When Turhan said “ if you want to be the strongest, you have to take down the strongest one” & she did it only bcz she was raised by the Strongest one KOSEM 👑 ❤
Hurrem started it, Kösem made it. That was the difference. Hurrem went through hardship with Suleyman on her side, while Kösem had to go through hardship alone. Kösem made herself powerful and never bowed to anyone, that’s why she is my favourite.
Los hombres reinan, las mujeres gobernamos (Nurbanu Sultan). Los hombres se sientan en el trono pero somos las mujeres quienes los llevan hasta el (Safiye Sultan).
@@azkamasood3136 go read she was way more powerful than hurrem, hurrem was a haski not a valide sultun and didnt have that big influence such as nurabanu safiya and halime sultun
what i couldnt understand was that after Hurrem died, it was a fight for her ring. That the ring was believed to be a symbol of power when it really was a symbol of love. Hurrem's ring had nothing to do with the power she achieved.
@@AbeeraShafqat-ag- I always hated that part. Never understood it either. I mean what was the point in stealing her ring? I mean come on NurBanu as along as Selim became Sultan, you would have power. Which happened. She had no reason for the ring
@@AbeeraShafqat-ag- maybe. personally, I always thought she was a bit of a bitch. Felt like she took it, just to try and prove she was better than Hurrem.
@@zaidqamar9884 how did Hürrem fight more than her? If Hürrem fought with Mahidevran, so Kösem had the same with Mahfiruz, according to history. If it's about Ibrahim, Kösem fought with Kemankesh, they were never friends if you read more about it. And Hürrem hasn't even become Valide Sultan. Hürrem was also blamed for ruining traditions, starting destruction of the empire and putting weak Selim on the throne instead of Mustafa who was loved by common people. She was also quite "disrespectful" to all these rules, even though diplomatic. I think both Hürrem and Kösem are great women and achieved a lot. But I wrote only about Kösem here. I don't think Kösem achieved less than Hürrem in any case.
I’m so proud of these women they left everything behind whatever they loved just to grow the empire and to keep the sultans happy I’m proud to be a women Love to all these beautiful and amazing wife’s ,mother’s ,sisters and daughter who leave everything behind. Women are strong too To all the guys who think that men can only be strong your in this world cus of a women who goes thru all this pain to bring you into this world
These women were captured from their homelands and enslaved to these men who happily killed their own brothers and sons for the throne. I wouldn't call this "leaving everything behind," I don't think they had much of a choice but to play the cards they had been dealt in life, captured for the whims and amusement of men.
@@theorion1405 They didnt, the men did, suleiman choose his drunkard son selim to sit on the throne, there were no incompetent kings after that, Mustafa and Ibrahim were both mentally unstable becuz of fear of their brothers and ahmed changed the fratricide law even knowing how power hungry these men were and they will still plot and scheme to kill their brothers causing the throne to be unstable. These women were enslaved against their will and still u all have no shame in shifting the blame and not holding those power hungry sultans accountable. Theres no historical proof of hurrem killing mustafa or kosem killing her sons. The show is pure fiction created by men to disrespect the worlds strongest queens becuz they couldn't stand them. Sultanas were powerful and earned that power with their own hands, the sultans were cruel who killed their own sons and brothers and blamed everyone else but themselves. Suleiman killed Mustafa out of jealousy, murad died of liver cirrhosis and caged and then killed his brothers sparing only Ibrahim resulting to him being mentally unstable later being killed by janissaries becuz of his tyranny. The sultans were born royalty who created the law of killing brothers for power and wealth, the sultanas were slaves who were forcibly kidnapped as young as 11 years old, who earned their power through brain, beauty, knowledge and cunningness and they did everything to ensure the safety of their children. The male show makers knew and envied that and they created this show to shift the blame on these powerful sultanas. Read real history, don't let this fiction fool u. Historical proof only shows that sultans were to blame for the downfall.

What i felt is Kosem was the most powerful one... she was the regent for long time... Hurrem always had Sulthan Sulaiman to back support her, and she died before becoming valide sulthanam... But on the other hand kosem she became more strong after Sulthan Ahmed's death. Safiya Sulthanam was also one among the powerful i guess... Dont know much about Nurbanu and Turhan...
hurrem started the era thats why shes importen remember the first step is always the hardest nurbanu was the first slave to become a valida sultan and put the idea of the thrown in her Husband head and turhan Prevented her son being overthrown and getting killed and she managed to kill kosem And she had her son back till she die that's why Her son is the second most long region Sultan and Technically kosem was the most powerful of them all but hurrem and kosem Remains as one of most important woman in the Empire
True but Hurrem started the Sultanate of Women. She showed that it was possible for a slave to become the true Empress of the Ottoman Empire. Everyone else followed her footsteps.
Hurrem-the first one to break so many traditional rules Nurbanu-her son the sultan listened to literally everything she said Safiye-her husband had 20 and more sons with ither woman because fo his mother's orders but he always stayed true to her and onky her Kosem-was a regent to 2 suktans i believe Turhan-she was the only one not being loved by her husband and still made it They were all so powerful omg
Mihrimah- valide sultan to her brother. The first and last sister of a sultan to hold the title, the most powerful imperial princess. She kept nurbanu limited in harem even when nurbanu got the valide sultan title, mihrimah continued as valide aunt.
@@DimSK. LOOOL no she should not, also that was not that long she got banished after by nurbanu, she did not go through half of what these powerful women went through. she does not even know what it means to take power for yourself. you will not find mihrimah apart of the sultanate of woman ever in history books. LOOL you don't even know history LMAO you guys watch one show and then decide to know everything that show is pathetic, does not even have 5 percent of actual history
@@DimSK. No .. she didn't... nurbano became valide sultan after selim death and she was also powerful in selim reign, selim married her after Suleiman death , gave her more Haq meher than his father gave to hurrem , her daily aspers were more than anyone else , she hid selim body after his death and sent his son message to come . And after Murad ascension she became the only valide sultan and mihrimah left
- Hurrem Sultan - Nurbanu Sultan - Safiye Sultan - Kösem Sultan - Turhan Sultan Honourable Mentions ❤️ - Mihrimah Sultan - Rabia Sultan - Ayse Hafsa Sultan - Sah Sultan - Humasha Sultan - Ayse Sultan, daughter of Kösem - Atike Sultan - Haseki Ayse Sultan - Akile Hatun - Meleksima Sultan - Gevherhan Sultan - Halime Sultan The last Haseki was Rabia, Consort of Ahmed II until the Haseki's took the title of 'Iqbal' instead. The last Valide Sultan was Rahime Perestu Sultan, adoptive mother of Abdulhamid II. Allah rahmet 🥰 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mihrimah shouldnt be part of the honerable mentions. She was part of the Sultanate of Women. In fact, she was the most powerful Imperial Princesses. After Selim II ascended the throne, he gave her the title of Valide Sultan.
Also, nurbanu eldest daughter should be in sultanate woman. She was active in political marriage during selim reign and help her mother nurbanu to fight mihrimah and safiye
Hurrem is the Legend even after 600 years, considered as the most powerful Sultana in the Ottoman Empire . She broke the glass ceiling for royal women and started Era of Sultanate of Women. Her story is an inspiring look at how one woman can bring so much influence and change to a leader and an empire, even if husband stands behind you! Hurrem’s power in the Sultan’s court grew stronger with every passing year. As Navagero wrote in 1553, “there has not been in the Ottoman house a lady that has had more authority.” Her authority showed not only in her firm grip over Suleiman’s heart but also in her ability to compete with the male rivals in Suleiman’s court, and to be a skillful sovereign and ruler. Suleiman the Magnificent repeatedly came to her for counsel and even appointed her as his STATE ADVISOR in foreign affairs, which allowed her to act as a diplomat with foreign powers. Also, it’s recorded by history that she was official Divan member, attending meetings, voting, listening to males and taking part of the meetings “under the dome”, which is called the Kubbealtı. Only men were doing this before her. Hurrem also had a seal, that allowed her to correspond to MALE rulers and kings around the world. Before that females of the empire were only allowed to correspond with female rulers (like empress or queen : Russia and England) or princesses. Hurrem acted as a diplomat with foreign powers through her letters using the title of Shah (queen), from the day she became first and only wife of Padisah in Ottoman history. It is seen that his signature is always referred to as " The State of İsmetlu Hürrem Shah Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân". Hurrem also ruled the empire when Sultan was away on wars, signing important documents on his behalf and receiving diplomats and foreign ambassadors. Hurrem was a keen advisor to Suleiman in political matters, particularly when he was absent from Istanbul on his numerous military campaigns. She regularly sent letters to the Sultan, in which, in addition to expressing her great love and longing for him, she also informed him of the situation in the capital and of any events that required his immediate attention or action. In being thus vigilant, Hurrem protected Suleiman’s interests and contributed to the success of his reign. There is no doubt that Suleiman trusted her more than he did his male advisors. Hurrem is known to have been very generous to the poor. Not only did Hurrem Sultan exercise unprecedented influence on state politics as Suleiman’s chief advisor and diplomat with foreign powers, but she was also fully devoted to philanthropy. Hurrem’s charitable work surpassed any of Ottoman women in volume and geographic reach. She gave inordinate sums of money to help the poor and needy, she built and sponsored endowments (waqfs) in cities like Istanbul, Constantinople, Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Baghdad, Konya, Edirne, Bulgaria. Her major charitable projects include: ✔️Haseki Sultan Complex in Istanbul-(Haseki Hürrem Sultan Külliyesi) that consists of a Friday mosque, a soup-kitchen (imaret), a madrasa, an elementary school (mektep) and a hospital(Haseki Dar al-Shifa). The latter is still used as a polyclinic by Haseki State Hospital. ✔️ Two Quranic schools ✔️ Women hospital near the women's slave market (Avret Pazary). ✔️Hurrem Sultan Fountain in Istanbul, Sultanahmet area, a landmark in Istanbul and favorite spot for tourists for taking vacation photos with beautiful background. ✔️ Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse (Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı)- receives guests and tourists daily and is now operated by Haseki Tourism Group. ✔️ Khaseki Sultan Complex in Jerusalem, that included a mosque, large khan (inn)-caravanserai for travelers and merchants, a 55-room-shelter for pilgrims, a bakery for the conduct of charity services for the poor, flour mills, water mills, soap factories, an area with cellars, public toilets, stables and a soup kitchen “Haseki Sultan Imaret” serving more than 500 Jerusalem's paupers, al-Aqsa's needy worshipers and seminarists. Most of the buildings, apart from the lodge and the mosque, are still standing today. The charitable soup kitchen called “Takiyah Khaski Sultan Al-Imara” works to present day, with two meals still being served to the poor and homeless according to Hürrem's original recipe! ✔️ A caravanserai, mosque and soup kitchen built in the city of Svilengrad , Bulgaria, the name of which was Cisr-i M Ustafa Pasha at that time. ✔️Charitable soup kitchens “Haseki Imarets” in Edirne, Mecca, Medina, Konya, Baghdad. ✔️At one point Hurrem even sold her own gold, pearls and jewels to pay for Janissaries’ (Ottoman soldier’s) boots and a hike in their pay. Apart from these Hurrem is also known to frequently send her embroideries and handmade perfumes to slaves, poor women and Harrem concubines. Hurrem was the first in many things. Even where she was buried was a first. Suleiman buried her in his mosque complex. Not her own as it used to be according the Ottoman’s law. In HIS. Even after 600 years, Hurrem is loved and resppected in the world by milllions for her thousands charities, strength, smartness, boldness! POWER! 👑👑👑🔝🔝🔝
@@melsangstydiaryWho told you that Kosem Sultan was not strong during the era of Mustafa and Osman!! On the contrary, she had control over some of the Janissary army divisions and scholars, and it was able to put Murad on the throne during the reign of Mustafa. It was also able to protect Murad’s throne during the period when he was young.
I wish soon, Tim's production will recreate a series focusing on the Sultanate of women, could start during the near end reign of Valide Ayseh Hafşa Sultan as their precursor down to Hurrem, Nurbanu, Safiye, (also with Handan and Halime) to Kosem and then Turhan
I would prefer the era of nurbanu-mihrimah as valide sultan-safiye then mihrimahs death and safiye against nurbanu. Turhans life wouldn't hurt aswell, it's possible she was poisoned sooo it would be interesting with so many Princes alive and sultanas exiled to old palace.
@@birb5571 Far from accurate to be honest, Ottoman women in 16th Century should be wearing loose fitting kaftan and pants, rather than European style dress, the European dress only became popular among the harem ladies during 19th Century after Empress Eugénie of France visited the harem. You can look up for Lady Sadberk Museum to get a glimpse of Ottoman women fashion throughout time, also there's a 2010 Turkish movie called Mahpeyker Kösem Sultan, which also featuring some pretty accurate costumes.
For me, Only Hurrem Sultana has the swag, she can be nice, kind, fair and at the same time witch defends how you treat her., Kosem might be the strongest in history., but on fictional series, Meryem/Hurrem Sultana stand out among these women who portray sultanas.
Hurrem was the strongest haseki sultana. Kosem was the strongest valide sultana. In series we lived hurrems life fully and enjoyed every part of it.. sadly they didn't show us much on kosems, a lot of important parts were cut... That's why hurrem in series was the most favourite.
@@DimSK. I was talking about the actress who portrays who. For me, Meryem/Hurrem has the swag among all these girls.. she portrays Sultana Hurrem very well, that no one can leave with it after she left the series. though the old hurrem was good. But overall Meryem/Sultana Hurrem was my Favorite among these women, I watched Kosem as well, the story was great but I'm looking for something from the characters the same feeling I had while watching the Magnificent Century. But sad to say kosem was worth watching but I don't have any eagerness to stay awake in the middle of the night just to finish the episodes.😝 I love all the characters from the magnificent. I laughed so hard every time hurrem smirk, when she craves for quail because she’s pregnant, I was smiling every time all the plotting of valide and mahidevran bounce back to them. And I cried so much when Suleiman ignored sultan hurrem because he was with another girl.. I love all the characters from the Kalfas and agahs to all sultanas, sezahdes, sultan Suleiman to hurrem, they were all fit to their characters. They gave me the feeling to hate and love them while watching the magnificent. 🤣 it’s bad that I had watched Magnificent Century first I should watch Kosem first so won’t have this comparison while watching kosem.😏
@@elainepachejo2729 yea meryem was great. Too bad that we saw a lot of times Suleiman and hurrem argue and separate .. that was not the case at all in real life...
@@elainepachejo2729 yes you are right. But first I watched kosem ep 1-30 and there safia sultan always mention that she want to be like hurrem I thought safia sultan is a powerful sultan but she admire hurrem she want to be like hurrem therefore I'm curious how powerful hurrem would be this lead me to watch magnificent century hurrem I'm so excited it's 10 times worth to watch than kosem. Because the story of hurrem is amazingly beautiful while kosem story seems like they don't prepared well for the next episode. I noticed that every episode makes different story. Their rival is interesting but so annoying that they make that drama directly without plan. Not so worth to watch. Therefore I stop at ep30. But hurrem drama just wow I'm speechless director plan it perfectly from AtoZ. I'm still watching I reach ep 93 I'll continue watching till end😍😍
The best of Sultanas were the ones who were obedient and trained under the strongest of Sultanas. Like how Nurbanu was trained under Hurrem Sultan and Turhan was trained under Kosem Sultan. I mean some of the very best in history.💯💯💯❤❤❤
@@muhibrahmansharqizada6930 shes the one who started the “Sultanate of Women” in Ottoman history. Shes also powerful by eliminating her rivals so that the future Sultan will be one of her son. Future Sultan start to give their favourite concubine/ wife the “Haseki” title because of Hurrem. Even Valide Sultan does not have the title Haseki before. That shows how strong and powerful she is despite the fact that women arent allowed to rule the Empire.
Hürrem could rightfully be called the "Mother of Sultanate of Women", or that all of her descendants' wives and mothers were her disciples, and Kösem was her most powerful disciple
@@balaforever3073 no, kosem is. Hurrem is most influential but kosem most powerful, she ruled the empire alone. Hurrem ruled only harem, kosem ruled the empire.
@@hirarani3201 In her younger years she is easily hurt by Mahidevran , Valide en of course Suleyman. She hardly can defend herself because the others have more power. You can see howmuch heartache she has, well done by the actress....

@@marissakass3606Most likely you do not know anything about history. Hurum was hated by the Ottoman people. They even accused her of being a witch as well. She was strong only because of Suleiman, while Kösem was strong with and without marriage. She was the mother of two sultans, loved and respected by the Ottoman people, the complete opposite of Hurum. Correct your information.
Hurrem sultan was the only strong women who didn't kill her children for power she ruled the world she love sultan more then anyone I admire her more then any other sultana of ottoman empire
Comments about "WHERE IS MIHRIMAH" will be deleted. Mihrimah was a daughter of sultan, not a concubine and slave. She had power from her birth to her death. She hasn't gained power. So stop writing it. It's so annoying and not everyone wants to read it. Officialy only Hurrem, Nurbanu, Safiye, Kosem and Turhan are "Sultanate of Women".
@@DimSK. never, you dreaming😂Hürrem is the most strong one because she broke so many rules of the Ottoman Empire (ex:she became the ilegal wife of the Sultan) and the fact they all wore her ring, shows that she is the most powerful one (all the power started from her +she is the most famous one)
@@afnanbarbie2381 that tells nothing, kosem is the most powerful sultana. The ring never existed in real life. kosem herself sat on divan, on the imperial throne and ruled the empire, three times great valide sultan, the strongest sultana ever existed in ottoman history. Kosem broke the most important rules, not hurrem. If you want to make it more clear then it goes that way: hurrem was equal to valide sultan power as haseki Kosem was equal to a majesty power and even above him.
Hurrem, Safiye and kösem were the most influential Sultana and beauty wise Ayse Sultan (kösem's son Sultan Murad's consort) seemed the most beautiful one for me. Many doesn't know Ayse Sultan cuz she was portrait in season two for a short period because she quit the show. They kind of wanted to put her as the Villain but almost everyone felt sorry for her and hated the main character Farya. If you search for Ayse Sultan you will definitely get stunned by her beauty.

Originally a new position was created when Roxelana married Suleiman in 1533. But until 1595, this position did not have much power. They used to advise the Sultan but they did not have much power. But they had trusted men at court to ensure that their children could sit on the throne after the Sultan's death. But everything changed after Mehmed ascended the throne in 1595. Mehmed was not very good at managing the empire. So his mother controlled everything. From 1585 onwards, Safia had acquired considerable power in the harem. After Safia this power goes to kosem. No worthy ruler sat on the throne after Ahmed. Although Murad ascended the throne in 1623, he was very young, so all power rested with Kosem. But when Murad became an adult, he usurped all power from his mother Kosem in 1632, returning the empire to its pre-1585 state. But after Murad's death in 1640, Ibrahim who was mentally retarded sat on the throne. As a result Kosem came back to power. However, in 1651 Mehmed's mother Turhan killed Kosem and took that power herself. Mehmed was young so the power went to his mother Turhan. But as Turhan was not as skilled as Kosem in managing the empire, he retired from the post in 1656 and abolished the post, and as Mehmed was young, all powers were transferred to the vizier Mehmed. And through this, the sultanate of woman ended
Hurrem for sure, because she lived as an Empress, A Queen, rest all were fortunate to be valide Sultan only, To be a Regent is big thing, but to have a glorious death and being in Suleiman's arm for the last breath, just like their first meeting is above all.......
Hurrem sultan the preetiest, smartest , strongest and the most powerfull sultana. She was the most loved as her husband broke so many traditions for her only.
Kosem is powerful bcz whole empire loves her and also she is great great great women sultana bcz she handled this empire for above 20 years also she will remains still great sultana in our life
Actually Hurrem is not bcz she have suleiman in her back and mahi was also much respected and powerful so for me Kosem Turhan Safiye Halime Nurbanu Mahidevran Hurrem Handan Mihrimah ( I don't know why she is included she already have power in her plate.

When Turhan said “ if you want to be the strongest, you have to take down the strongest one” & she did it only bcz she was raised by the Strongest one KOSEM 👑 ❤
In real history not, turhan is raised by atike...
Hurrem started it, Kösem made it. That was the difference. Hurrem went through hardship with Suleyman on her side, while Kösem had to go through hardship alone. Kösem made herself powerful and never bowed to anyone, that’s why she is my favourite.
Los hombres reinan, las mujeres gobernamos (Nurbanu Sultan). Los hombres se sientan en el trono pero somos las mujeres quienes los llevan hasta el (Safiye Sultan).
Kosem and Hurem are the most beautiful.
Yes that trow very much😇💯
Safiya and nurabanu are infact more beautiful than hurrem and more powerful
@@azkamasood3136 go read she was way more powerful than hurrem, hurrem was a haski not a valide sultun and didnt have that big influence such as nurabanu safiya and halime sultun
@@azkamasood3136 yeah i know and valid sultun is way more powerful than haski
@@azkamasood3136 yeah i understand your point but i dont agree with it still i respect it
what i couldnt understand was that after Hurrem died, it was a fight for her ring. That the ring was believed to be a symbol of power when it really was a symbol of love. Hurrem's ring had nothing to do with the power she achieved.
Exactly
She wanted that ring to be buried with her
But NurBanu stole it and kept it as an token of her Power
@@AbeeraShafqat-ag- I always hated that part. Never understood it either. I mean what was the point in stealing her ring? I mean come on NurBanu as along as Selim became Sultan, you would have power. Which happened. She had no reason for the ring
@@emilish624 perhaps she misunderstood the symbolism behind the ring
Or she did that on purpose
By stealing the ring that was precious to hurrem
@@AbeeraShafqat-ag- maybe. personally, I always thought she was a bit of a bitch. Felt like she took it, just to try and prove she was better than Hurrem.
In real life there was no such ring
Kösem Sultan was so powerful... She went through so much in her life, but never bowed her head🔥
Sultanate of Women end but Rabia Sultan was quite impressive and she also was wife of sultan and gain the crown too.
But not the most, nurbanu was
@@zaidqamar9884 how did Hürrem fight more than her? If Hürrem fought with Mahidevran, so Kösem had the same with Mahfiruz, according to history. If it's about Ibrahim, Kösem fought with Kemankesh, they were never friends if you read more about it. And Hürrem hasn't even become Valide Sultan. Hürrem was also blamed for ruining traditions, starting destruction of the empire and putting weak Selim on the throne instead of Mustafa who was loved by common people. She was also quite "disrespectful" to all these rules, even though diplomatic.
I think both Hürrem and Kösem are great women and achieved a lot.
But I wrote only about Kösem here. I don't think Kösem achieved less than Hürrem in any case.
@@zaidqamar9884 if we don't bow, it can also mean we are not to follow something that brings harm to us. It's respect to ourselves.
If answering the comment about Nurbanu, I disagree, she wasn't the strongest at all...
I’m so proud of these women they left everything behind whatever they loved just to grow the empire and to keep the sultans happy I’m proud to be a women
Love to all these beautiful and amazing wife’s ,mother’s ,sisters and daughter who leave everything behind. Women are strong too
To all the guys who think that men can only be strong your in this world cus of a women who goes thru all this pain to bring you into this world
But they also indirectly caused the downfall of the Empire. Defeat at Vienna was an immediate result.
These women were captured from their homelands and enslaved to these men who happily killed their own brothers and sons for the throne. I wouldn't call this "leaving everything behind," I don't think they had much of a choice but to play the cards they had been dealt in life, captured for the whims and amusement of men.
@@theorion1405 They didnt, the men did, suleiman choose his drunkard son selim to sit on the throne, there were no incompetent kings after that, Mustafa and Ibrahim were both mentally unstable becuz of fear of their brothers and ahmed changed the fratricide law even knowing how power hungry these men were and they will still plot and scheme to kill their brothers causing the throne to be unstable. These women were enslaved against their will and still u all have no shame in shifting the blame and not holding those power hungry sultans accountable. Theres no historical proof of hurrem killing mustafa or kosem killing her sons. The show is pure fiction created by men to disrespect the worlds strongest queens becuz they couldn't stand them. Sultanas were powerful and earned that power with their own hands, the sultans were cruel who killed their own sons and brothers and blamed everyone else but themselves. Suleiman killed Mustafa out of jealousy, murad died of liver cirrhosis and caged and then killed his brothers sparing only Ibrahim resulting to him being mentally unstable later being killed by janissaries becuz of his tyranny. The sultans were born royalty who created the law of killing brothers for power and wealth, the sultanas were slaves who were forcibly kidnapped as young as 11 years old, who earned their power through brain, beauty, knowledge and cunningness and they did everything to ensure the safety of their children. The male show makers knew and envied that and they created this show to shift the blame on these powerful sultanas. Read real history, don't let this fiction fool u.

“The Empire You’re Talking About Is Mine “ Kosem 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 the most powerful of them all
Hurrem sulatana & Kosem Sultan are my favorites 😍😍😍
What i felt is Kosem was the most powerful one... she was the regent for long time... Hurrem always had Sulthan Sulaiman to back support her, and she died before becoming valide sulthanam... But on the other hand kosem she became more strong after Sulthan Ahmed's death. Safiya Sulthanam was also one among the powerful i guess... Dont know much about Nurbanu and Turhan...
Kosem & Hurrem is the most beautiful & powerful sultana💯💞
Yes. You're right. Kosem was the most powerful however Hurrem started the sultanate of women era.
hurrem started the era thats why shes importen remember the first step is always the hardest nurbanu was the first slave to become a valida sultan and put the idea of the thrown in her Husband head and turhan Prevented her son being overthrown and getting killed and she managed to kill kosem And she had her son back till she die that's why Her son is the second most long region Sultan and Technically kosem was the most powerful of them all but hurrem and kosem Remains as one of most important woman in the Empire
True but Hurrem started the Sultanate of Women. She showed that it was possible for a slave to become the true Empress of the Ottoman Empire. Everyone else followed her footsteps.
Hurrem started the era. Kosem just added something extras to it :)
Hurrem-the first one to break so many traditional rules
Nurbanu-her son the sultan listened to literally everything she said
Safiye-her husband had 20 and more sons with ither woman because fo his mother's orders but he always stayed true to her and onky her
Kosem-was a regent to 2 suktans i believe
Turhan-she was the only one not being loved by her husband and still made it
They were all so powerful omg
Mihrimah- valide sultan to her brother. The first and last sister of a sultan to hold the title, the most powerful imperial princess. She kept nurbanu limited in harem even when nurbanu got the valide sultan title, mihrimah continued as valide aunt.
@@DimSK. LOOOL no she should not, also that was not that long she got banished after by nurbanu, she did not go through half of what these powerful women went through. she does not even know what it means to take power for yourself. you will not find mihrimah apart of the sultanate of woman ever in history books. LOOL you don't even know history LMAO you guys watch one show and then decide to know everything that show is pathetic, does not even have 5 percent of actual history
@@DimSK.u keep spreading lies of our history ur sooo obsessed with us Turkish people and wish to destroy our history
@@tajkiachoudhury6932 no you do
@@DimSK. No .. she didn't... nurbano became valide sultan after selim death and she was also powerful in selim reign, selim married her after Suleiman death , gave her more Haq meher than his father gave to hurrem , her daily aspers were more than anyone else , she hid selim body after his death and sent his son message to come . And after Murad ascension she became the only valide sultan and mihrimah left
My favorite sultana is Hurrem and Kosem their beauty is universal.
I did not leave my house and watched Koseme all 60 parts after another. Awesome!!! Loved it. 😍

Mihrimah shouldnt be part of the honerable mentions. She was part of the Sultanate of Women. In fact, she was the most powerful Imperial Princesses. After Selim II ascended the throne, he gave her the title of Valide Sultan.
Mihrimah is part of the sultanate of women aswell.. nurbanu didn't enjoy full power until mihrimahs death.
@@birb5571 true
Also, nurbanu eldest daughter should be in sultanate woman. She was active in political marriage during selim reign and help her mother nurbanu to fight mihrimah and safiye

Hurrem was powerful because of suleyman's love towards her. But Kosem was powerful with or without Sultan !
Sultanate of Women end but Rabia Sultan was quite impressive and her husband name ahmed 2 and she also was wife of sultan and gain the crown too.
Hurrem is the Legend even after 600 years, considered as the most powerful Sultana in the Ottoman Empire . She broke the glass ceiling for royal women and started Era of Sultanate of Women. Her story is an inspiring look at how one woman can bring so much influence and change to a leader and an empire, even if husband stands behind you!
Hurrem’s power in the Sultan’s court grew stronger with every passing year. As Navagero wrote in 1553, “there has not been in the Ottoman house a lady that has had more authority.” Her authority showed not only in her firm grip over Suleiman’s heart but also in her ability to compete with the male rivals in Suleiman’s court, and to be a skillful sovereign and ruler.

Also, it’s recorded by history that she was official Divan member, attending meetings, voting, listening to males and taking part of the meetings “under the dome”, which is called the Kubbealtı. Only men were doing this before her.
Hurrem also had a seal, that allowed her to correspond to MALE rulers and kings around the world. Before that females of the empire were only allowed to correspond with female rulers (like empress or queen : Russia and England) or princesses. Hurrem acted as a diplomat with foreign powers through her letters using the title of Shah (queen), from the day she became first and only wife of Padisah in Ottoman history. It is seen that his signature is always referred to as " The State of İsmetlu Hürrem Shah Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân".
Hurrem also ruled the empire when Sultan was away on wars, signing important documents on his behalf and receiving diplomats and foreign ambassadors. Hurrem was a keen advisor to Suleiman in political matters, particularly when he was absent from Istanbul on his numerous military campaigns. She regularly sent letters to the Sultan, in which, in addition to expressing her great love and longing for him, she also informed him of the situation in the capital and of any events that required his immediate attention or action. In being thus vigilant, Hurrem protected Suleiman’s interests and contributed to the success of his reign. There is no doubt that Suleiman trusted her more than he did his male advisors.
Hurrem is known to have been very generous to the poor.
Not only did Hurrem Sultan exercise unprecedented influence on state politics as Suleiman’s chief advisor and diplomat with foreign powers, but she was also fully devoted to philanthropy. Hurrem’s charitable work surpassed any of Ottoman women in volume and geographic reach. She gave inordinate sums of money to help the poor and needy, she built and sponsored endowments (waqfs) in cities like Istanbul, Constantinople, Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Baghdad, Konya, Edirne, Bulgaria.
Her major charitable projects include:
✔️Haseki Sultan Complex in Istanbul-(Haseki Hürrem Sultan Külliyesi) that consists of a Friday mosque, a soup-kitchen (imaret), a madrasa, an elementary school (mektep) and a hospital(Haseki Dar al-Shifa). The latter is still used as a polyclinic by Haseki State Hospital.
✔️ Two Quranic schools
✔️ Women hospital near the women's slave market (Avret Pazary).
✔️Hurrem Sultan Fountain in Istanbul, Sultanahmet area, a landmark in Istanbul and favorite spot for tourists for taking vacation photos with beautiful background.
✔️ Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse (Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı)- receives guests and tourists daily and is now operated by Haseki Tourism Group.
✔️ Khaseki Sultan Complex in Jerusalem, that included a mosque, large khan (inn)-caravanserai for travelers and merchants, a 55-room-shelter for pilgrims, a bakery for the conduct of charity services for the poor, flour mills, water mills, soap factories, an area with cellars, public toilets, stables and a soup kitchen “Haseki Sultan Imaret” serving more than 500 Jerusalem's paupers, al-Aqsa's needy worshipers and seminarists. Most of the buildings, apart from the lodge and the mosque, are still standing today. The charitable soup kitchen called “Takiyah Khaski Sultan Al-Imara” works to present day, with two meals still being served to the poor and homeless according to Hürrem's original recipe!
✔️ A caravanserai, mosque and soup kitchen built in the city of Svilengrad , Bulgaria, the name of which was Cisr-i M Ustafa Pasha at that time.
✔️Charitable soup kitchens “Haseki Imarets” in Edirne, Mecca, Medina, Konya, Baghdad.
✔️At one point Hurrem even sold her own gold, pearls and jewels to pay for Janissaries’ (Ottoman soldier’s) boots and a hike in their pay.
Apart from these Hurrem is also known to frequently send her embroideries and handmade perfumes to slaves, poor women and Harrem concubines.
Hurrem was the first in many things. Even where she was buried was a first. Suleiman buried her in his mosque complex. Not her own as it used to be according the Ottoman’s law. In HIS.
Even after 600 years, Hurrem is loved and resppected in the world by milllions for her thousands charities, strength, smartness, boldness!

On the contrary, she had control over some of the Janissary army divisions and scholars, and it was able to put Murad on the throne during the reign of Mustafa. It was also able to protect Murad’s throne during the period when he was young.
Hurrem would have been the best sultanas mother, there is no doubt about that...
I wish soon, Tim's production will recreate a series focusing on the Sultanate of women, could start during the near end reign of Valide Ayseh Hafşa Sultan as their precursor down to Hurrem, Nurbanu, Safiye, (also with Handan and Halime) to Kosem and then Turhan
I would prefer the era of nurbanu-mihrimah as valide sultan-safiye then mihrimahs death and safiye against nurbanu. Turhans life wouldn't hurt aswell, it's possible she was poisoned sooo it would be interesting with so many Princes alive and sultanas exiled to old palace.
I hope they could do it will more accurate costumes design if they're gonna make another one.
@@tsukasa1608 Why? Arent the costumes in the series accurate, or did they wear other clothes?
@@birb5571 Far from accurate to be honest, Ottoman women in 16th Century should be wearing loose fitting kaftan and pants, rather than European style dress, the European dress only became popular among the harem ladies during 19th Century after Empress Eugénie of France visited the harem.
You can look up for Lady Sadberk Museum to get a glimpse of Ottoman women fashion throughout time, also there's a 2010 Turkish movie called Mahpeyker Kösem Sultan, which also featuring some pretty accurate costumes.
@@tsukasa1608 Oh never knew that
For me, Only Hurrem Sultana has the swag, she can be nice, kind, fair and at the same time witch defends how you treat her., Kosem might be the strongest in history., but on fictional series, Meryem/Hurrem Sultana stand out among these women who portray sultanas.
Hurrem was the strongest haseki sultana. Kosem was the strongest valide sultana.
In series we lived hurrems life fully and enjoyed every part of it.. sadly they didn't show us much on kosems, a lot of important parts were cut... That's why hurrem in series was the most favourite.
@@DimSK. I was talking about the actress who portrays who. For me, Meryem/Hurrem has the swag among all these girls.. she portrays Sultana Hurrem very well, that no one can leave with it after she left the series. though the old hurrem was good. But overall Meryem/Sultana Hurrem was my Favorite among these women, I watched Kosem as well, the story was great but I'm looking for something from the characters the same feeling I had while watching the Magnificent Century. But sad to say kosem was worth watching but I don't have any eagerness to stay awake in the middle of the night just to finish the episodes.😝 I love all the characters from the magnificent. I laughed so hard every time hurrem smirk, when she craves for quail because she’s pregnant, I was smiling every time all the plotting of valide and mahidevran bounce back to them. And I cried so much when Suleiman ignored sultan hurrem because he was with another girl.. I love all the characters from the Kalfas and agahs to all sultanas, sezahdes, sultan Suleiman to hurrem, they were all fit to their characters. They gave me the feeling to hate and love them while watching the magnificent. 🤣 it’s bad that I had watched Magnificent Century first I should watch Kosem first so won’t have this comparison while watching kosem.😏
@@elainepachejo2729 yea meryem was great. Too bad that we saw a lot of times Suleiman and hurrem argue and separate .. that was not the case at all in real life...
@@elainepachejo2729 yes you are right. But first I watched kosem ep 1-30 and there safia sultan always mention that she want to be like hurrem I thought safia sultan is a powerful sultan but she admire hurrem she want to be like hurrem therefore I'm curious how powerful hurrem would be this lead me to watch magnificent century hurrem I'm so excited it's 10 times worth to watch than kosem. Because the story of hurrem is amazingly beautiful while kosem story seems like they don't prepared well for the next episode. I noticed that every episode makes different story. Their rival is interesting but so annoying that they make that drama directly without plan. Not so worth to watch. Therefore I stop at ep30. But hurrem drama just wow I'm speechless director plan it perfectly from AtoZ. I'm still watching I reach ep 93 I'll continue watching till end😍😍
Kosem is more strong than hurrem
I love this edit!!
Its so powerful, motivational and, above all, inspiring!
I keep coming back to it :)
thank you
Kosem is a different level of definition of power ❤️❤️❤️
Young kosem old kosem is ugly
The best of Sultanas were the ones who were obedient and trained under the strongest of Sultanas. Like how Nurbanu was trained under Hurrem Sultan and Turhan was trained under Kosem Sultan. I mean some of the very best in history.💯💯💯❤❤❤

It all started with hurrem ✨
It's no matter it start's with whom
the important thing is being more powerful
@@muhibrahmansharqizada6930 shut up
@@muhibrahmansharqizada6930 shes the one who started the “Sultanate of Women” in Ottoman history. Shes also powerful by eliminating her rivals so that the future Sultan will be one of her son. Future Sultan start to give their favourite concubine/ wife the “Haseki” title because of Hurrem. Even Valide Sultan does not have the title Haseki before. That shows how strong and powerful she is despite the fact that women arent allowed to rule the Empire.
Hurrem's blood line made the ottoman empire got extended
@@muhibrahmansharqizada6930 if hurrem didn't existed these other queens would also never existed. One and only Haseki Hürrem Sultan
Hürrem could rightfully be called the "Mother of Sultanate of Women", or that all of her descendants' wives and mothers were her disciples, and Kösem was her most powerful disciple
I love nurbanu voice while saying nurbanu❤️❤️
According to me,hurrem is the bravest ,the most intelligent, the most powerful women in ottoman empire.
After that KOSEM
Kosem is the most powerful by far, hurrem is nowhere close.
@@DimSK. wrong Hurrem was the wife of sultan Suleiman magnificent everyone bowed done to her in the harem
@@balaforever3073 no, kosem is. Hurrem is most influential but kosem most powerful, she ruled the empire alone. Hurrem ruled only harem, kosem ruled the empire.
@@DimSK. yeah and she was killed and overthrown
@@DimSK. Hurrem ruled the empire as well
Hurrem Sultan's whisper alone is powerful..My favorite Sultanas',Hurrem and Mihrimah.

Kosem my Idol 🧡the most powerful of them all
Kosem- the empire you’re talking about is mine!!
Meanwhile the emperor 🛐
She was never emperor hahahaha
We are missed you so much kosem
Kosems and hurrems time period was so strong they were great sultanas of ottoman empire
Absolutely amazing, I loved every second. I didn’t want it to end!💖😍
Thank you darling 💗💗💗
Kosem Sultan the most Powerful and Strongest one 💙
Kosem my all time favorite
I love hurrem sultan😍😍😍
So do I !! She is so much fun and so vulnerable!!!❤❤
@@batsheba1 Why vulnerable.
@@hirarani3201 In her younger years she is easily hurt by Mahidevran , Valide en of course Suleyman. She hardly can defend herself because the others have more power. You can see howmuch heartache she has, well done by the actress....
@@batsheba1 yes!
No one can beat hurrem and kosem sultana their standards are so high ❤
Actually Sultana was kosem he stood for the sultanate and worked a lot for her people and actually handled her nation with intelligence and analytics.
That was Hurrem, never Kosem
Kosem and Nourhan so powerful 🔥🔥👸👸
Hurrem is the Legend even after 600 years, considered as the most powerful Sultana in the Ottoman Empire . She broke the glass ceiling for royal women and started Era of Sultanate of Women. Her story is an inspiring look at how one woman can bring so much influence and change to a leader and an empire, even if husband stands behind you!
Hurrem’s power in the Sultan’s court grew stronger with every passing year. As Navagero wrote in 1553, “there has not been in the Ottoman house a lady that has had more authority.” Her authority showed not only in her firm grip over Suleiman’s heart but also in her ability to compete with the male rivals in Suleiman’s court, and to be a skillful sovereign and ruler. Suleiman the Magnificent repeatedly came to her for counsel and even appointed her as his STATE ADVISOR in foreign affairs, which allowed her to act as a diplomat with foreign powers.
Also, it’s recorded by history that she was official Divan member, attending meetings, voting, listening to males and taking part of the meetings “under the dome”, which is called the Kubbealtı. Only men were doing this before her.
Hurrem also had a seal, that allowed her to correspond to MALE rulers and kings around the world. Before that females of the empire were only allowed to correspond with female rulers (like empress or queen : Russia and England) or princesses. Hurrem acted as a diplomat with foreign powers through her letters using the title of Shah (queen), from the day she became first and only wife of Padisah in Ottoman history. It is seen that his signature is always referred to as " The State of İsmetlu Hürrem Shah Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân".
Hurrem also ruled the empire when Sultan was away on wars, signing important documents on his behalf and receiving diplomats and foreign ambassadors. Hurrem was a keen advisor to Suleiman in political matters, particularly when he was absent from Istanbul on his numerous military campaigns. She regularly sent letters to the Sultan, in which, in addition to expressing her great love and longing for him, she also informed him of the situation in the capital and of any events that required his immediate attention or action. In being thus vigilant, Hurrem protected Suleiman’s interests and contributed to the success of his reign. There is no doubt that Suleiman trusted her more than he did his male advisors.
Hurrem is known to have been very generous to the poor.
Not only did Hurrem Sultan exercise unprecedented influence on state politics as Suleiman’s chief advisor and diplomat with foreign powers, but she was also fully devoted to philanthropy. Hurrem’s charitable work surpassed any of Ottoman women in volume and geographic reach. She gave inordinate sums of money to help the poor and needy, she built and sponsored endowments (waqfs) in cities like Istanbul, Constantinople, Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Baghdad, Konya, Edirne, Bulgaria.
Her major charitable projects include:
✔️Haseki Sultan Complex in Istanbul-(Haseki Hürrem Sultan Külliyesi) that consists of a Friday mosque, a soup-kitchen (imaret), a madrasa, an elementary school (mektep) and a hospital(Haseki Dar al-Shifa). The latter is still used as a polyclinic by Haseki State Hospital.
✔️ Two Quranic schools
✔️ Women hospital near the women's slave market (Avret Pazary).
✔️Hurrem Sultan Fountain in Istanbul, Sultanahmet area, a landmark in Istanbul and favorite spot for tourists for taking vacation photos with beautiful background.
✔️ Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse (Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı)- receives guests and tourists daily and is now operated by Haseki Tourism Group.
✔️ Khaseki Sultan Complex in Jerusalem, that included a mosque, large khan (inn)-caravanserai for travelers and merchants, a 55-room-shelter for pilgrims, a bakery for the conduct of charity services for the poor, flour mills, water mills, soap factories, an area with cellars, public toilets, stables and a soup kitchen “Haseki Sultan Imaret” serving more than 500 Jerusalem's paupers, al-Aqsa's needy worshipers and seminarists. Most of the buildings, apart from the lodge and the mosque, are still standing today. The charitable soup kitchen called “Takiyah Khaski Sultan Al-Imara” works to present day, with two meals still being served to the poor and homeless according to Hürrem's original recipe!
✔️ A caravanserai, mosque and soup kitchen built in the city of Svilengrad , Bulgaria, the name of which was Cisr-i M Ustafa Pasha at that time.
✔️Charitable soup kitchens “Haseki Imarets” in Edirne, Mecca, Medina, Konya, Baghdad.
✔️At one point Hurrem even sold her own gold, pearls and jewels to pay for Janissaries’ (Ottoman soldier’s) boots and a hike in their pay.
Apart from these Hurrem is also known to frequently send her embroideries and handmade perfumes to slaves, poor women and Harrem concubines.
Hurrem was the first in many things. Even where she was buried was a first. Suleiman buried her in his mosque complex. Not her own as it used to be according the Ottoman’s law. In HIS.
Even after 600 years, Hurrem is loved and resppected in the world by milllions for her thousands charities, strength, smartness, boldness!
POWER! 👑👑👑🔝🔝🔝
@@marissakass3606Most likely you do not know anything about history. Hurum was hated by the Ottoman people. They even accused her of being a witch as well. She was strong only because of Suleiman, while Kösem was strong with and without marriage. She was the mother of two sultans, loved and respected by the Ottoman people, the complete opposite of Hurum. Correct your information.
Stunning👑👑
Thank you love 💖💖💖

Hurrem sultan was the only strong women who didn't kill her children for power she ruled the world she love sultan more then anyone I admire her more then any other sultana of ottoman empire
Sadly hurrem never became valide sultan to rule the world as she so much wanted.
The most Powerful Sultana was KOSEM SULTAN
@@multipurpose6984 of course she was!
Hurrem never ruled the world she only ruled the palace. The ottoman history say the most power ful queen was kosem sultan followed by safiye sultan
@@manianwer8626 she wanted to rule the world according to series, obviously she never did lol. Yes kosem was the most powerful.
Kosem is superb mashaAllah
Kosem is the most beautiful ☺️☺️
Hurrem Sultan was God for the others... She created the rest of them
Yep, she started the sultanate of women and mihrimah continued it strongly. Then nurbanu etc...
@@DimSK. No, have you not watched the series or know anything about history? Valide Ayse Hafsa Sultan was the first.
@@tauseefkhan7939 first valide, not the strongest and she didn't start the sultanate, hurrem sultan did
Comments about "WHERE IS MIHRIMAH" will be deleted. Mihrimah was a daughter of sultan, not a concubine and slave. She had power from her birth to her death. She hasn't gained power. So stop writing it. It's so annoying and not everyone wants to read it.
Officialy only Hurrem, Nurbanu, Safiye, Kosem and Turhan are "Sultanate of Women".
Hurrem is best
Hurrem sultan best😊
Hurram sultan and kosem Sultan so beautiful and powerful
Who kosem are 2 (kosem bereen saat ) or another kosem
@@ff-erix6729 real life kosem
Safiye was the strongest and experienced because she lived in the reigns of 7 Sultans....Suleiman to Osman!
Safiye is second, kosem is the most powerful.
Hürrem is the most strong one.
@@afnanbarbie2381 hurrem is after Turhan. Kosem is first
@@DimSK. never, you dreaming😂Hürrem is the most strong one because she broke so many rules of the Ottoman Empire (ex:she became the ilegal wife of the Sultan) and the fact they all wore her ring, shows that she is the most powerful one (all the power started from her +she is the most famous one)
@@afnanbarbie2381 that tells nothing, kosem is the most powerful sultana. The ring never existed in real life. kosem herself sat on divan, on the imperial throne and ruled the empire, three times great valide sultan, the strongest sultana ever existed in ottoman history. Kosem broke the most important rules, not hurrem.
If you want to make it more clear then it goes that way: hurrem was equal to valide sultan power as haseki
Kosem was equal to a majesty power and even above him.
Sultana's Sultana Safiye Sultan❤❤
Valide-i-Muazzama,Naib-e-Sultanate Kosem Sultan❤
Haseki Hurrem Sultan❤
They are the best & most powerful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Mindblowing edit
Thank you 💕💕
Köseam sultan my love 🤩
Hurrem, Safiye and kösem were the most influential Sultana and beauty wise Ayse Sultan (kösem's son Sultan Murad's consort) seemed the most beautiful one for me. Many doesn't know Ayse Sultan cuz she was portrait in season two for a short period because she quit the show. They kind of wanted to put her as the Villain but almost everyone felt sorry for her and hated the main character Farya. If you search for Ayse Sultan you will definitely get stunned by her beauty.
I love Hurrem (Meryem)

Afife Nurbanu Valide Haseki Sultana 💙
Hurrem , Kosem , Turhan💖
Originally a new position was created when Roxelana married Suleiman in 1533. But until 1595, this position did not have much power. They used to advise the Sultan but they did not have much power. But they had trusted men at court to ensure that their children could sit on the throne after the Sultan's death. But everything changed after Mehmed ascended the throne in 1595. Mehmed was not very good at managing the empire. So his mother controlled everything. From 1585 onwards, Safia had acquired considerable power in the harem.
After Safia this power goes to kosem. No worthy ruler sat on the throne after Ahmed. Although Murad ascended the throne in 1623, he was very young, so all power rested with Kosem. But when Murad became an adult, he usurped all power from his mother Kosem in 1632, returning the empire to its pre-1585 state.
But after Murad's death in 1640, Ibrahim who was mentally retarded sat on the throne. As a result Kosem came back to power. However, in 1651 Mehmed's mother Turhan killed Kosem and took that power herself. Mehmed was young so the power went to his mother Turhan. But as Turhan was not as skilled as Kosem in managing the empire, he retired from the post in 1656 and abolished the post, and as Mehmed was young, all powers were transferred to the vizier Mehmed.
And through this, the sultanate of woman ended
Hurrem is best ❤❤❤❤❤
Hurrem is most beautiful and strong character of history ❤️
Hurrem for sure, because she lived as an Empress, A Queen, rest all were fortunate to be valide Sultan only, To be a Regent is big thing, but to have a glorious death and being in Suleiman's arm for the last breath, just like their first meeting is above all.......

@@KanchanKumari-jv2bl Hahahahaha! They forgot to ask you! Hahahahahaha! Hurrem is known as most powerful Ottoman woman in history, Suleiman’s state advisor, first woman divan member. She ruled state for 30 years with her husband! Sit down bottt, without Hurrem Kosem is nothiiing!
@@KanchanKumari-jv2bl Mahi was Hatun, she was never loved or respppected ahhahaahhaahahahah!
@@KanchanKumari-jv2bl Hurrem is the Legend even after 600 years, considered as the most powerful Sultana in the Ottoman Empire . She broke the glass ceiling for royal women and started Era of Sultanate of Women. Her story is an inspiring look at how one woman can bring so much influence and change to a leader and an empire, even if husband stands behind you!
Hurrem’s power in the Sultan’s court grew stronger with every passing year. As Navagero wrote in 1553, “there has not been in the Ottoman house a lady that has had more authority.” Her authority showed not only in her firm grip over Suleiman’s heart but also in her ability to compete with the male rivals in Suleiman’s court, and to be a skillful sovereign and ruler. Suleiman the Magnificent repeatedly came to her for counsel and even appointed her as his STATE ADVISOR in foreign affairs, which allowed her to act as a diplomat with foreign powers.
Also, it’s recorded by history that she was official Divan member, attending meetings, voting, listening to males and taking part of the meetings “under the dome”, which is called the Kubbealtı. Only men were doing this before her.
Hurrem also had a seal, that allowed her to correspond to MALE rulers and kings around the world. Before that females of the empire were only allowed to correspond with female rulers (like empress or queen : Russia and England) or princesses. Hurrem acted as a diplomat with foreign powers through her letters using the title of Shah (queen), from the day she became first and only wife of Padisah in Ottoman history. It is seen that his signature is always referred to as " The State of İsmetlu Hürrem Shah Sultan Aliyyetü'ş-Şân".
Hurrem also ruled the empire when Sultan was away on wars, signing important documents on his behalf and receiving diplomats and foreign ambassadors. Hurrem was a keen advisor to Suleiman in political matters, particularly when he was absent from Istanbul on his numerous military campaigns. She regularly sent letters to the Sultan, in which, in addition to expressing her great love and longing for him, she also informed him of the situation in the capital and of any events that required his immediate attention or action. In being thus vigilant, Hurrem protected Suleiman’s interests and contributed to the success of his reign. There is no doubt that Suleiman trusted her more than he did his male advisors.
Hurrem is known to have been very generous to the poor.
Not only did Hurrem Sultan exercise unprecedented influence on state politics as Suleiman’s chief advisor and diplomat with foreign powers, but she was also fully devoted to philanthropy. Hurrem’s charitable work surpassed any of Ottoman women in volume and geographic reach. She gave inordinate sums of money to help the poor and needy, she built and sponsored endowments (waqfs) in cities like Istanbul, Constantinople, Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, Damascus, Baghdad, Konya, Edirne, Bulgaria.
Her major charitable projects include:
✔️Haseki Sultan Complex in Istanbul-(Haseki Hürrem Sultan Külliyesi) that consists of a Friday mosque, a soup-kitchen (imaret), a madrasa, an elementary school (mektep) and a hospital(Haseki Dar al-Shifa). The latter is still used as a polyclinic by Haseki State Hospital.
✔️ Two Quranic schools
✔️ Women hospital near the women's slave market (Avret Pazary).
✔️Hurrem Sultan Fountain in Istanbul, Sultanahmet area, a landmark in Istanbul and favorite spot for tourists for taking vacation photos with beautiful background.
✔️ Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse (Ayasofya Hürrem Sultan Hamamı)- receives guests and tourists daily and is now operated by Haseki Tourism Group.
✔️ Khaseki Sultan Complex in Jerusalem, that included a mosque, large khan (inn)-caravanserai for travelers and merchants, a 55-room-shelter for pilgrims, a bakery for the conduct of charity services for the poor, flour mills, water mills, soap factories, an area with cellars, public toilets, stables and a soup kitchen “Haseki Sultan Imaret” serving more than 500 Jerusalem's paupers, al-Aqsa's needy worshipers and seminarists. Most of the buildings, apart from the lodge and the mosque, are still standing today. The charitable soup kitchen called “Takiyah Khaski Sultan Al-Imara” works to present day, with two meals still being served to the poor and homeless according to Hürrem's original recipe!
✔️ A caravanserai, mosque and soup kitchen built in the city of Svilengrad , Bulgaria, the name of which was Cisr-i M Ustafa Pasha at that time.
✔️Charitable soup kitchens “Haseki Imarets” in Edirne, Mecca, Medina, Konya, Baghdad.
✔️At one point Hurrem even sold her own gold, pearls and jewels to pay for Janissaries’ (Ottoman soldier’s) boots and a hike in their pay.
Apart from these Hurrem is also known to frequently send her embroideries and handmade perfumes to slaves, poor women and Harrem concubines.
Hurrem was the first in many things. Even where she was buried was a first. Suleiman buried her in his mosque complex. Not her own as it used to be according the Ottoman’s law. In HIS.
Even after 600 years, Hurrem is loved and resppected in the world by milllions for her thousands charities, strength, smartness, boldness!
