"Game of Thrones" in the Ottoman Empire. The Last Victims of the Law of Fatih
Kasper Leuken. Deposition of Sultan Mehmed IV

The last sultan, which we managed to talk about in the previous article ("Game of Thrones" in the Ottoman Empire. Fatih's law in action and the emergence of cafes) was a strong man Murad IV, who died of cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 28. And now the time has come for Shehzade Ibrahim from the golden cage of the cafe - the youngest son of Sultan Ahmed I, brother of Osman II and Murad IV.

The first prisoner of the cafe on the throne of the Ottoman Empire



Ibrahim, Sultan of Turkei

Ibrahim was 25 years old at that time, and he spent most of his life in a cafe. He was terribly frightened when he saw strangers entering his room, deciding that the killers had come. And he believed in the death of Murad IV only when he saw his corpse. As you might expect, Ibrahim turned out to be a very weak ruler. It is not surprising that he was sometimes compared to Nicholas II. Ibrahim I even had his own "Rasputin" - a certain Jinji Khoja, who was engaged in the expulsion of genies from dignitaries, courtiers, as well as the wives and concubines of the Sultan. It ended with the fact that Ibrahim was declared insane and killed. And his seven-year-old son Mehmed IV became the new sultan.



Mehmed the Hunter

This sultan held the throne for 39 years. However, he was mainly engaged in hunting (that's why he was nicknamed "The Hunter"). And also calligraphy and writing poetry under the pseudonym of Bethai ("Faithful"). The country was ruled by other people.

At first, his grandmother Kyosem-Sultan, appointed regent, and his mother Turkhan Khatije, who, in the end, came out the winner in this fierce competition, grabbed for life and death. The loser Kyosem Sultan was strangled with a silk cord.

Then viziers from the Köprülü family ruled for 28 years. In Turkey, it is believed that this time became the "golden age" for ordinary citizens of the Ottoman Empire. There were no glorious victories and rapid expansion of the empire, but ordinary people then lived better than ever. It was under Mehmed IV that the Ottoman troops besieged Vienna in 1683, but were defeated by the Polish king Jan Sobieski and the Austrian field marshal Karl of Lorraine. And the "golden age" of the Ottoman Empire ended.

Since that time, the so-called "Great Turkish War" began - a chain of military conflicts in which the Ottomans were constantly defeated: from the Holy Roman Empire, Russia, Poland, Venice and Malta. Military failures, in the end, led to the fact that in 1687 the powerless Sultan Mehmed IV was removed from the throne, but they did not kill. With two concubines, he was sent to one of the palaces of Edirne, where he lived (like in prison) for another 6 years. Another son of Ibrahim I, Suleiman II, who had previously spent 39 years in a cafe, was elevated to the throne.

Sultans from cafes


Suleiman II was a deeply sick man who spent two years in bed out of 4 years of his reign. And his influence on state affairs was small.

At this time, for the first time in stories The Ottoman state began to mint copper coins, a tobacco tax was introduced, but some other taxes were reduced. During the reign of Suleiman II, Turkey once again fought with Austria, losing Bosnia and Belgrade, which, however, was soon returned.

Suleiman was succeeded by his brother, Ahmed II, who spent 48 years in the cafe, doing mainly calligraphy. At present, a copy of the Koran, personally rewritten by him, is kept in Mecca.


Achmet II, Sultan der Turkei

At the same time, the Sultan began to convene the State Council 4 times a week, and important decisions were made collectively. Ahmed II was quite popular among the people. It was even said that he, disguised as a simple citizen, walked the streets of the capital and listened to what people say about the measures taken by him and his government. The war continued with Austria, during which the Ottoman army was defeated on August 19, 1691 at the Battle of Slankomen. Moreover, in this battle, the Grand Vizier of the Fazil Empire Mustafa Köprelu died. Like his older brother, Ahmed II was distinguished by poor health and after accession to the throne he lived for only 4 years.

Mustafa II



Sultan Mustafa II

This son of Mehmed IV (Mustafa II) became an exception to the rule. Since before the accession to the throne, Mustafa II was not kept in a cafe, but lived in Edirne, using limited freedom.

During the reign of Mustafa II, Russian troops took Azov (which was officially ceded to Russia in 1700).

Turkey also fought an extremely unsuccessful war with Austria, the Venetian Republic and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was then that Prince Eugene of Savoy won his first major victory at Zenta (September 11, 1697). It all ended with the conclusion of the Karlovytsky Peace Treaty (January 26, 1699), according to which Turkey lost Hungary, Transylvania, the city of Timisoar, Morea, Dalmatia and Right-Bank Ukraine.

In 1703, during the uprising in Constantinople, Mustafa was forced to renounce the throne in favor of his brother Ahmed. And, according to the old Ottoman tradition, he died soon after his abdication: probably, he was poisoned by the order of the new sultan.

"Age of tulips"



Ahmed III

The new Sultan Ahmed III was 30 years old. And he turned out to be a very big fan of European culture, highlighting France. Under him, printing began to develop rapidly in the Ottoman Empire. An attempt was made to introduce universal primary education. And cultivation of tulips became fashionable: the name of this flower gave the name to the era.

Foreign policy and military successes during his reign alternated with failures, one of which became fatal for this Sultan (but more on that later).

It was Ahmed III who gave refuge to Charles XII, who was defeated at Poltava. And then I didn't know how to get rid of this guest. This was discussed in the article "Vikings" against the Janissaries. The incredible adventures of Charles XII in the Ottoman Empire.

During the reign of Ahmed III, unfortunate for Russia took place Prut campaign of Peter I (see also article Prut disaster of Peter I).

In 1715, Turkey started a war with Venice and recaptured Morea. But after the intervention of the Holy Roman Empire, the Habsburgs suffered defeats at Petrovaradin and Belgrade (the Austrian troops were commanded by Eugene of Savoy) and lost the northern parts of Serbia and Bosnia, Banat and Little Wallachia. However, the Ottomans still managed to save Morey then.

In the 1720s, the Ottoman Empire began a war with Iran, also achieving considerable success at first. But then the Turkish army was defeated. It led to another uprising in Constantinople (September 28, 1730) and the overthrow of Ahmed III (September 29, 1730).

He ceded power to his nephew Mahmud (son of Mustafa II), who (contrary to tradition) did not begin to strangle or persecute the former sultan.

Ahmed died 6 years later, when he was 62 years old, seeing the collapse of all his undertakings (some of the buildings he built were even destroyed).

Mahmoud I



Sultan Mahmoud I

Having come to power, Sultan Mahmud I at the first opportunity executed the Albanian Patron Khalil, a former sailor and janissary, the leader of the uprising that brought him to power. It happened on November 15, 1731.

Then about 7 thousand more people were executed - Khalil's supporters.

This sultan was remembered for the first attempts to modernize the Ottoman army according to European standards (the head of this program was the French Count de Bonneval, who had converted to Islam).

Under Mahmud I, the empire waged unsuccessful wars with Iran (ended with the cession of a number of territories) and with Russia, which, after the campaigns of Minich and Lassi, managed to return Azov.

But the war with the Austrians turned out to be more successful: northern Serbia, Belgrade and Little Wallachia were recaptured.

Mahmud died (as the Turks themselves say) “the death of a righteous man” - when he returned from Friday prayers, sitting on a horse.

New "sultans from the cage"



Osman III

Osman III, was the son of Mustafa II. In 1703, when his father was removed from the throne, the 4-year-old boy was placed in a cafe, where he remained for 51 years.

He was intolerant of bribery, did not like music and women. They said that his shoes were specially nailed so that, hearing the steps of the Sultan, the maids had time to hide.

Christians and Jews, by his order, now had to wear special decals on their clothes.

However, ordinary people of Constantinople remembered this sultan for the help he provided to the townspeople during the great fire of July 1756.

The suspected cause of Mahmud's death was a stroke. Since this sultan did not leave children, his cousin Mustafa III, who spent "only" 27 years in the cafe, became the new ruler.


Mustafa III

This sultan, like Ahmed III, was a supporter of the modernization of the Ottoman Empire along European lines. Invited by Mustafa III, the Hungarian engineer Franz Tott organized separate artillery units in the Turkish army, built a plant for the production of cannons, founded Muhendishan-i Bahr-i Humayun - the first naval school in the Ottoman Empire.

But the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774. ended in disaster for Turkey (it was during this war that Pyotr Rumyantsev won his loudest victories, and the Russian squadron of Alexei Orlov destroyed the Ottoman fleet at Chesma).

Mustafa did not live to see the end of this war. And the Kyuchuk-Kaynardzhi peace treaty was concluded under his successor, Abdul-Hamid I, also a former prisoner of the cafe.

It was during the reign of Abdul-Hamid that Crimea became part of Russia. His nephew, Selim III (son of Mustafa III), was also a "cafe graduate". And just like his father, he dreamed of reforms on the European model.


Selim III, portrait of an unknown artist, 1785

These reforms, called the Nizam-s Jedid (New Order), provided for the replacement of the Janissary corps with a regular army, the opening of military schools, the construction of new types of ships and another attempt to introduce universal primary education. It was under this sultan that the first opera was staged in Constantinople. Selim III raised his nephews, Mustafa and Mahmud, as his own children. And in the end, he was betrayed by one of them.

In May 1807, he was overthrown by the Janissaries and later executed by order of one of his pupils, who became the new sultan, Mustafa IV.

Mustafa's brother, Mahmud, survived only because he managed to escape to the Ruschuk Pasha Alemdar Mustafa Bayraktar, who managed to collect a 15-strong army and move it to Constantinople.

And in June of the next 1808, Mustafa, in turn, was dethroned. The reformist Mahmud II did not want to look "barbarian" in the eyes of "enlightened Europe." And therefore he preferred to evade his responsibilities to eliminate his brother, yielding the right to give the order for his execution to Sheikh-ul-Islam of the Ottoman Empire. Mustafa's execution can be considered the last application of the Fatih law in Turkey.

Mahmud II went down in history as the sultan who liquidated the Janissary corps and banned the Sufi monastic order of Bektash in Turkey. In Turkey, he is known by the nickname "Inkilabchi" ("Revolutionary"). Sometimes he is also called "Ottoman Peter I".


Sultan Mahmud II

To learn more about the corps of janissaries, bektashs and Sultan Mahmud II, see the article Janissaries and Bektashi.

Also, the medieval system of forming the army according to the rule was eliminated, when the owners of land allotments (timars) were obliged to supply horse riders-sipahs in wartime.

These reforms did not save Turkey from military defeats in two wars with Russia (1806-1812 and 1828-1829) and with Greece (1821-1829). It was also restless on the outskirts of the empire. The separatist aspirations of the governors of Ioannina and, especially, Egypt, became a big problem. In 1833, only the intervention of Russia, which sent a squadron headed by M.P. to help Turkey, which was defeated in the war with rebellious Egypt. Lazarev (Bosphorus expedition of the Russian fleet) prevented the disaster. The troops of Ibrahim Pasha, having defeated the Ottoman army at Konya, were already moving towards Constantinople.

The reforms of Mahmud II met with dull resistance from almost all strata of the conservative Ottoman society. And it is impossible to call them very successful. Despite all the efforts of both Mahmud and some of his successors, the Ottoman Empire finally embarked on the path of degradation and decline, which ended with its disintegration and the removal from the throne of the last Sultan Mehmed VI.
On November 1, 1922, the sultanate was abolished. On November 18, Mehmed VI was stripped of the title of Caliph.

This is how the Turkish Republic appeared, which still exists today. But the story of these events is beyond the scope of this article.

The official abolition of the Fatih law took place in 1876 with the accession to the throne of Sultan Abdul-Hamid II.


Abdul Hamid II, before 1900

Then the constitution of the Ottoman Empire was adopted, the third article of which secured the rights of the eldest son:
"The Ottoman supreme power, concentrated in the person of the sovereign, the great caliph, belongs to the senior prince of the Osman dynasty."

      I wonder what explains such an abundance of portraits of sun-like sultans in a country where it is forbidden to create images of living beings at the religious level? Isn't this a Western lie? I mean portraits, parsuns.

                    Article "Albanian warrior and commander Skanderberg", chapter "Sultan Mehmed II and his craving for beauty". This is the first sultan to receive a portrait during his lifetime; his successors did not deny themselves this either.

                      Is this an explanation or what? This is not an answer to the question, and this tladiukol is simply a liar.
                      So the question, one more time.
                      Why, contrary to the BASIC Islamic dogmas, Turkish sultans allowed themselves to deviate from the canons of Islam in the matter of depicting their images? Maybe these sultans from portraits are not living creatures?

                        Because Mehmed Fatih (the Conqueror), the son of a Christian woman - Greek woman Huma Khatun, already wanted to spit on all the prescriptions of Islam that somehow limit his wishlist. How to spit wanted on the prescriptions of Islam prohibiting the use of alcohol, numerous drunkards on the Ottoman throne.
                        As they say, before Allah, everyone is equal, but there are "more equal" individuals.

                        do not compare this, there are basic prohibitions and provisions in Islam
                        - eating pork
                        -prohibition on image
                        - five times namaz
                        -mandatory circumcision
                        yes, it is forbidden to drink alcohol, but this is a step lower than the prohibition, so it is always neglected.
                        Christianity also has bans for clergy
                        -no smoking
                        -do not drink alcohol
                        so priests do not deny themselves a drink, but they NEVER smoke.
                        Likewise, in Islam, pork is not eaten, and portraits are never put on public display NEVER. These are the main prohibitions.
                        Therefore, the fact that you have given many types of "Islamic" images is not true, but most likely these are late fakes dictated from the West.
                        The fact that the sultans were completely autocratic is also not true. The sultan's power has always been limited and the guarantor was the corps of janissaries, who, for the slightest departure from the principles of faith, could immediately raise a riot and remove the sultan.
                        Only after 1827, after the Janissary suppression, Turkey's policy in matters of culture and faith began to reorient itself to the west. And apparently then these portraits began to appear.

                        And in 1827, on this occasion, probably the Italian artists Constanzo da Ferrara, Bertoldo di Giovanni and Gentile Bellini, who painted portraits of Mehmed II, were resurrected? Who then took the portraits they painted with them, since they have been known since the second half of the XNUMXth century.

                        but you certainly have not heard about fakes? It is very naive to chronologize events by referring to portraits, which can always be fakes.
                        As for the miniatures from the Chronicle of the Mongolian Rashid ad Din, which you constantly refer to. There has already been a conversation on this topic. I quoted the words of historians who worked in the Istanbul archives with the first editions of the Chronicles of Rashidaddin and who said that there were NO images there.
                        There is the Leningrad Soviet edition of Rashidaddin, there are no miniatures there either. And you are pulling these miniatures from unverified sources.

                        Ryzhov recklessly uses illustrations, both modern reconstructions of the Mongols, and illustrations from the manuscripts of Jalal ad Din. But did the propagandist historian Ryzhov ask himself where did these manuscripts come from with illustrations?
                        I give an excerpt from an article by Mirgaliyev I.M.
                        This is really an oxymoron, even squared. Someone Bar2, a noteworthy and consistent opponent of the existence of the Mongols in their classical understanding and proving to everyone that the Mongols are Mungals - Gauls - Russians, attracts Mirgaliev, head of the Center for Research of the Golden Horde and Tatar Khanates named after Ryzhov, to fight against the "propagandist historian" ... M.A. Usmanov, the conductor of the idea of ​​the Golden Horde roots of Russian statehood, formed from the Golden Horde ulus, in which the Russian princes did not have any independence.

I saw only a list of his works, mainly from the XIV century, the article referred to by Bar 2 did not find (there was no time to search in detail), although I suspect that in it one can "learn" a lot of "interesting", in particular, from which context pulled out quote. Did you find this article for an hour? In order not to look for me, otherwise something has shaved me ... smile

                        Good evening, Michael. The link to the article is in the commentary of Bar. The article is not sensational. Mirgaliyev describes the process of research and translation into Russian of the manuscript of “Shuab-i Panjgan” by Rashid al-Din, a copy of which he managed to get in the archive of the Topkapi Palace Museum in Istanbul.
                        The author’s disagreements as to whether the indicated work contained illustrations with the historian Grigoryev are also stated.
                        This article has nothing to do with illustrations from JĀME 'AL-TAWĀRIḴ, and Bar 2's generalizations about the fact that if one of the works of any author is not illustrated, then there are no illustrations and his other works are not worth a damn.

                        Good evening.
                        The link didn’t work for me, I searched in the text. But thank you all the same.
                        By the way, about Jami at-tavarih. I looked for information about the illustrations and almost immediately, at the request "Tabriz school of miniatures" I got literally the following (site https://dic.academic.ru)
                        The Persian miniatures of the manuscripts for Jami at-tavarih [8] [9], used by Rashid al-Din in the workshops of the Tabriz library, give an idea of ​​the painting of the early 14th century. 1306 dates back to the year one of the lists stored at the University of Edinburgh, the other, dated 1314 year, belongs to the Asian Society in London.

                        Further there is still:
                        The manuscript "Jami at-tavarih" 1410 — 1415 years
                        This manuscript comes from Ardabil and is now kept in the Paris National Library. It may have been performed in Tabriz. According to Brittany and Weymarn, “the style of miniatures is primitive. Uncomplicated symmetrical compositions are populated with rudely executed static figures of people, more dynamics in the images of animals; the landscape (glades, rocks) is rendered conditionally, flatly. "

                        To be honest, I don’t know why I should doubt that these miniatures in the manuscript took place. request

                        as if everything comes from there from the Edinburgh Library.
                        I gave references to the historian Mirgaliev and to the academician Petrushevsky, and what are you talking about? To a general link to an academician? And you call it proof? These are the proofs here - burnt liars and they are still supported by the site administration.

                        Regarding "Mirgaliyev", who is actually Mirgaleev, a colleague of Undecim told you a year ago:
                        This article has nothing to do with illustrations from JĀME 'AL-TAWĀRIḴ, and Bar 2's generalizations about the fact that if one of the works of any author is not illustrated, then there are no illustrations and his other works are not worth a damn.

                        How many more stakes on your head do you need to make before you learn something? Viktor Nikolaevich and I, unlike you, have read Mirgaleev's article ... laughing

                        When you read the article, did you read there that there were no miniatures, or did you not read it?

                        I remembered a case. The driver, driving me from the airport, began to explain to me the theory of the flat earth. His main argument was the following: You were on an airplane, and what - did you see the round earth? No, you saw it flat. Everything! Arguments about the existence of projections of geometric figures, stories about the masts of ships on the horizon were not taken into account. I don’t see it, so the earth is flat.

The most ancient civilization is the Russian-Etruscan-Slavic-Scythian-Sarmatian, Batu is father, Mamai is mother. Dmitry Donskoy, he is Julius Caesar, he is Tamerlane. 500 years have been cruelly stolen from Russian history.

                        You would have cited the Bashkirs, Ural and Siberian Tatars and Chelyabinsk Nagaybaks as an example! The mullah's acquaintance the other day killed a pig, asked about his health, promised to transfer smoked pig meat with garlic upon recovery. Salom is not shared only at home, it treats, Ukrainians in the corner cry away from the Araslanov, Shamazin and Ufaley recipes of the Bashkirs and Tatars. Every second recipe is a family one !!!!

                        Remember, we had a conversation that the Russian Turks beat Peter 1?
                        In 1599 the Tatars and Turks wanted to dig the Volgodonsk Canal, and the Russians showed them "who is the boss". Later there was the so-called "Azov sitting", when the Don Cossacks captured the Azov from the Turks.

    Where ... where is everything? The last three centuries have just flown by at a cosmic speed ... Apparently, Valery is simply tired of this pampered East, silk laces, mournful singing of muezzins, midday heat, saffron smell and chirping of cicadas ...
    Similar sensations are probably experienced by the concubine in the harem, when the sovereign promised to come in in the evening, she washed, put on makeup, rubbed herself with rose oil, threw a light tunic over her naked body and waited with trepidation for his appearance ... And he went in, told a joke, waved his pen and dumped on somewhere. laughing
    Valery, is it really possible? Where is everything that readers value your work for? Where are the historical tales, catchphrases, albeit not confirmed by sources, but bright and colorful historical facts, controversial interpretations?
    There is even nothing to criticize here. From paragraph to paragraph: he sat in a cafe, got out, ruled, overthrown, died. I could read this on Wiki. Where are the names of viziers, eunuchs, generals, cunning wives and selfish mistresses, deep oriental wisdom and secret murders accompanied by the cries of peacocks?
    Valery, I demand that the Sultan immediately return to his concubine and honestly fulfill his duty as the owner of the harem!

The action takes place exclusively in the harem and in the surrounding area. Category "18 plus - 90 minus". The footage of the episodes depends solely on the endurance of the leading actor.

              Schellenberg assured that Mueller went over to the side of the "communists".
              Here's how he conveys one conversation with him:

              "To steer the conversation down a different path, I said in a light-hearted and jocular tone:
              - Excellent, Herr Müller. Let's start saying "Heil Stalin" right away, and our little dad Mueller will become the head of the NKVD.
              He looked at me, a sinister grin lurking in his eyes.
              “That would be great,” he replied in a disdainful tone, and his Bavarian accent was stronger. - Then you and your die-hard bourgeois friends would have to swing on the gallows ...

              Our conversation took place just at the time when Müller became an ideological shape-shifter ...
              Who knows how many people then moved under his influence to the eastern camp?
              ...
              In 1945 he joined the communists, and in 1950 a German officer who had returned from Russian captivity told me that in 1948 he had seen Müller in Moscow. Mueller died shortly after that meeting. "
              But there is no confirmation of this version.

                Even at school, I met a girl with an amazing memory, she could read a page, and then after 5 years she could quote, she only had to tell where it was written. We didn’t believe and checked, she could remember what she had read in 2 years. Alas, I have no such memory.

                Of us actors, I'm afraid weak. For such a film, I and Bezrukov would only take on the role of a silent eunuch.
                So this:
                The main female role is Chulpan Khamatova, that's understandable. She impressed me with her passion in Zuleikh.
                Sultan - Rocco Siffredi. This one won't let you down.
                Vizier - Danny de Vito. Will rummage back and forth, make funny faces.
                Sultan's mother - sorry there is no Tatyana Peltzer, Svetlana Kryuchkova will have to be taken.
                The chief eunuch is Alexander Baluev. Terrible person.
                The dumb eunuch - Bezrukov, I have already said. He will want to say at least a word in the frame, but he cannot ... I want to see what kind of sick eyes he will have.
                We will make up Lyokha Panin as a girl and send him to the harem. What category of poor man would he fit? Well, there, for tolerance?
                Who else?
                There will be problems with the concubines ... Take it on the Internet - so they are all lipstick there as a blueprint, it will not turn out historically. Although, on the other hand, we are not shooting for the sake of history ... Okay, we got it. The first fifty profiles of girls from 20 to 23 years old - they are still all the same ...
                We also need lesbian feminists, it is desirable that at least one be with Down syndrome ...

              Well, for example, there is an article "History of the city of Moscow" This article contains data from various chronicles, data from archeology, toponyms, etc., etc. And there is an article that contains excerpts from various historical novels in which writers mention the city. Moscow. Can you catch the difference?
              The first article is for those interested in the true history of Moscow, and the second - for "fun", like a detective at night. Such "amateurs" are not interested in the history of Moscow, the main thing for them is entertainment.

    In principle, based on what has been said, much becomes clear. IMHO, Porta was doomed at this level of rulers. What could be expected from the sultans, who spent half their lives in isolation and had neither experience, nor authority, nor time to learn (behind a wide batin's back) management, and, finally, health? Together with the solution of the problem of internecine strife and fratricidal wars, they came to the banal "castration" of the rulers. A whole series of "impotent" in power will shatter any empire. Only one thing is surprising - how stable the empire was.

      The title of Caliph Sultan was deprived on November 18, 1922. And the status is incomprehensible for the Turkish state - yes. Because before the Lausanne Peace Treaty on July 24, 1923, the Turks, in fact, did not have a state - a small stub left by the Entente. If it were not for Kemal, who led the Turkish resistance to the invaders and won two wars - with Armenia and Greece, and Lenin, who promptly organized aid, Turkey would not exist now. We will talk about this a little more.

      Mehmed Fatih, it seems, was a fatalist: to whom Allah helps, he will ascend to the throne. And Allah, you see, will not leave his chosen one without help. Suleiman the Magnificent wrote about the same. But it turned out at first a tough "natural selection". And then - cafes, from which "sterile" sultans emerged, having neither military nor administrative experience.

    In Turkey there were Kafes, and in RI Kholmogory, where the family of Anna Leopoldovna was kept and for them affected their mental abilities. And among the sultans of the "graduates" of cafes, there were also sensible ones: Ahmed 3 thought there was universal primary education, and this was at the beginning of the 18th century!
    Selim 3 wanted to open military schools. It turns out that European trends penetrated into the Cafe.? So there was some kind of education. Perhaps some of the ruling ts sultans "thought about future cadres"

      It probably depended on the personality of the prisoner of the cafe. Someone asked for books, someone rewrote the Koran, someone quietly drank themselves and smoked.
      By the way, about Kholmogory - a sensible thought. And also John Antonovich can be considered our prisoner of the cafe - the fate of a typical Ottoman shehzade, and in fact he was the legitimate emperor

    Yes, our dear Author was probably tired and at once flew past the story, which is full of charm for me, in the introduction. At least the beginning. And it began, this story, with a meeting of a girl with a strong character, extremely independent, with the young Sultan Ahmed I. The girl took the Sultan for a simple servant and made friends with him, not suspecting that she was brought to the palace because of her own portrait, - the sultan fell in love with the portrait!
    Of course, this is a movie, the series "The Magnificent Century. The Kyosem Empire". But all the characters are historical. The fact that Mr. Ryzhov did it in one or two paragraphs, the series stretched out into many episodes full of tragedy. The little girl became Kyosem, that is, "the most beloved", and, having survived the death of her husband from illness (to be honest, the movie sultan was sympathetic to me), she saved and brought to the throne a child alien to her under the name of Mehmed IV.
    Unlike the series about Roxollan, the Kyosem Empire's narrative is filled with much more brutality than it actually took place. Suleiman the Magnificent's reign was much softer. Even taking into account the murder of Ibrahim's faithful friend.
    Based on the series of events in both series, the impression was that the Janissaries played a significant role in the internal politics of Turkey at that time, and the further, the more their importance increased. Kyosem, not suffering from a lack of intelligence and personal courage, gradually manipulated them.
    In general, the Turks see their history of that time as the rule of extraordinary, intelligent and insidious women trying to survive and bring their offspring to power. This is how the fear of death and the possibility of the death of your child discipline. How familiar!
    And yes, harems, judging by the films, are still gadyushniki.
