    Life

    She is known to have been born in Manisa, so she is considered to be the daughter of Safiye Sultan. She was named after Murat's cousin Hümaşah, who introduced her mother to her father in princehood. That she is the eldest daughter of Safiye is indicated by the fact that she married Nisar Mustafazade Mehmed Pasha in the early 1580s. After Pasha's death in 1586, Hümaşah is no longer mentioned, and nothing more is known about her.[1] It is assumed that the reason for that was her death, which most likely happened during the plague of 1598, since there is no information about her further life.[2]

    In the series Magnificent Century - Kosem, the character of Hümaşah Sultan, the eldest daughter of Safiye Sultan, was shown by the actress Vildan Atasever. It is shown in the series that she was married to Yemenli Hasan Pasha and Zülfikar Pasha, but these are most likely untrue facts.
