Click for full episodes playlist 👉 • Magnificent Century Fu...
At the age of 26, when he ascended to the throne, Sultan Suleiman aimed to build an empire more powerful than Alexander the Great and to render the Ottomans invincible. Throughout his 46-year reign, he became the greatest warrior and ruler of both East and West.
The young Suleiman received news of his succession to the throne during a hunting party in 1520. Unaware that he would be ruling a reign beyond his dreams, he left behind his wife son and took to the road with his close friend and companion Pargali Ibrahim to reach the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul. As they started their journey overland, an Ottoman ship set sail from Crimea in the Black Sea, bringing female slaves as gifts for the Ottoman palace… On this ship was Alexandra La Rossa, the daughter of a Ukrainian Orthodox minister, taken away from her family and sold to the Crimean palace. She had no idea that she would become Hurrem, wife of Sultan Suleiman and mother of princes, ruling the empire with him through bloodshed and intrigue.
As Sultan Suleiman conquered the world, his great passion for Hurrem would clash with his love for and trust in his closest friend and advisor, Grand Vizier Pargali Ibrahim, all set against the backdrop of the tension between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century.

The irony is that, in reality, there was no such rule or tradition. In fact, Hürrem was specifically elevated (through freedom, marriage, and the creation of the Haseki Sultan title) after Hafsa's death in order to take over as the head of the harem and senior woman of the dynasty. Still unsure why the show decided to change the timeline so much and have this happen instead.

How do you think they'd make 300 episodes of 1+ hour each if they shoot according to the real history. They made up many things up.

There were no hatice ibrahim either

[@Redluna32]

@@ish_14 I mean, for starters the "real history" was plenty dramatic enough 🤷There are some outright gaps in the historical record for which things need to be invented, sure, but this is some outright messing with the timeline that actually makes for some weird, bad writing hence why I question the choice for it.

[@Redluna32]

@@ish_14 Honestly, trying to bring up Hatice's marriage to Ibrahim isn't really comparable to this situation since, for a considerable amount of time, it _was_ believed to be true. It's only in recent memory that it was debunked.

That's only limited. It never happened irl tho mahidevran never ruled the imperial harem
