The actor from the Turkish TV series “The Magnificent Century” Halit Ergench accurately conveyed the paternal feelings that the ruler of the Ottoman Empire had for his beloved daughter Mihrimah Sultan.

Khurem Sultan she gained power in the harem not only thanks to the love of Sultan Suleiman for her. She earned honor and respect by giving the Ottoman dynasty five children – everything is simple: the more sons you have, the more power you have. And Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan had four shehzade: Mehmet, Selim, Bayazid and Cihangir. In addition, the sultana gave birth to the ruler’s daughter Mihrimah Sultan. It was to this little girl that Sultan Suleiman was imbued with a special paternal feeling. And it surprised even Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska herself. After all, she believed that the ruler would love her sons more than anyone else.

The TV series “The Magnificent Age” clearly shows the moment when Sultan Suleiman explains to the Slavic favorite why he treats Mihrimah with such tenderness. And his words greatly flattered the vanity of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan. So, the sovereign made it clear that the young daughter reminds him of that Roksolana, who had just appeared in the harem, young, laughingchallenging everyone and everything. By the way, Mihrimah Sultan was well aware of the power given to her by the boundless love and affection of her father-ruler. The sultana, if necessary, reminded everyone, and even the sisters of Sultan Suleiman, what privileges she was endowed with in the Ottoman Empire.

“I am a lady and difficult! My name is Mihrimah Sultan. I am the daughter of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan! – says Valide’s granddaughter in the series “The Magnificent Century”.

However, some researchers argue that Sultan Suleiman was cunning when Hurrem Sultan spoke regarding the reasons for his attachment to Mihrimah. The fatherly daughter of the padishah loved not at all because she was a copy of her mother. She was simply the only one who did not claim his throne. After all, girls might not become heirs. Sultan Suleiman saw the sons-shehzade as a threat to his rule, while Mihrimah, on the contrary, supported her father, taking care of him in old age following the death of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan.
