Biography
She was married by her half-brother Ahmed in late 1604 to Kara Davud Pasha.[1] Marriage was consummated in 1605–06. When her brother ascended to the throne for the first time, Davud Pasha was Kapudan Pasha.[2] After Mustafa I ascended to the throne for the second time, Şah planned with Halime Sultan and Davud Pasha to put their son on the throne. After her husband was executed in January 1623, her fate remains unknown; or she was killed in 1623 or she retired with Halime Sultan in the Old Palace.
