===Daughters=== Ahmed I had at least eleven daughters: * ''Fülane'' Sultan (Early 1605, Constantinople-?) - She was born between the births of her half-brothers Osman and Mehmed. According to Venetian Bailo, Ottovaino Bon's report, her mother was another concubine whose name is not known- a woman other than Mahfiruz and Kösem.<ref>Tezcan, Baki: THE DEBUT OF KÖSEM SULTAN’S POLITICAL CAREER; “Non ha la Maestà Sua sposata alcuna schiava fin hora, et si ritrova haver con tredonne quattro figli, due maschi et due femine.
