Tjutchev, and whether the portrait photography Roksolana? Very interesting to see him, was in the palace of Topkapi, but now I do not remember it, as was the Tomb Roksolana, but the portrait .. I do not remember

Tana, agree, without Roksolana and harem is not a harem, and the palace is not a palace, and the sultan sultan ...

Roksolana

Roksolana, born Alexandra Lisovskaya, nee Rohatyn current city of Ivano-Frankivsk region - a historic character, uniting Turkey and Ukraine. It is interesting to get acquainted with the Turkish interpretation of the role of this character in history. In Turkey it is better known under the name Hürem (the one that laughs), was born in 1510 in the family of Little Russian priest. The Turks have bought it on the market of slaves, brought to Istanbul and settled in the harem of Suleyman.

Immediately upon arrival Roksolana became intrigued and use all his tricks and sleight of women, she quickly made changes in his situation: a simple concubine became a darling home of the Sultan. And the birth of her first son lifted her up to the third (kadin), ie, in accordance with a strict hierarchy of the harem, she was the third powerful woman. Influence Roksolana Sulejman passed all bounds: she managed to persuade the Sultan to banish his first wife Gülbahar son Mustafa, a successor of the Ottoman throne and the favorite of all the people and troops. Roksolana birth to five children (four boys and one girl), and to put on the throne of his son Selim, she had only one thing - to exterminate Mustafa. With the help of anonymous letters, she tuned her father against son, and Mustafa was killed. When the grand vizier Ibrahim (a childhood friend of Suleiman and married his sister Hatiche) has begun to threaten its disclosure, Roksolana went to the deception, and the sultan, believing in the betrayal of Ibrahim, told the deaf guards to strangle him.
      The portraits Roxolans portrayed as a woman a pleasant appearance with classic features. For a gay white-toothed smile Suleiman called it Hürem. In 1530 Roksolana won a real victory - Suleiman formally married her, the event is incredible and totally unparalleled in the history of the sultans.
      With the advent of Roksolana many of the customs in the country changed. The first change was that Roksolana was to live in the residence outside the Topkapi Palace., But in 1541 moved to the Grand Serail. It was not just a woman, but also the main adviser of the sultan in all public affairs and issues of international relations. Just think, a simple concubine not only married him for a Sultan, and became its first minister - and this happened in the Muslim world, where anciently dominated men!
      All accused of excessive credulity Suleiman's wife. Bassano de Zaro, who lived at the time of Topkapi Palace, in his book "The Manners and especially the life of the Turks," wrote that it was clear how great passion and the full confidence of the Sultan is to the woman, thought she had bewitched him, in Anyway nickname ziadi, which means "witch" that she had been subjected, had reason to.
      Roksolana died in 1558 and was buried in a mausoleum at the Mosque of Suleiman, near the great husband.
      Her son, Selim, later referred to as Selim - drunk, entered the history of the Ottoman Empire, as one of the weakest sultans. Since his arrival, began the sunset and the weakening of the empire, and reign of Suleiman the Magnificent is perceived as the period of greatest prosperity of the empire.
