Fahriye Sultan
Fahriye Sultan (Ottoman Turkish: فهریه سلطان; died in 1656), also known as Fahri Sultan was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Murad III (reign 1574–1595) of the Ottoman Empire. Her mother possibly was Safiye Sultan if she born after Safiye's return from exile in the Old Palace. In 1595 her father died and her brother, Mehmed III ascended to the throne. There is no information that Fahriye was married during her brother's reign so it is believed that she remained unmarried. In 1603 her brother died and her thirteen-year-old nephew ascended to the throne. Ahmed married Fahriye to Çuhadar Ahmed Pasha in 1604. The marriage remained childless and the pasha died in 1618.
