Today I'll tell you about Hurrem Sultan, she started sultanate of women in Ottoman Empire.
Roxelana - Hurrem (1505 - 1558 )
Probably she came from Poland, in 1520 drifted to Sultan Suleiman's harem. Hurrm bore him five children - Mehmet, Mihrimah, Selim ( future Sultan ), Bayezid and Cihangir. In 1530 she became sultan's wife. Sultan was known for her charity work. As the first woman in Turkey built mosques. In a war of impacts at the royal court, she contributed to the death of Mustafa ( Sultan Suleiman's son ) and Grand Vizier Ibrahim. Hurrem never was Valide Sultan, she died on 15 April 1558.
