Throughout the series, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan fought for the "happiness and life" of her own children.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan had everything in the palace: power, wealth, and most importantly the love and trust of the sovereign. But, she could lose all this overnight - if not her son, but the son of Makhidevran, Mustafa, ascends the throne.
She wove a lot of "dirty" intrigues against the shehzade, but nevertheless she achieved her goal - the sovereign ordered the execution of his own son.
It would seem that now Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan can sleep peacefully, after the sovereign one of her sons will ascend the throne.
But the people and the janissaries, after the execution of their beloved Shehzade, decided to take revenge on Khyurrem - the Sultan and Rustem - on the Pasha, and to nominate little Mehmed, the seven-year-old son of Mustafa, to the throne.
Syumbyul - aha, having heard the conversation of the Janissaries, hurried to warn Khyurrem - the Sultan, and she immediately sent a letter to the sovereign.
Suleiman has already executed his own son, which he should also execute his grandson. And he gives the order: just like Mustafa, "kill" little shehzade Mehmet with a silk cord.
Suleiman all his life was afraid to become cruel, like his father Sultan Selim, but in this act, in my opinion, he surpassed his father in cruelty.
For some reason, I immediately remembered the plot when Suleiman regretted pouring lime over the anthill, which destroyed the tree he had planted. I was afraid of the answer to Allah for the lives of so many innocently killed ants. He regretted insects, but ruined his son and grandson.
The execution took place and the order was carried out immediately after Mustafa's burial.
Is there a sin on the hands of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan for the execution of the little shehzade. Sure.
Little shehzadeh was still an innocent child, and suffered because of dirty palace games.
It is very difficult to condemn or approve of her actions. The times of the Ottoman Empire were supported by cruel traditions and customs, and any mother will stand up for her children. But it’s painfully sorry for the little shehzade.
