Makhidevran, by order of the sovereign, in a short time lost her only son, grandson and beloved daughter-in-law.
It would seem that the unfortunate woman already had a lot of trials, but even this was not enough for Suleiman. Once a beloved woman, he deprives of everything that he once awarded, leaving in complete poverty literally on the street.
Of course, this did not happen all at once. After Mustafa's execution, Mahidevran retained all the privileges and title of a member of the Ottoman dynasty, and she also had a piece of Mustafa in her upbringing - his daughter Nergishah Sultan.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan did not give the thought that one day Mustafa would ascend the throne and then she and her children would be in trouble. Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska manages to get rid of the main candidate for the throne, but the passions in the harem do not subside. Now a war has begun between her two sons Selim and Bayezid.
Each requires the mother to choose whom she supports. But, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, as a mother, cannot make a choice. After all, if he supports one, then he will refuse the other.
Brothers and without the support of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska started a war. Selim, armed with the support of the new Grand Vizier, Ahmed Pasha, substitute Bayezid, accusing him of treason. Everything goes to the fact that Bayazid repeats the fate of Mustafa.
The overlord orders Bayezid to suppress the rebellion of the false Mustafa, and Bayezid decides to settle everything in peace.
And he succeeds, but at the last moment, the false Mustafu grabs the army of Ahmed Pasha, and Bayazid is accused of complicity.
To save her son and prove to Suleiman that he is not a rebel, and was not going to go against the will of his father, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska developed a new intrigue.
She ordered Sokol to inform Suleiman that Bayazid had nothing to do with it, and Mahidevran supplied the army of false Mustafa with money and weapons.
Suleiman could have executed Makhidevran for such an act, but apparently the pangs of conscience for the execution of Mustafa did not allow him to do this, and he simply decided to deprive her of his support, home, title and pension. And also, he forbade any communication with the granddaughter of Nergishah - the sultan.
Is it worth condemning Suleiman at the table for his harsh treatment of the woman he has ever loved?
Makhidevran was once on the same (and maybe even higher) level with Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan, but she did not have enough intelligence and wisdom to keep the sovereign near her. Her anger and hatred turned against herself. And despite the fact that once Makhidevran dreamed of executing all the sons of Khyurrem, it was Selim who ascended the throne, took pity on her and returned to her everything that Suleiman once took away.
As for Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, when Mihrimah asked her mother if she felt sorry for the woman who had already suffered grief, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska answered:
- This is a war in which I won. If Mahidevran won, then everything that she is experiencing now, I would experience with you.
