Alime Sultan

The Valide Sultan of Mustafa I was a consort of Ottoman sultan Mehmed III and the mother of Mustafa I. She was de facto coruler as the Valide Sultan fromNovember 1617 toFebruary 1618 and again fromMay 1622 toSeptember 1623. While she, as the concubine of Mehmed III, had suffered the same obscurity as Handan Sultan, she was clearly able to command greater status as Valide Sultan than her fellow consort had. This was probably in large measure because she exercised power more directly, acting as regent for her mentally incompetent son. His mental condition made him a puppet, controlled by both her and her soninlaw, the grand vizier Kara Davud Pasha.
