Hürrem - Beautiful pink shadow in the life of the Sultan of power

Possessing the beautiful beauty and intelligence, Hürrem is the pink shadow that holds the heart of Suleiman, the greatest Sultan who ever ruled the Turkish empire.

According to Ancient Origins, Hürrem was a slave in Topkapi Castle, but only a short time later, she became the most powerful woman of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey today. The name Hürrem was given to her by Sultan Suleiman I as "cheerful person" , but in the eyes of many opponents, she was the emperor's most dangerous weapon.

Suleiman I ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1520 to 1566. He was considered the greatest Sultan in history, also known as Suleiman the Great or Kanuni (ie the Lawmaker ). During his reign, he created influence in European countries and the Middle East.

Suleiman's life turned to a turning point in 1520. In September 1520, his father Selim I suddenly died. Suleiman I was crowned shortly thereafter and in the same year, he met the woman of his life. Historians refer to her as Roxolena or Rossa , but the name she called the most when she was alive was Hürrem.

Hürrem , real name Alexandra Lisowska, was born in 1502 in the town of Rohatyń, 68 km southeast of the capital of Poland, Lwów. The Krym Tatar made her a slave when plundering the area. Later, Hürrem was taken to the city of Constantinople (Istanbul today), and joined the harem.

Thanks to beauty and intelligence, Hürrem quickly caught his attention. For the first time in the history of the dynasty, the Sultan was attached to a single woman. Hürrem gave birth to Suleiman 6 children in turn. This further strengthened her position in the palace.

From after entering the palace, Hürrem learned Turkish, mathematics, astronomy, geography, diplomacy, literature and history. Thanks to her excellent knowledge, she became Suleiman's adviser in national affairs. Dissatisfied with the royal title, Hürrem sought to officially take the throne.

First, she asked to teach about Islam. Suileman has no reason to refuse. After a while, Hürrem expressed his desire to follow Islam. When the conversion ceremony ended, Hürrem declared a new religion that did not allow her to have sex with her unmarried man. According to historians, her plan was successful. At first, Suleiman refused, but after three days decided to marry her.

Hürrem died on April 15, 1858 after an illness. Suleiman buried Hürrem in the tomb of the temple dedicated to him and 8 years later, the Sultan also rested beside her.

Hürrem is remembered for his contributions to the country and her role in Suleiman's life. After Suleiman's death, Hürrem's son succeeded the throne and continued to rule the Turkish empire.
