Murad Takes Kosem’s Powers Away - Women of the Harem #90 | Magnificent Century Kosem

They were both right not to have her. She, because she thought she would forever rule men. He, because he desperately wanted to escape his domineering mother. Except that in that world, women could rule from behind a man's back. Strong women were terrifying. The world lies at the mother's feet, right?

Such a power hungry monster...

Even, I believe the Ottoman fall-off started the moment the women started to interfere in state affairs. And it started from here. Under the influence of Hurrem Sulemian destroyed the Ottoman dynasty by favouring her son to be the sultan despite who was the best among them to rule.

The problem with the ottoman empire is that the succession wasn't going based on merit. Or at least seniority of the offspring. The one who ended up taking the throne was the one who was better at plotting and killing his brothers before he ended up being preyed upon

@@ΔημΣΚ uh, no, they do that for like when the Sultan, the male character who should actually rule the empire, is too young to understand anything so that's why Kosem took regency while Murad was young and Murad just didn't wanted to have her on his back when he already knows what he's doing (that's when he's older and more wiser)
