Sultana Hurrem Takes Control | Ottoman History 

@@faizakhan4884 that's an interesting thing. But why mehmed's curse ? Wasn't he younger than Osman ? So Osman was the rightful one. That's a different thing that Osman was weak as a sultan. I actually don't know what's the rule of choosing a crown prince in ottoman empire. Is he supposed to be the eldest one or the most capable one??

​​@@iiiiiiaaaandidiwinnnneoafter şehzade Mehmet ( son of Sultan Ahmet) was killed by his brother Sultan Osman a winter like none other came over Istanbul, historically people even thought that it was an "iceage" like situation. And, Osman wasn't the "rightful" crown prince and the sultan. Both Osman and Mehmet were favoured equally by Ahmet and the declaration of the crown prince hadn't yet happened. Before such a declaration by the king, no prince has superiority over others and isn't guaranteed the throne after the kings death. The king Ahmet died unexpectedly early, and Kösem Sultan didn't want to watch one of her son's killing all the others including kids from other concubines (like Osman, she loved and raised Prince Osman as her own afterall). So she forged documents with the kings seal making şehzade Mustafa (brother of Ahmet) the Sultan in the case of his unplanned death. Followed by Osman, Mehmet, Murad etc. She essentially tried abolishing the practice of killing the remaining princes ones a new king is chosen. She followed Ahmets example of showing mercy to şehzade Mustafa and his mother. Also, Kösem Sultan knew of Mustafas condition and incapability and was sure that he wouldn't have kids so the throne would be back in the hands of her kids (Osman or Mehmet as she considered both as equally hers). But things went downhill when Halime and Dilruba sultan tried killing all the remaining princes secretly. So, through a lot of politics Osman finally got the throne, but he was young and naive and as such believed the whispers of court that Kösem Sultan had made him the king but was trying to co rule with him (Like a Valide Sultan, which he should've made her officially as he literally called her Valide) but he didn't like that and also he banished her to the old palace. Later on Mehmet was framed along with Kösem Sultan by the court members who knew that this trio together would be very powerful. And much like Sultan Süleymans case Sultan Osman believed the whispers and false evidence and had his brother Mehmet executed who like Sultan Süleymans son Mustafa died telling the truth till the end and screaming there for their brother/father's understanding. Later both Osman and Süleyman regretted but that obviously wouldn't bring back the dead. Both these deaths caused a general nosedive in the greatness of the Ottoman Empire which previously was expanding but for 2 generations after both these death each the empire didn't expand instead it shrunk due to incapable rulers and internal politics causing all military action to be defensive rather than offensive.

Hurrem saved her children from death she had to destroy her enemies because they all wanted to kill her because of the love and power her and Sultan had Kosem never had the respect for the true dynasty members she disrespected them Hurrem had to defend herself and children

I’m sorry but what 😂 Kosem literally sacrificed many pashas who went against her and before that killed Silahtar and Farya for her own gain and was about to kill her grandson. And it’s foolish and naive to think you can get to the heights Hürrem and Kösem reached without deceit and lies the only difference between the two is that one sacrificed her children for the state and the other didn’t and that’s not Kösem. And this is in context of the show

You know what? This just serial TV not the real story. Dont be that serious😂

Why she tried to save her sons Mustafa would perhaps not kill them but the janissary would on his moms order. And why blame Hurrem and rustem they wouldent hold a gun to his head

She tried to save her sons lives

@@katarinasvensson9801 Ending in killing them all and putting a weak prince into power?

So true

More fake propaganda.

@@eurech do u ever bother to read history

it was either him or her children...everyone would choose their children.

What would you expect? If she didnt her children wouldve been killed

If Mustapha had become king all of Hurrem’s boys would have been killed

And let's not forget she lost her son Mehmet because of him and his mother.Mehmet was a way better prince

Mehmet was killed by mahidevraon..what abt that?? Mustafa had always been led by his mothers tears and huge lies This revolution ( he says) was planned by him to dethrone his father..and obviously Sultan is not going to quietly sit& watch the treason..that too by his own son This foolish step led to the killing of mustafa Mustafa paid for his& mother' s sins He was not a saint
