Şekerpare Hatun

In 1644 the Grand vizier Kemankeş Mustafa Pasha's standing was threatened by a powerful faction which was controlling the appointment and dismissal of certain individuals, even enriching its members in the process.

A dispute arose between her and Kösem Sultan due to this bribery,[4] and finally Şekerpare was exiled[2] to the island of Chios or to Egypt in May 1648, when she died in 1649.

He advanced in his career through his connection to Şekerpare; he first became agha of janissaries with the vizierate, and then held the post of intendant of finances.

[6] The treasure of Egypt was lavished on Ibrahim's favourite wives and women, which included Şekerpare.

[2] In early 1648 she endowed a fountain in Istanbul,[10] and commissioned the building of her own mausoleum at Eyüp, which, however, remained empty.
