Çalıkuşu Final

Feride’nin mektubu;

“Azelya romanını baştan sona okudum Kamran. Bir daha yoluma çıkma. Yolun açık olsun. Ben bunu ilk kez yürekten söyledim. Ve ben bunu ilk kez böyle yürekten söyleyince bir dua niteliği kazandı. Kalbim barıştı seninle böylece. Herkes ettiğini bulur, ben de, sen de. Bu hep böyle.

...

Benim şu hayatta yaptığım en berbat doksan sekizinci iş, almak seni, çoğaltmak, kendime katmaktır. Benim şu hayatta yaptığım en berbat doksan dokuzuncu iş, tutup seni düşlerime yakıştırmaktır. Ne çıkar rüyalarıma girsen? Rüyalarımdan gitsen ne çıkar? Ben çoktan ağlamışım gözlerimi, görmüyorum artık seni. Sen var olsan ne çıkar, olmasan ne çıkar?”

"When a man dies, what will happen to his heart?"

You know, Suleiman the Magnificent died during the Zigetvar Battle, and his death was kept as a secret from his soldiers to guaranty the victory. Until Sultan Selim I - The Blonde came to Hungary as the New Commander, no one knew it except Sokollu Mehmed Pasa and the doctors who mummied him. His heart burried in Zigetvar in a golden cup and his empty body burried in İstanbul. 

here is the National Geographic’s new:

HISTORY MEME » Kösem Sultan ♔(Devletlu İsmetlu Mahpeyker Kösem Valide Sultan Aliyyetü’ş-Şân Hazretleri)

Kösem was of Greek origin, the daughter of a priest on the island of Tinos. Her maiden name was Anastasia. She was bought in Ottoman Bosnia by the Bosnian beylerbey, and sent to Istanbul, the Ottoman capital, at the age of fifteen, to the Harem of Sultan Ahmed I after cancelling her education in Istanbul. Her name was changed after her conversion to Mahpeyker (Moon-Shaped), and later by Sultan Ahmed I to Kösem.

Kösem bore Ahmed I their first son, Murad, and later became the mother of the princes Ibrahim and Bayezid, and the main Sultana of the Harem.

Kösem was transferred to the old palace on the death of Sultan Ahmed in 1617, but returned as Valide Sultan (Queen Mother), when her son Murad IV was enthroned in 1623.

However, the youth of her son required the appointment of the Valide Sultan Kösem as his official regent.

Between 1623 and 1632, Kösem was appointed not only Valide Sultan but also, as official regent during his minority; she became the first woman in history who ruled the Ottoman Empire officially and alone. While women had been de facto regents in the empire before her, no woman had ever formally been regents, and her position was thereby new. During most of the reign of Murad IV she effectively ran the empire, attending meetings of the Divan (cabinet) from behind a curtain.

After the deaths of her both sons Murad IV and Ibrahim I, Kösem presented her grandson Mehmed IV to the Divan as emperor, basically declaring herself regent again. Mehmet was only six years old and it was his mother Turhan Hatice who was Kösem’s undoing. Turhan Hatice should have been named Valide Sultan as the new Sultan’s mother, but Kösem took over. A power struggle ensued. Kösem planned to kill Mehmet and replace him with another grandson, possibly one with a less ambitious mother, but her plan was unsuccessful.

It was Mehmed’s mother Turhan Hatice who proved to be Kösem’s nemesis. Turhan ordered Kösem’s assassination when she heard that Kösem was said to be plotting Mehmet’s death and replacement by another grandson with a more pliant mother.

After her death her body was taken from Topkapi to the Old Palace (Eski Sarayı) and then buried in the mausoleum of her husband Ahmad I. When Kösem died the people of Istanbul observed three days of mourning.
