Said palace was reaffirmed as Gevherhan's property, after the fall of Ibrahim, by the regime of her brother Sultan Mehmed IV.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
She was secondly married to Çavuşzade Mehmed Pasha,Шаблон:Sfn at a date variously suggested to be, uncertain, as early as 1647Шаблон:Sfn or 1653.Шаблон:Sfn He served twice as Grand Admiral, as Vizier and in various other capacities and died in 1681.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
In 1672, she was among several figures of the harem to accompany her brother Sultan Mehmed in his Wallachian campaign against Kamianets-Podilskyi.Шаблон:Sfn
The princess apparently spent the years following Mehmed Pasha's death at Edirne,Шаблон:Sfn – a place of increased interest for her brother Sultan Mehmed and his court – and was married thirdly, on 13 JanuaryШаблон:Sfn 1692, at the age of fifty, to Helvacı Yusuf Pasha, Grand Admiral.Шаблон:Sfn He would die in 1714.,Шаблон:Sfn while Gevherhan died in 1694.
Death

Debts
Following Gevherhan Sultan's demise, the entirety of her wares and properties in Istanbul or Edirne – which included a palace, a yali (waterfront manse), a garden, a bakery, real estate like millsШаблон:Sfn – was confiscated in favour of the imperial treasury.
The late princess is understood to have been in great debt, as is demonstrated by Topkapı Palace archives dating 28 November 1694,Шаблон:Sfn a substantial amount of which was owed to her brother Sultan Ahmed II’s consort Rabia Sultan.
Some of the debts mentioned were covered by the allocation of Gevherhan's grants from her hass, that is revenue-producing estates to Asiye Sultan, the infant daughter of Ahmed and RabiaШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn as shown in archives dating 1 December 1694.Шаблон:Sfn This has made some think that she may have been Ahmed II's full sister and therefore Muazzez Sultan's daughter.
