Mihrimah is the only and beloved daughter of the ruler of the world himself and the most influential lady of the Ottoman Empire, Khyurrem Sultan.
The creators of the series "The Magnificent Century", Mihrimah, presented us with a kind of scum. Whom I see and love, be it a poet, a doctor or a fugitive prince, and what they say, I will do - I have no opinion.
In fact, Mihrimah Sultan in the history of the Ottoman Empire was completely different, as we were shown in the series.
In today's article, we will focus specifically on the real life of the mistress, and not on the fictional plots of her favorite series.
Mihrimah Sultan was a fair-haired mistress, whose upbringing mother took seriously. The young lady studied a lot, read and was devout.
After the departure of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, Mihrimah took her place next to the sovereign. It was to her that he entrusted all the harem affairs and shared about political issues. Mihrimah, after the departure of mother, became the most influential woman in the harem.
Mihrimah, as in the series, supported her brother Bayezid for a long time, but after his disastrous campaign against Selim, she switched to the side of her second brother. Selim became the ruler, Mihrimah did not forget to thank for this act and gave her a tidy sum of 50,000 gold.
After Rustem left, Mihrimakh moved to the Sultan's palace.
Mihrimah was well educated and had an active interest in politics. It was Mihrimah who negotiated with the Polish king Sigismund II Augustus.
After Suleiman left, the lady did not leave the Sultan's palace. She also had influence and respect in the harem under Selim's reign and only after his death moved to the old palace.
Murad respected and loved his aunt and gave her a very large salary, and after her death, he organized a luxurious funeral, burying her in the Suleymaniyah mosque, next to his father and mother.
Mihrimah Sultan was able to outlive all her brothers and died at the age of 56. At about the same age, Khyurrem Sultan left this world.
