Hüsnüşah Hatun was the consort of Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire.

Life

Hüsnüşah Hatun was born in 1454 to a Nasuh Bey. Bayezid was still a şehzade and the governor of Amasya sanjak when she gave birth to Şehzade Şehinşah in 1474, followed by Sultanzade Sultan.

According to Turkish tradition, all princes were expected to work as provincial governors as a part of their training. In 1481 Şehinşah, was sent to Manisa sanjak and then in 1483 to Karaman, and Hüsnüşah accompanied him. She built and endowed a mosque at Manisa in 1490.

After Şehzade Şehinşah's death in 1511, Hüsnüşah Hatun came to Bursa. Hüsnüşah Hatun also corresponded with Selim I, Şehinşah's victorious brother, on behalf of Mevlana Pir Ahmed Çelebi, a scholar who had been at Şehinşah's court and who was neglected when the members of the prince's household were assigned new posts. She lies buried in Muradiye Complex, Bursa.
