Göde Ahmad married his cousin
Aynışah Sultan, a daughter of Sultan
Bayezid II (brother of his mother
Gevherhan Hatun). Together, they had a son and two daughters: • Neslihan Hanımsultan; married to his cousin Şehzade Alaeddin Ali, son of
Şehzade Ahmed, himself one of Aynışah's half-siblings. She had a daughter, Hvandi Sultan. • Hanzade Hanımsultan; married in 1508 her cousin Sultanzade Yahyapaşaoğlu Bali Bey, son of Şahzade Sultan (daughter of Bayezid II). The union was a failure, as the couple lived in separation and the princess, per a report of her behaviour to Sultan Selim in 1516, engaged in a string of scandalous acts. Caught committing adultery with a man at
Skopje, who was killed along with six members of her household, she then relocated against permission to
Istanbul where she took a young
Quran reciter, known as Dellakoğlu Bak, as a lover, bearing him a daughter who died aged approximately six months old. Upon his death of
malaria at Babaeski, en route from Edirne to Istanbul, she found a new companion in his brother. The letter's author, most likely Selim's son and her own cousin, the future
Suleiman the Magnificent, then based at Edirne, credited her acts to the help of her ″boundless and unparalleled″ wealth and several named procuring servants. • Sultanzade Zeyneddin Bey (May/June 1497 - 1508); reportedly born the same day that news of Göde Ahmed's takeover of the Ağ Qoyunlu throne was received. == Quotes ==
