Mahşirin Hatun

**Mahşirin Hatun** (Yoman Language: ماهشیرین هاتون; *"lovely moon";* first name Daemera Aember; 1223-1269) was a consort of Orhan's first son, Süleyman Mustafa Bey. She was the daughter of Haether Aember and was took together with her sister, Yrene by Süleyman during the fall of House Aember.

## Erly life

Daemera was born in Ka-Faer-cujon Castle, was the daughter of the Lady Haether Aember and her firts husband Joergio Aelber. She had a blood sister called Yrene.

She was married in 1238 to her half brother, Miriem, he was 13 years old while she was 15. The marriage was consumed in 1241 and in the end 1242 she gave birth a boy. When she show the boy to her husband he decided to call him Fraevor, like one of his best friends. Subsequently they had other two children a boy and a girl.

## Fall of House Aember

Daemera was in the Aember Castle during the Suleyman's attack. It say that she was running away from the chaos. Is not really clear if it was true but it say that some men that found the woman were about to rape her but Suleyman intervened and saved her, is more possible that she was rape like every women who was present in a raid and Suleyman, which was present in the raid, was one of her rapist and decided to take her a concubine. However it's much more certain that she was near to her mother or somehow it was clear that she was one of the aember princesses and that Suleyman had already targeted them as possible concubines. This fact is reinforced by the fact that we know the identity of the woman as princess which perphaps would not be so clear if she had been raped, since she could be mistaken for a citizen along with any other women.

The destiny of her family is unknown but really possibly died.

## Life in the harem

She was in her thirties while Suleyman was already over forty during the fall of House Aember. Some historicians say that she didn't impose resistence to Suleyman and that she acepted fast her new life. However is not a good thing romanticize the concubines life, very possibly her suffered in the first time and is really really possible that Suleyman raped her, this is thinking due the fact her first daughter Bihrima Hatun was born only a year after the fall of House Aember in 1254, suggesting that given the sadness of having lost her family and house and still not beign able to bear a sexual act due to this fellings, Suleyman was so attracted to the woman that he raped her. The fact is that Mahsirin was his most beloved concubine even if this love may or may noy have been reciprocated. Suleyman gave her a name that means "lovley moon", and gave her an important position over her other female co-cunts, including both Gülfiruz Hatun and her sister Gülgüneş Hatun.

She had at least another daughter but her name is unknown.
