#valide turhan sultan

[fictonrantsworld]

Turhan Sultan, I will never forgive the producers for only giving you 4 episodes, but that didn't stop me from making you one of my favourites... u served hard, with limited time u had and Ibrahim never deserved you.

Literally the only Sultana that was smart enough to care about herself and her son first and not the sultans love.

Ayşe Hafsa Sultan & Nurbanu Sultan

Both were consorts to sultans named Selim.

Ayşe Hafsa was the first to hold the title of Valide Sultan, while Nurbanu was the first to hold it as an official, legally recognized position.

Both were known for their beauty.

Both were charitable and beloved by the people.

Handan Sultan & Saliha Dilaşub Sultan

Both were of Balkan Slavic origin (Handan was Bosnian, Dilaşub may have been Serbian ).

Both were the first concubines presented to the prince/sultan.

[chaos-of-the-abyss]

ok i just learned that mck only gives turhan four episodes of screentime and that's... such a disappointment? this woman was the last prominent figure in the sultanate of women, the last great valide sultan, after whose death it was said that "everyone was sad and sorrowful and wailed, saying ‘alas, the strongest prop of the state is gone.’” and you introduce her in the very last stretch of your two+ hours per episode, sixty episode long show? why

[ottomanladies]

I wish to give an opinion of daughters of Ibrahim. There is a great abyys in lack of prooves to demarcate daughters of Ibrahim, Atike and Gevherhan. At times, I have an opinion that Atike existed, and at another times that she didn’t exist. For now, I favour the other theory, but i will talk one day about that topic more detailed.

Archiv für Kulturgeschichte Band 77 on page 65, that at the very end of reign of Sultan Ibrahim, Valide Sultan received 125 okka per month, daughters of Murad III named Hümaşah and Hatice received 7 okka per month, daughter of Murad III Fahri(han) received 10 okka per month, Kaya Sultan 16 okka per month, daughters of Ibrahim Gevherhan and Beyhan 30 okka per month and daughter of Ibrahim Fatma 50 okka per month.

Why would Gevherhan and Beyhan receive less stipend than Fatma, as Fatma was adopted and raised by Turhan? Btw, Fatma survived her husband, read Sakaoglu (actually, Ulucay proved it first). Also, in Acta et Diplomata Ragusina, Fatma is mentioned in 1658 document as widow of Fazli Pasha, nothing else is said unfortunately…

Anyway, I would claim that Ayşe Sultan binti Ibrahim really existed. See this quote from work The rise of the Köprülü family (p. 129):

For instance, when Prince Mustafa, the first son of Mehmed IV, was born in Edirne Palace in 1664, Ayşe Sultan, Gevherhan Sultan and Beyhan Sultan, sisters of Mehmed IV, were called to Edirne Palace from Topkapı to join in the celebration for the new prince. This summons shows that some members of the sultan’s family still resided in Topkapı Palace after 1663.

I consider her being the own sister of Mehmed IV. Kütükoğlu was only one right, he was married to Ibrahim’s Ayşe. Ahmed’s Ayşe really died in 1656, in document Vakfiler su defteri there is one document mentioning Ayşe Sultan died before 1660 (if I recall). Her last husband was Ibsir Mustafa Pasha. Sadly, Ibrahim’s Ayşe was wrongly confused also as Ibsir’s wife. Her one and only marriage was with Suleiman Pasha Malatuk (Ermeni). Alderson confused her with Murad IV’s daughter.

In work Atik şikâyet defteri (7 numaralı H.1081-1083/ M.1671-1672) transkripsiyon, Mehmed IV wrote several letters in 1671/72 to his sisters Ayşe and Gevherhan, and their husbands. He doesn’t refer them as hemşirem, but it’s them.

Anyway, in work OSMANLI DEVLETİ’NİN 1660-1661 (HİCRİ 1070-1071) TARİHLİ SEFER BÜTÇESİ  (pp. 23-24), there were provided annual payments of some Ottoman princesses in 1661. This payment list does not refer to all of the Sultanas who were knowly alive in 1661, as Ahmed’s daughter Fatma Sultan for example. Only some of them.:

Hâshâ-i hazret-i Valide Sultan 12.000.000

Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Ayşe Sultan 2.595.333

 Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Fatıma Sultan 2.005.000

 Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Rukiyye Sultan 1.235.000

Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Safiye Sultan 1.005.000

Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Beyhan Sultan 1.560.000 24

Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Gevherhan Sultan 1.520.000

Hâshâ-i Ayşe sultan haseki-i merhum Gazi Sultan Murad Han aleyhi’r-rahmeti ve’l-gufran 100.000

Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Ümmi Sultan 295.000

Hâshâ-i paşmaklık-ı Sâime Sultan 285.000

Hâshâ-i temlik-i merhum Kaya Sultan 1.250.000

See how Mehmed’s cousins (Murad IV’s daughters) and sisters (especially) received high payments, in difference to his aunt Ümmi Sultan and his great-great-aunt Saime Sultan. But, you would notice his sisters Ayşe and Fatma received the highest salaries; Ayşe the very highest as own sister, Fatma little lesser as adopted sister.

Sorry for the long wait, I have been incredibly busy these past few months.

About Ayşe binti Ibrahim, I would refer to this post, in which @rhaenahanzades found that the one married to Ermeni/Malatyalı Süleyman Pasha was Ayşe binti Ahmed I. I’ll paste the citation again, here:

“Soliman passa, Visir della Porta. Ritrouai anche alla Corte per Visir della Porta il Sr Soliman passa, stato un tempo Visir Supremo, dal quale fui all'udienza e lo presentai secondo le comissioni, il quale nell'honorarmi e trattarmi bene non uolse mostrarsi meno cortese degl'altri, offerendosi con molta humanità per ogni occorenza de publici seruitii. Questo Sr è assai noto all'EE. VV. per rellationi di diuersi loro ambassadori, onde a me non occorre tediarle in detto proposito. Dirò solo questo, che non le uol male e che sia personaggio da potterle fauorire, essendo ben uoluto da S. Mtà, col quale è ancor congiunto col uincolo di parentella, mentre la sua zia Aisce sultana tiene per moglie.” (“Dubrovačka akta i povelje” vol. 3, pages 661 and 662)

I believe Ayşe binti Ibrahim died pretty young and therefore never entered the Ragusian ambassadors’ lists of gifts.

As for Fatma binti Ibrahim, I must have missed when it was decided that she had been adopted by Turhan because I have never heard of this.

About the list of payments you’ve found, I’m not sure those princesses are identified correctly:

I have identified them based on seniority and the amount of money, which seems to me to be what their lands yield. I don’t think these are stipends.

Anyway, if we put the princesses in order of amount of money, I think it’d be easier to understand who is who:

Ayşe and Fatma stand at the top of the hierarchy because a) they’re older and b) they must have amassed a great amount of land during their lives. After them we have the sisters of the reigning sultan (Mehmed IV), so Beyhan and Gevherhan (possibly in order of birth??); then we have Murad IV’s daughters (Kaya is mentioned as deceased because she was at the time), and lastly we have two minor princesses: Saime, a daughter of Murad III and a non-haseki concubine, and Ümmi, either a daughter of Ahmed I or of Murad III as well. I say this because I think their small amount of land means they were not daughters of Haseki Sultans: if Ümmi is Ayşe and Fatma’s sister that’s the only reason she would possess less land than them.

[burningdreambanana]

hi! i see you call Beren!Kösem a mary sue, and while i do agree and have considered her one since my first watch of mc: k, i wonder why this seems to be an easy, and in fact very popular conclusion, while seldom the same is said about her predecessors and sucessor, who share traits she's criticized for. all are always victorious, have characters included in the show just to end up killed or exiled by them and sometimes are saved by conspicuous (and sometimes ridiculous) script-favor. mc and mc: k even close the show with the wins (if not perfect) of Nurbanu and Turhan, respectively. still, i've only seen Hürrem and Turhan being called mary sues once each (and in Hürrem's case it was by a hater). what makes them, at least Hürrem and Nurbanu, compelling as women in their way to power, unlike Kösem? thanks in advance.

A key difference is that Hürrem and Nurbanu struggle to their way to power, they suffer setbacks, humiliations and important losses and have to fight hard to earn their victory. Hürrem was the legal wife of the sultan and still suffering at the hand of Valide Hafsa, Kosem was 16 and kicking Safiye’s ass like it was nothing. 

Winning is not an issue in itself, a first season about Kosem ending on her being regent, having successfully navigated through turbulent times, would always be a great victory, but it should feel like the culmination of a long, turbulent journey, whereas by the time Kosem ends up as regent in the finale, we’ve seen her win so much and with such ease that it feels like just another Tuesday. 

I also never got the impression that Hurrem or Nurbanu were getting glazed to no end for simply existing. On the contrary, both are villainized by other characters throughout the show more than anything. Hurrem gets a lot of praise and love in her finale episode which feels very emotional because we’ve seen her being so hated throughout the show, while MCK expects us to take Kosem as a legendary figure basically from the moment the Beren Saat version is introduced.

Hurrem and Nurbanu do benefit from lucky circumstances that can appear as being a little bit too convenient at times (this is still a soap opera after all) but it doesn’t outweigh their struggle, while the plot contrivances and dumbing down of other characters (especially women) in MCK is something that hits you in the face every episode imo. 

Finally, neither Hurrem nor Nurbanu warps the world around them the same way Kosem is. They don’t rewrite historical events to make them the main force behind them, and I don’t feel like other characters were sacrificed to elevate them. I’ve seen some people argue that Mahidevran was done dirty to prop up Hurrem, but I maintain that she’s a morally grey, well-written character who is offered a lot of sympathy by the narrative (ex : there’s a lot of focus on her grieving for Mustafa, while Mehmed’s death was largely ignored for example)

As for Turhan, I think it’s complicated to judge because she only 4 eps, and so there a definitely things that don’t make a lot of sense and are contrived, like how she's suddenly strong enough to defeat Kosem. However, I actually think that her character is a victim of the relics of the pro-Kosem bias. They purposefully made her very cold, arrogant and quite mean (while the real Turhan at least knew how to present herself as humble), and made her actions look worse (sending pirates after listen Osman, turning Kosem’s death into a massacre), so it doesn’t feel right to call her a Mary Sue.

10 most Influential women in the Ottoman Empire (plus five non- sultans)

I must say in advance, this is purely my opinion and it doesn't include legal power,but general influence. For example if one woman had more legal power but still was limited to some actions, that another woman could get away with, I will rank her higher. Let's start with non sultans.

Part I: Non-Sultans

Number 5: Çevri kalfa

Çevri kalfa was a woman of Georgian origin and previously loyal servant to Nakşidili Sultan (also Georgian). She became mistress head treasurer( Baş hazindar usta) after accession of Mahmud II, who she saved from executioners by throwing them hot coals and sneaking the prince out. After becoming Head treasurer, she attained so much wealth that she could afford expensive clothes not even sultans wore. A girls school, built in her name, is one of the first schools for girls and the biggest primary school in Istanbul. She remained in her office until her death and was Sultan's trusted and favoured advisor.

Number 4: Meleki Kalfa

Meleki kalfa was a servant of Kösem and Ibrahim, however following the deposition of the sultan, she secretly switched sides as an agent of Turhan. Meleki played an important role in Turhan's rebellion by giving her information about Kösem's plan to dethrone Mehmed. After Kösem's death and Turhan's accession, she became an important person in Valide Sultan's court, was freed and married to Şaban Khalife. The couple built a residence in Istanbul, where Meleki not only conditioned her line of information to Turhan, but also acted as a negotiator in the palace on behalf of people. The political influence of her and her husband grew so much and they were murdered in 1656 for abuse of power.

Number 3: Gulfem Hatun

I have spoken about her in my previous posts

Number 2: Mahidevran Hatun

I have thought a lot about where to put her. People would expect her to be Number 1,mostly because they are used to her being sultan. That is what I first thought,for other reasons,but here we are. She has several significant influences that not many other women had:

1. She was popular with janissaries and people

2. Had a spy network, allowing her to hear major events happening in the capital.

3. She had strong allies. Ibrahim Paşa supported her and Mustafa later in his life, Hatice and her husband were supporting her openly or indirectly.

4. She was a considerable rival to the first and one of the most powerful women in the ottoman empire.

5. She had powerful characteristics: Was an intelligent, educated woman. Could mask her resentment towards Hürrem and act calmly around him.

6. She was a trusted advisor to her son. Actually, she supported the idea of Mustafa revolting against Suleiman,but only after she received information about his imminent execution, through her spy network.

Number 1: Çanfeda Kalfa

Çanfeda was the woman of Circassian origin, who served as second in command of Nurbanu for 18 years and the ruler of harem for another 11, so we can say she was de-facto Valide sultan.

In her almost three decades of service, she acquired wealth, so great that it attracted negative attention of Janissaries and even the grand Vizier. Although she collected such affluence through her salary(that was extraordinarily high consisting of 200 akches a day, it was the average salary of an imperial princess) and bribery, she used it for selfless purposes. She built three mosques, fountains, hamams, two schools, irrigation systems and fixed the roads, costing her several million akches, still she remained as one of the wealthiest people in the empire. In 1595, when Safiye exiled her, she needed dozens of carriages to carry her holdings, which apparently did not consist of much of the furniture, because she bought it from Venice the next year. It's also considerable that as an exiled person, she had to give up some of her wealth to imperial treasury.

Apart from her vital involvements in harem management in which she dominated Safiye, she had considerable influence over state matters as well. Çanfeda used her connections to install her not so bright brothers as paşas and after the series of mistakes,they were imprisoned, Çanfeda not only defied Grand viziers orders and had them set free,but restored them to their offices as well. Her power, wealth and influence came to the attention of Janissaries, who demanded her dead, but she got away with this as well. Another indication of her power, was her attempt to free the second son of sultan Murad. Even though she was caught red handed, the power it would take to infiltrate the prison is still considerable.

P.S. I did not list Halime and Handan,because after becoming Valide Sultans and regents they reached a whole different level, leagues above almost every single woman in ottoman history, however their power and influence was immense even when they were Hatuns.

As there is only 10 images/Gif limit. I will speak about 10 most powerful women in second posts.

[rhaenahanzades]

As you know, in 1655, fourteen sultanas received gifts from Ragusian envoys:

1. Fatma sultana moglie di Fasli passa

2. Ghiusciahato sultana moglie di Chienan passa

3. Behar sultana moglie di passa di Cairo

4. Caia sultana moglie di Melek passa

5. Ruckie sultana moglie di Telak Mustafa passa

6. Fatisce sultana moglie di Haidar passa

7. Aisce sultana stata moglie di Gascir passa

8. Fatma sultana moglie di Jusuf passa

9. Vsci sultana moglie di Ahmet passa

10. Faslite sultana moglie di Lauer passa

11. Fatige sultana moglie di Jusuf basci

12. Inasce sultana moglie di Hassan passa

13. Hatige sultana moglie di Jusuf Gesali

14. Safie sultana moglie di Haidar Sade, figlia di sultan Murat

______________

1. Fatma Sultan binti Ibrahim, wife of Fasli pasha

2. Gevherhan Sultan binti Ibrahim, wife of Sari Kenan Pasha

3. Beyhan Sultan binti İbrahim, wife of Haseki Mehmed Pasha

4. Kaya Sultan binti Murad IV, wife of Melek Ahmed Pasha

5. Rukiye Sultan binti Murad IV wife of Tellak Mustafa Pasha

6. ???

7. Ayşe Sultan binti Ahmed I, wife of Ibşir Pasha

8. Fatma Sultan binti Ahmed I, wife of Koca Yusuf Pasha

9. Ümmügülsüm Sultan binti Ahmed I, wife of Ahmed Pasha

10. Fahrihan Sultan binti Murad III, wife of Dilaver Pasha

11. Atike Sultan binti Ahmed I, wife of Doğancı Yusuf pasha

12. Hümaşah Sultan binti Murad III, wife of Nakkaş Hasan Pasha

13. Hatice Sultan binti Murad III(?), wife of Jusuf pasha

14. Safiye Sultan binti Murad IV, wife of Haydarzade Mehmed Pasha

I have problem to identify certain Fatisce sultana, wife of certain Haydar Pasha. It could be misspelled by Ayşe, Atike, even Hatice. And I don't know whose daughter it could be. Maybe Turhan's daughter, Atike Ayşe Sultan? I don't know...

I wanted to ask you what do you think of this, who the sultana and the pasha are, because I am not sure.

Hi! Well, I'm sorry that I can't be of much help with this. I also have no idea who this princess could be, though I've been curious about her too. From what I searched about it before, there was apparently not an influential Haydar Pasha in that period (by influential I mean a vizier or admiral), which makes me think this princess might've not been exactly Turhan's daughter, maybe just one of Ibrahim's with a random woman. But as we know, there were cases were less influential matches for daughters of Hasekis and/or Valides were made depending on the situation (aka Hanzade with Bayram Pasha, which was a very specific situation). Unfortunately, we know nothing about this Haydar Pasha to make much with it and much less of what might've been his role in politics of that time.

TURHAN SULTAN // HASEKI SULTAN

“She was the first Haseki Sultan of the Ottoman Sultan Ibrahim (reign 1640–48) and Valide sultan as the mother of Mehmed IV (reign 1648–87). Turhan was prominent for the regency of her young son and her building patronage. She and Kösem Sultan are the only two women in Ottoman history to be regarded as official regents and had supreme control over the Ottoman Empire. As a result, Turhan became one of the prominent figures during the era known as Sultanate of Women.”

Royal Gifts and Exchanges

Turhan Valide Sultan, the mother of Sultan Mehmet IV, presented her son with a valuable golden dagger adorned with a single emerald at the inauguration of a new structure she had commissioned. This gesture of gratitude was among the most significant gifts exchanged within the royal family. Additionally, Sultan Mehmet IV followed the tradition of gifting valuable items to commanders, provincial governors, state officials, and foreign envoys, which were considered significant expenses for the treasury.

Diplomatic Gifts and Campaign Rewards

During campaigns, gifts were sent to allies such as the Khan of Crimea and distributed among members of the Imperial Army, including the commander-in-chief and officers of various ranks. After the conquest of the Candia fortress, the Sultan rewarded the Grand Vizier and Commander-in-Chief Serdar-i Ekrem with luxurious robes, adorned maces, and jeweled daggers, continuing the tradition of rewarding military successes with valuable items Private Istanbul Tours.

Continuous Flow in the Treasury

The exchange of gifts between the Ottoman Empire and its allies, as well as the rewards bestowed by the Sultan, ensured a continuous flow of valuable items in and out of the treasury. Records meticulously documented these transactions, often providing explanations or annotations for the items exchanged or received. Notably, significant goods such as the “Kaşıkçı Elması,” the largest diamond in Ottoman regalia, entered the treasury through unique circumstances, such as being found by a poor woman and later sold to a spoon-maker.

Unique Treasury Acquisitions

Aside from diplomatic exchanges and campaign rewards, the treasury also acquired valuable items through purchases. One notable example is the “Kaşıkçı Elması,” which has a fascinating origin story—it was discovered near the Tekfur Palace in Istanbul’s Ayvansaray district and eventually became one of the prized possessions of the Ottoman Empire.

oh holy shit just found this edit but holliday grainger playing lucrezia in the borgias is an insanely good turhan fancast??? one thing about the historical turhan is that she was overlooked because of her youth and inexperience (she was give her take in her early twenties when mehmed iv ascended), and her newfound position as valide sultan was something of an anomaly due to her not yet being in her post-reproductive stage, which prior valide sultans had reached. holliday grainger's portrayal of lucrezia definitely fits that sort of youthful, silk-hiding-steel vibe very well

How much influence was Turhan Hatice Sultan able to retain after her regency had ended? Are there any recorded moments of her using said influence post-regency?

I'd say this:

When the Marquis de Nointel, ambassador of Louis XIV, arrived by ship in Istanbul in 1670, he did not make the customary artillery salute when passing by the imperial palace, both because he wished to assert the superiority of the French monarchy to the Ottoman sultanate and because the sultan, Mehmed IV, was absent in Edirne. The city was scandalized and the ambassadorial community furious at the French for jeopardizing its collective standing. The diplomatic crisis was resolved when Turhan Sultan appeared one day with her retinue on the shore of the palace grounds in order to inspect a ship under construction and demanded that the French perform the royal salute in her name. The French ships were immediately decked out with multicolored banners, and their artillery began to fire, vying with the palace cannon, which were also fired in the valide sultan's honor. Soon, however, the volume and duration of the French detonations began to annoy the population of the city, and the Ottoman admiral sent word that pregnant women were miscarrying because of the disturbance.

She still represented the sultan even though she was not the regent anymore.

worst scenes quality-wise in MC and MC: K (either/both about writing and about acting) 😈.

I've already answered for scenes that are both badly acted and badly written in MC so I will focus on scenes/plots of poor quality in terms of writing, regardless of the quality of the acting.

The list isn't complete, not in order, and mostly on the top of my head:

Anything related: Isabella, Valeria, the secret weddings of the princes Finding Firuze's tattoo. Either Suleiman somehow never saw her back (what kind of boring sex were they having?), or Rustem somehow knows more about his archenemy than he does. Nurbanu coming to take Mehmet. I know the show was never accurate in terms of how much freedom of movement the concubines had but this one was just too dumb and nonsensical Nigar's death scene and its framing as being somehow deserved Murad and Mihrimah scenes in ep139. Why is he dumber and more naive as an adult than he was as a teenager? Hurrem killing Rana without a care in the world and also while it makes sense that she scapegoats Nurbanu, her again having no feelings about leaving her grandkids orphans was odd, did they forget how much she cared about her family? Cihangir's death scene being out of heartbreak because of Mustafa's death (give me a break). I have a headcanon that makes it more tolerable but still. Plus it dragged for way too long and it cemented his indifference towards his mother which is also bad writing and I hate it Bayezid going to Manisa with a group of soldiers in full armor yet Suleiman not hearing about it (I know it's a large empire, but this is such a big thing that it doesn't make sense to) Rustem's video game death scene Mahidevran trying to kill an unborn dynasty child and putting Suleiman's life in danger and yet Valide is more disturbed about Suleiman calling Hurrem his "sultan" Selim saying that Nurbanu must have provoked Huricihan (yes it's not objective but I hate this scene, there are other toxic scenes of them that I get, but this one never) (And this is getting too long)

MCK (again not complete, not in order and focusing mainly on quality): Kosem stopping the rebellion and becoming briefly immortal Fahriye writing a confession letter for no reason Safiye kidnapping Mehmet and then standing menacingly on a balcony Kosem being somehow able to decide who gets to be sultan and making the dumbest decision possible The statesmen being all angry that Halime locked up Ahmet's boys when they didn't give a shit when it was Mustafa Kosem holding divan without the sultan Farya's baby. She was a free woman and not Murad's wife at the time, her being pregnant should be a massive deal yet they never discuss it Gulbahar's army of fanatic teenage ninjas (it was hilarious and iconic but I have to admit it was also extremely stupid and nonsensical) Murad telling Farya he would take her by force if necessary, her telling it to her mother and her mother being like "but you loved that didn't you" and Farya smiling (barf) Murad and Farya at all times really Murad conquering an entire castle by himself Kosem building an entire underground secret tunnel but Murad or his spies somehow never noticing Turhan's seven good men somehow defeating Kosem's entire battalion of janissaries (They are many more but this a good sample)
