Hello, and please accept my apologies for the inconvenience. The issue with Sehzade Mehmed is that he is not mentioned as the son of Kösem in any of the contemporary sources of any traveler or ambassador. Ahmed married Kösem in 1605, and she gave birth to her first daughter, Ayse Sultan, in the same year. In 1616, the Venetian diplomat Bertuccio Valier stated that the sultan refused to allow the two eldest princes (Osman and Mehmed) to converse with Kösem. It would be absurd for Ahmed to refuse her request to communicate with any of her sons, especially given she was close to him at the time and had a lot of influence over how the state was administered.

The second and last reason was that Osman II ordered Sehzade Mehmed's execution. Who, like Ahmed, was deeply devoted to Kösem. If Osman really wanted to kill her sons, he would have murdered Murad, Suleiman, Kash, and Ibrahim as well, but he didn't because he respected her.

I don't consider this page to be "owned" by me; I simply wanted to spread the word about her and her life to as many people as possible. Everyone is invited to make an edit, but please double-check your facts before doing so, and consult reliable sources such as Leslie P. Pierce and other renowned historians and researchers on the subject. We're searching for facts, not assertions.

If you have anymore inquiries, please do keep on contacting me. Thank you very much.
