The actor from the series “The Magnificent Century” made it clear why Roksolana so attracted the ruler of the Ottoman Empire and how she managed to keep his love.
Halit Ergench, who lived through all the seasons of the Turkish series “The Magnificent Century”, passing through himself, fate Sultan Suleiman, explained why the ruler of the Ottoman Empire had an incredible affection for the Slavic slave Roksolana. And the reason, according to partner Meryem Uzerli, is very prosaic.
In the 16th century, the concubines of Sultan Suleiman did not dare to show their rebellious feelings, demonstrating their defiance. Everything from Gulfem Khatun to Mahidevran Sultan, were forced to put up with the foundations and traditions of the harem. Everything, but not the Slavic favorite of the ruler.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan burst into the harem like a whirlwind. Always cheerful, playful – “Giving a smile and joy”, as the name is translated sultanshi, which Sultan Suleiman chose for the red-haired favorite. The Slavic concubine of the ruler did not want to listen to the instructions of Valide Sultan, the mother of Suleiman.
Rumor has it that for the sake of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, the padishah even dissolved his harem. The only love of the Sultan was Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, who gave him five children. The padishah even granted her freedom, performed the nikah ceremony, making the Slavic favorite a lawful wife, thereby elevating her above other concubines. Sultan Suleiman also came up with a special title for Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan – Haseki.
“The reason for his incredible affection is that she considers herself equal to him. And in every way she tried to show this to Suleiman. This seemed to the ruler very interesting and sincere, ”said Halit Ergench in a documentary regarding the filming of The Magnificent Century.
