The execution of the Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha excited the whole world. Even Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, who was one of the few who knew the true reason for such an unexpected order of the sovereign, was shocked by what happened.
Ibrahim took every promotion for granted. He was confident in his friendship with the sovereign and did not even think that he could be executed.
It was pride and greatness that ruined Pargala. At every opportunity, the pasha said that it was he who ruled the Ottoman Empire, and it was he who made decisions. And the sovereign only issues decrees.
Of course, such an influential person has many enemies who will not miss the moment to ruin the narcissistic vizier. And so it happened.
Opponents, and in particular Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, accurately informed the sovereign that he was speaking behind his back in negotiations with ambassadors and other high-ranking people.
These words hit Suleiman painfully in the heart, he loved and trusted Ibrahim and treated him like a friend, brother. And to hear such words in his address from a person whom the sovereign himself raised so high - touched to the depths of the soul.
Suleiman took this as a betrayal and a personal insult. And if the sultan had accompanied his friend on his last journey with honors, many would have decided that he made a wrong decision.
The decision to execute Suleiman was very difficult, but he understood that Ibrahim would not stop, because the sultan had already warned him more than once.
Suleiman was so shocked by the betrayal of his friend that after the execution he did not even honor the former Grand Vizier with a grave.
Ibrahim was buried by Matrakchi's faithful friend in a secret place, which only Nigar - khatun told about.
According to historical facts, the grave of Ibrahim is located in Istanbul, the Fyndikli district among multi-storey buildings and is not at all inconspicuous.
Also, many people have a question: Why was the pasha strangled, and not beheaded in the square, as a traitor?
In those days, people in high positions were executed without bloodshed.
