ngl davut and dilruba scratch my itch for evil people with an evil cooperation doing evil shit together. they have zero development and make zero sense and they're both terrible and reprehensible and completely merciless. they have excellent cooperation and see eye-to-eye on everything. they want no one but each other. they're like the healthiest couple in the magnificent century verse

🕸 Halime Sultan (Aslıhan Gürbüz) — Magnificent Century Kösem Ep.23

Halime Sultan was angry with Dilruba Sultan because she married Davut Pasha without her knowledge and Hünkar's brother's knowledge.

~Halime Sultan~

Her exact date of birth is unknwon. Most historian agree that she was a woman of abkhazian origin.She gave birth to at least four childern to Sultan Mehmed III. Her first and last child have a age differnce of 15 years what suggest that she was clearly the favorite consort. After the death of princes Süleyman and Selim, sons of Handan Sultan, Halime's son Mahmud was the eldest living son. But Mehmed III never named him as his heir. In fact, he saw him as a threat because Mahmud was popular among soliders. Mahmud often spoke against his grandmother, Valide Safiye Sultan. Once, Halime wrote a letter to a seer and asked if her son would ascend the throne, the reply letter came and the seer wrote, that Mahmud would ascend the Throne within 6 months after unpleasant thing happend to Mehmed III. The reply letter unfortunately never reached Halime but her mother in law, Safiye. Mehmed III executed his son Mahmud and Halime was exiled to Old Palace. In fact, it was belived for centuries that Halime was executed along with her son. After Sultan Mehmed's death, Ahmed I ascended the throne. He didn't execute Halime's youngest son Mustafa and thus stopped the fratricide law. But he created cages , appartments where the survived princes lived without right of proper education and right of having harem. After Ahmed's death, Halime's son Mustafa acended the throne. But his reign didn't last long because after all this years spent in kafes, he suffered of mental problems. Mustafa was dethroned and locked up again and Ahmed's son, Osman ascended the Throne. Four years later, Osman was deposed and Mustafa ascended the throne again. Halime worked hard to built alliances and urged to appoint her son in law, Davut Pasha as grand Vezir. Halime and Davut ruled the Empire. Davut Pasha was found guilty of execution of Sultan Osman 2 and was executed in 1623. Halime wothout Davut's help couldn't rule the empire. She made a deal with Kösem Sultan, that Mustafa is going back to kafes and Kösem's son Murad would ascend the throne. Halime moved back to Old Palace. She lived there forgotten. It is unknown when she died but since she is buried in Mustafa's türbe in Hagia Sofia. This suggest that she died after Mustafa who died in 1639.

hey, hope you're fine. could you tell the names of the daughters of mehmet iii? i searched on wikipedia and only one name is given. it was dilruba sultan with halime sultan and married to kara davut pasha. i doubt a sultan's name was dilruba as it wasn't a dynastic name [probably because of mc:k]. i also wondered why many princesses', especially the ones who reached adulthood and also married, names aren't remembered? most sultans had lavish weddings, how could their names not be registered? thank you <3

I have made a post about them so I hope you will read it because I’m pretty proud of it haha

Yeah, Dilruba doesn’t exist. I mean, a princess did indeed marry Kara Davud Paşa but we don’t have her name so far.

Mehmed III’s reign is quite the mystery re. his family, maybe one day we’ll know more. Maybe there are documents we have overlooked-- like the one Tezcan found (I talk about it in the post linked above)

Another theory of mine is that Ahmed I named his eldest children after his siblings, so maybe one day I’ll make a post about it.

My Sultana... I know it's hard, but you have one son left. You need to get on your feet. Otherwise the traitors will kill him too. My Sultana, first we should save Osman, then the traitors' turn will come. Halime Sultan, Dilruba Sultan, Davut Pasha, we will take revenge on them all. 

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

funny as fuck how davut's reaction to being arrested and tortured to death is literally just "(っ¬__¬c)". man really has three files in his brain and they're titled "dilruba <3", "schemes for dilruba <3", and "committing atrocities for dilruba <3<3<3"

[ottomanladies]

What would happen if an imperial princess married a pasha for love in secret like how Dilruba secretly married Kara Davut Pasha

Well, first of all she should have met this pasha before, no? Well, where could has she met him? Contrary to what MC/MC:K depicted, princesses and pashas never met each other in the hallways of Topkapi Palace.

Secondly, secret marriages are not valid accrding to Islamic law unless the bride and the groom provide 2 male witnesses each. So... not secret anymore lol

I don’t think an Imperial princess ever got married in secret. Towards the end of the empire, when men and women mingled more, princesses fought to receive the sultan’s approval to marry who they wanted.
