Şehzade Kasım (Ottoman Turkish: شهزاده قاسم; 1614 – 17 February 1638) was an Ottoman prince and the son of Sultan Ahmed I and his Haseki Kösem Sultan.[1][2] He was the brother of Murad IV and Ibrahim, and half-brother of Osman II.
Şehzade Kasım was born in 1614 in Topkapı Palace to Ahmed I and Kösem Sultan. Following his father’s early death in 1617, he, along with his mother and brothers, were banished to the Old Palace (Eski Sarayı).
After Murad’s accession in 1623, Kasım was confined in the Kafes, which was the part of the Imperial Harem where possible successors to the throne were kept under a form of house-arrest and constant surveillance by the palace eunuchs.[3][4]
