## Why They Matter
Saliha Dilaşub Sultan matters historically because she occupied one of the Ottoman court’s most influential maternal positions: **Valide Sultan**, tied directly to the reign of **Suleiman II**. Her significance in the record is dynastic and institutional—she connects the household of **Ibrahim I** to the later sultanate of **Suleiman II**, and her tenure is explicitly placed within the succession of Valide Sultans (between **Turhan Sultan** and **Gülnuş Sultan**). Without her, the documented maternal lineage and court structure surrounding Suleiman II’s reign would be different, since she is identified as his mother and the holder of the Valide Sultan office during his rule.
