[awkward-sultana]

"If princes were the lifeblood of the Ottoman sultanate, princesses were loved specially. Unlike their brothers, they could never rival their father for popularity and prestige. And like their counterparts around the world, they were useful for the political alliances their marriages consolidated. A vigorous producer of sons, Suleyman may well have wished for more daughters, for only one, Mihrumah, would survive to adulthood. Later in life the sultan seemed to compensate by devoting a great deal of attention to his granddaughters' engagements and weddings...Mihrumah, approaching her eleventh birthday, was the only little princess in the palace. She must have been its darling..." - Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire, Leslie Peirce

Meryem Uzerli as HURREM SULTAN [42/?] Muhteşem Yüzyıl (Magnificent Century, 2011)

[humasahsultanimsworld]

"Which justice is this? When I came to this palace, I was alone. No one protected me, and everyone was against me. İbrahim Pasha, Hatice Sultan, our late Mother, Mahidevran, everyone! How many times have I come back from death? What insults have I heard, what exiles have I seen, what punishments I have seen or experienced? Everyone said something about me; cruel, witch, wizard, cruel, but no one talked about what was done to me, no one!"
