The youngest son of Khyurrem, Jihangir from birth was a capricious child and in the harem he was often heard crying.
At first, no one paid attention to this, believing that the reason for this was the child's colic, but even the dill herb did not help calm the younger Shahzadeh.
Tired of the constant crying of a child, Suleiman invites the best physician in the state to understand what is the reason.
After examining the child, the doctor gives a disappointing diagnosis - the younger heir grows a hump, from which there is no medicine and which will hurt the youngest son all his life.
The only salvation is to try to put the child in a vice, that is, to stretch him. This operation did not give guarantees for improvement and was very risky, but the sultan nevertheless decided to carry it out.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, like any mother, suffered with her child and even ordered to bring a midwife.
But the midwife could not help with anything, but only said that this is the child's karma, which he will bear with pain all his life for other people's sins.
A picture from the TV series "Magnificent Century" (episode 54, season 2), when the shahzade is being stretched, is very difficult, and I could not look at it calmly.
The directors in this picture managed to convey all the pain of the child, Khyurrem and the Sultan, but unfortunately, such an operation did not bring success. And the younger shahzadeh will have to experience pain all his days.
The cause of such a disease is not known, perhaps it is the consequences of a difficult birth, or maybe it really is a payback for what his mother did. After all, for the sake of her happiness and the happiness of her children, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska ruined many innocent souls.
