    Ironic part is that literally the worst of his sons became the Sultan. Mustafa was the obvious choice, Mehmed was the best choice.

    There are a few inconsistencies here. The main ones being:
    1) Hürrem’s birth name was Alexandra or Anastasia. She was known as Roxelana due to her red hair.
    2) Shezade Abdullah was the third son of Suleiman and Hürrem, not the second. (Both Mehmed and Selim were born before him).
    3) There is no evidence that Sultana Hürrem and Rüstem Pasha were involved in Mustafa’s death - it was a rumour spread by her enemies, which many have latched onto. But the allegations have never been proved.
    4) Selim did get a military assignment, like the rest of Suleiman’s sons, as this was the norm for all adult sons of the sultan. In fact, he succeeded his brother Mehmed as Governor of Manisa following Mehmed’s death in 1543. Later, he was assigned to go to the province of Konya.
    5) Also, what about Suleiman’s other two sons from when he was a Prince (Shezade Mahmud and Shezade Murad), who both died in 1520? If you’re going to include Shezade Abdullah who died in infancy, then shouldn’t they be included too?
    There are admittedly a lot of things we don’t know about how things were in history (as records weren’t always kept accurately). But if you’re going to make a video based on historical facts, then surely fact-checking is a must?

    • @travelmuse1994
      @travelmuse1994 11 місяців тому +25

      It is well known that Shezade Abdullah was the third son of Sultan Suleiman and Hurrem. He died in infancy. Two of Suleiman’s other sons (who he had had before he met Hurrem) also died in infancy, along with a daughter. It is unclear who their respective mothers were although it is widely assumed that at least one of them was the son of Gülfem.
      We know all this because of letters found and other historical evidence. Might be good to read those instead of trying to rely on a fictionalised TV show…

      He actually ruled his household imo
      However polygamist relationships not so easy to manage. Again those days many kings not just Ottoman Empire killed their siblings and children because they are always a threat to their ruling which is sad but not uncommon.
      Even if they don’t wish to become a threat they are lured by king makers causing disruptions. Hence the princesses live longer - don’t take my word for it do your own research 🧐

      about " marrying concubines and foreigners " ... well, he was the biggest boss in his empire, who are you to judge him for whom his heart wanted to marry? :) Those "concubines" and "slaves" were people kidnapped from their countries and forced into slavery and sex services, so why anyone should blame them for being slaves? I think those "slaves" were as "noble" as any other person, because it's only the inner nobleness, the beauty of one's soul, that is really noble ; exterior "nobility" ranks from all over the world were created by power grabbing and wealth grabbing individuals.

      In fact, the historians said that Mehmed seemed to be the best heir. He had the most qualities to be a sultan, qualities that Mustafa didn't have.
      Mustafa was a good governor of Manisa but Mehmed was even better, he surpassed Mustafa.
      They said Mehmed had this qualities among others "temperance, leadership, humility and justice" and he always obey the sultan.
      It is seemed that Mustafa faults temperance and humility and not always obeyed the sultan, was rebel and influenciable.
      Suleyman was upset with him because he had surrounded himself by powerful people that influenced him in Manisa, that's why he decided to send him to Amassia.
      It is also said that the good job that Mehmed did as a governor of Manisa and as he surpassed Mustafa worried Mahidevran's circle and there is a supposition that she was involved in his death, but not proofs, then officially cause of death is smallpox.
      There were rumours that they had a party in Amassia when Mehmed died, but only rumours...

      Bayazid was warrior, brave but extremely impulsive, rebel and disobeying the sultan.
      He attacked first his brother Selim with the intention of killing him and his son Murad. That's why Suleyman sent his army to help Selim and they defeated Bayazid that took the decision to cross the border to the Safavide Empire, the biggest enemy of Otoman Empire at that time.
      This was considered as betrayal and that's why his execution

    • @enjoythelife7912

      Mustafa was brave, warrior, good governor, but rebel and disobeying the sultan (not as much as Bayazid) and also influenceable by powerful people and also was influenced by his mother rivality with Hürrem. He kept a rivality with Hürrem due to his mother rivality.
      He had a good relationship with his brother Mehmed till his father named Mehmed governor of Manisa. Starting with that point it is seemed he saw him as his rival.
      The people that supported him were powerful people that wanted to remove "devșirme" from the high positions they got.
      What is a devșirme?
      Converted into Muslim (from others religions, most of them Christians) and also means "blood tax", meaning that Ottoman Empire "charged" ocuppied countries (Balcans in general) kids as a "blood tax" transforming them into slaves for the Ottoman Empire (army, eunucs, odaliscas, concubines). They were converted in muslims and serving the Ottoman Empire.
      Most of the Janisaries were "devşirme". Some of them due to their qualities got key positions, that those people (Ottoman) thought that those positions belonged only to Ottoman blood.
      Hürrem and Ibrahim were devşirme too.
      Well, Mehmed, Selim and Bayazid were Süleyman's boys with a devșirme mother, meanwhile Mustafa had a mulsim mother...

    Some information are wrong. There is no legitimize in Ottoman place because all şehzades are legitimate, so Suleyman not married because of that with Hurrem he married her other reason that he let her free so she became free from slavery situation that mean for Islamic rules they had to marry. In Ottoman it's different understanding of legitimate children far from western understanding. Also we can't specifically say that Suleyman send to his favorite son to Manisa it is far more complicated than that. There might be fear that Suleyman had to share his grandfather's destiny which his overthrone by his son Yavuz, Suleyman's father. Some historians says that Mustafa had similarities as characteristics of Yavuz. Which may be led Suleyman to not to give him the governance of Manisa etc.

      Suleiman also knew how popular and capable Mustafa was. People in the empire even preferred Mustafa over Suleiman after a point, as they'd grown bored of the old ruler and wanted young, talented Mustafa instead. Mustafa also had the loyalty of the Janissaries and was good at literally everything (campaigns, politics, well educated and talented). It's natural that Suleiman would have been jealous or atleast insecure of his position. However, the fact that he killed his son was disgusting.
