#*murad II

[us-military-official]

love him or hate him, not many men could desert their empire, join a slew of the empire's victims together, beat the sultans' forces over and over against all odds, and not even die on the battlefield

Rewatching the Murad era of Muhtesem Yuzyil: Kosem sure hits different now that I've obsessed about Alicent and Aegon's mother-son relationship a 100 different ways. Unfortunately, my baby Alicent is not the iron-fisted force of nature Kosem is, and Murad shares Aegon's impulsive brashness but his decisions pan out better. The mother-son dynamic though, and the fact that both mothers outlived the sons...plus, judging by the S2 trailer, just like Murad, Aegon is going to make a habit of not heeding the woman who enthroned him.

Sons as their mother's sword arm except the blade is poisoned, URGH!!!!

"Of the several ways in which Nurbanu's career broke tradition, her burial in the tomb of Selim II had perhaps the greatest symbolic import. [...] By linking his mother with his father in this manner, Murad emphasized his mother's place within the dynastic family and suggested that his legitimacy was derived from her as wella s from his father." —The Imperial Harem, by Leslie Peirce

#magnificent century #ottoman history #nurbanu sultan #selim ii #murad iii #my caps #okay but seriously #Selim loved his son so much #that contemporaries were baffled #like he totally defied the expectations of the time to be a family man #I also view this move on his part as a true sign of just how much he loved nurbanu #since unlike with his father #there wasn't any motivating factor for him to marry his haseki #it really seems like he just did it because he wanted to esteem her as his partner

This dark blue, creme and golden kaftan was first worn by Sultan Osman II in the twenty-seventh episode of the first season of Magnificent Century: Kösem. It briefly appeared again on a teenage Sultan Murad IV in a flashback in the twenty-sixth episode of the second season.

I think I should do a gif set of Murad telling Selim he knows what his father did to survive and he won't make the same mistakes and then the scene from Kösem about the many little coffins that left the palace on the day of his son suceeding to the throne.

“I associate King Abdullah II of Jordan with Selim II (Sultan of the Ottoman Empire) and his wife Nurbanu Sultan with Queen Rania of Jordan, I think they are as similar as possible, especially the way they came to power, and I consider Crown Prince Hussein similar to Sultan Murad III (son of Selim II) and Rajwa similar to Safiye Sultan (Nurbanu daughter-in-law and Murad wife).” - Submitted by Anonymous

Kings & Queens – Abdal Hakim Murad: Friday Sermon

In the passing of the Queen we are reminded of the words of The Ever Living, “Wherever you may be, death will catch up with you, even if you are inside high castles” [Qur’an 4:78]. Though the optics of opulence are not from the faith, they can – and have – served the faithful over the course of Muslim history. The story of the King of Ethiopia from the life and times of the Messenger ﷺ illustrates the Prophetic recognition of nuance, and the value of highlighting similarities rather than differences – something that the new King, Charles III, has been doing for many decades as Prince, in regards to Islam and the West.

Athener Kaffee-Tagebuch: Leoforos Nikis und Weißer Turm

Jetzt gilt es entlang der Leoforos Nikis am Meer zu flanieren. Der Boulevard beginnt als Fortsetzung der Navarchou Koundouriotou Pavlou an der Platia Eleftherias mit dem Shoa-Denkmal und führt in südöstlicher Richtung entlang der Küste vorbei an der Platia Aristotelous bis zum Weißen Turm, wo er in die Leoforos Megalou Alexandrou übergeht. Sie ist auch als Palea Paralia – Alte Uferpromenade –…

Murad II had a dogshit tughra. very off-balance. terrible

[kingdoms-and-empires]

As someone who was raised a lot by their grandparents, and is a lot like their grandfather, I really appreciate you can be like Gramps. Even he is borderline psychotic at times 😭

I also low-key love the craziness that's gonna follow when I mirror my MC after him 🙃. Bring on the chaos.

Remiel is, in my opinion, a representation of what some of these historical figures had to go through in order to gain, keep, and conquer a throne. People like Edward IV, Shapur II the Great, Murad IV, Ivan the Terrible, Carolus Rex, and of course Alexander the Great. There's so many more.

Becoming the leader of a nation at such a young age, surrounded by possible betrayals (some of which in the above did experience) and dangers cannot be good for your mental health and ability to be a more balanced ruler. You have to develop certain personality traits and defense mechanisms to survive.

Again, in my personal opinion, Remiel is a character that represents what every young man wished could be thrust upon them. A great purpose, requiring strength and determination. A calling which only he could answer.

That is Remiel, and he would wish it weren't so.

"According to the same sources, Gazanfer became first kapı ağası and, after his brother’s death, also has odabaşı. In this way he became one of the most powerful persons in the Ottoman Empire; he held his office for more than thirty years, under the eign of Selim II, Murad III and Mehmed III. He was also a patron of artists and writers such as the historian Mustafa Ali."— Maria Pia Pedani, Safiye’s Household and Venetian Diplomacy
