Ayşe Hafsa Sultan〔 There were half a dozen notable female figures in Ottoman history who were named "Hafsa". Among these, it is ''Ayşe Hafsa Sultan'' who is referred to as "Hafsa Sultan" in short, "Sultan" in this case standing for "Sultana". A namesake also of primary historical prominence and who had preceded ''Ayşe Hafsa Sultan'' by about two centuries was the wife of the sultan Bayezid I and the daughter of İsa Bey, the last bey of Aydin, and she is generally referred to as ''Hafsa (Hâfize) Khātun''. It is this earlier Hafsa who is at the origin of the final form the name of a town depending Edirne, Havsa, has taken. The word ''Hâfiz'' designates a male person who memorized the Qur'an, and ''Hâfize'' indicates that the person is female. ''Hafsa'' is the more common and easier to pronounce, especially when fastly discoursed, of this name. 〕 (fully ''Devletlu İsmetlu Ayşe Hafsa Valide Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân Hazretleri''; ; 5 December 1479 – 19 March 1534), or in short, Hafsa Sultan, was the first "Valide Sultan" of the Ottoman Empire, wife of Selim I and mother of Suleiman the Magnificent. During the period between her son's enthronement in 1520 and her death in 1534, she was one of the most influential persons in the Empire, as her son's de facto co-regent during these fourteen years, coming second only to the sovereign, which is a point remarked also by the ambassadors of European powers at the Ottoman court.〔Pietro Bragadin, Venetian Republic's ambassador in the early years of Suleiman the Magnificent's reign notes "a very beautiful woman of 48, for whom the sultan bears great reverence and love..." 〕 ==Origins== Although Ayşe Hafsa Sultan’s year of birth is known, historians debate that she was the daughter of Meñli I Giray. According to an alternative theory, the daughter of Meñli I Giray of the Crimean Khanate was the ''First'' consort of Selim I known as Ayşe Hatun, consequently the step-mother of Suleiman the Magnificent. However, Ayşe Hafsa Sultan is only confused with her and Ayesha Begum was the sister of Ayşe Hafsa Sultan and the wife of Sultan Selim I's brother Şehzade Mehmed. In 1511, she entered the harem Sultan Selim I, when he was the governor of Amasya, thus securing for him, in the person of her powerful father, a valuable ally in the prince's struggle for the throne.〔(Family tree of Giray dynasty )〕〔Elena Vladimirovna Boĭkova, R.
