# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Halime Sultan became consort to Mehmed III around 1570 and bore Mustafa I, a son whose fragile mind would shape her late career. She lived through seven sultans' reigns, watching the palace shift around her. When Mustafa took the throne in 1617, his instability forced her into the role of Valide Sultan and de facto co-ruler until he was deposed the next year. He returned in 1622, and so did she, resuming power until 1623. She was a central figure in the Sultanate of Women, the decades when mothers and consorts steered an empire from behind latticed screens.
