What happens
Wife and widow of Selim I, Ayse Hafsa Sultan is the first "Valide Sultan" or Queen Mother of the Ottoman Empire. Her marriage to the then-prince Selim secured for him a powerful and valuable ally in her father Menli I Giray which helped the prince in his struggle for the throne. The Mesir Festival is held every year to celebrate the healing concoction of herbs and spices administered to Ayse Hafsa Sultan when she became ill. She rules as her son's de facto co-regent which signals a shifting status of the sultan's mother and her increased share in power.
