In 1481 Korkut, Selim's principal rival, was sent to Manisa sanjak (then known as Saruhan) and then to Anatolia and back to Manisa, and Nigar accompanied him.[5] After the death of Şehzade Korkut, Nigar Hatun came to Antalya in 1513 when her son was executed by Selim. In retirement she occupied herself with pious works.[5]
