How is your favorite valide sultan out of the two shows? In order of preference?

Okay back on track after finally being able to open the acc. Sorry for being VERY late!

1-Valide Kosem sultan:-

Powerful, majestic, classy , savage ,while also affectionate and vulnerable. I love that we see all of that with her! In SO2 we saw both her evilness and also her vulnerability. I certainly love how she is reminiscent of the past but she knows she needs to put on a cold facade to face the future. She is what I wanted Valide sultanas to be , She bravely faces any situation she doesn’t run away or hide (ie:- when mu rat ran away). She had every right to want to rule instead of her sons, it is quite baffling to me people back then had a problem being ruled by a strong and smart woman BUT were fine with a young boy ruling over them! That’s a diff story tho.

2-Ayse Hafsa Valide sultan:-

While , Kosem is how I wanted every Valide sultan to be, Valide Hafsa is how the system wants Valide sultans to be. She is “ideal” for the system. A loving mother and a noble queen. She is basically SS’ conscience and his biggest supporter. Unlike Kosem, she doesn’t interfere in politics and solely solves the Harem problems. While she seems blinded at times with how she is always for Ibrahim and Mahidevran (even when they fuck up) she knows they are just as “bad” as Hurrem but they aren’t as strong or rule breakers as Hurrem thus she let then be but side eyed them.

3-Safiye Valide sultan:-

Unfortunately, we didn’t see much of her as a Valide sultan. It is clear after Mehmed III death, she is only desiring power. Nothing is inherently wrong with desiring power, but the period she is showcased in is at times where she got only few things left. As a character, overall I love her but I as a valide sultan she was corrupted.

4-Halime sultan:-

We didn’t see much of her being Valide, it wasn’t showcased properly. I certainly believe if Mustafa was sane, her period would’ve been great. While, she enjoyed the luxury of being valide (like anyone would) she did try to fulfill her duties and to help mustafa ,however, luck wasn’t on her side at all. I honestly love her character, she is very consistent and it is quite fascinating how she never gave up. She would be the most powerful in another world if Mustafa and Dilruba weren’t her children.

5-Handan Valide sultan:-

This is case of writers screwing up a character so bad. She is portrayed as this pathetic cry baby woman. Much like Halime, luck wasn’t on Handan’s side either. Handan couldn’t assert dominance because of Safiye’s presence and because of how Ahmed wanted to minimize her power. Safiye is gone, Ahmed is ridiculously putting Kosem over and she can’t do anything about it. As a mother she definitely loved Ahmed so much , the writers managed to write her in the worst way possible.

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.

Hi I wanted to make a request for some headcanons about reader with a yandere Murad 4. So reader is a quiet girl in the harem and doesn't really care for riches and politics. She just enjoys poetry and singing mostly alone because she's shy.

Thanks for this nice request. Please feel free to ask for more. I hope you will like it.

~ You were taken into the harem when you were eleven. You were a girl from a noble family who was kidnapped in a raid.

~ In the harem, journeymen and aghas loved you the most. You were a self-made girl who didn't cause any trouble. You have never participated in other girls ambitions and fights.

~ At the moments when Ayşe Sultan was imprisoned in her rooms and Farya Sultan was looking for solutions to get pregnant, Sultan Murad felt very overwhelmed.

~ These two women in his life were supposed to bring him happiness, peace and joy. But both failed to do so.

~ While he was wandering around the garden, a song stopped him. It was as if the voice belonged to an angel. Meanwhile, you were singing a song while picking flowers in Hasbahçe.

~ When you turned your back and saw Sultan Murad in front of you, you were surprised what to do. You were frozen in place, frightening.

~ Sultan Murad left after learning your name. Shortly after returning to the palace, Valide Sultan invited you to her room.

~ Valide Kösem Sultan smiled at you. She said that her son Murad called you to the seclusion tonight. If you were lucky, you would be the Sultan who would give birth to sons to the Sultan.

~ When you suddenly started crying like a child, Valide Sultan was surprised. When you threw yourself at her feet, Valide Sultan was confused about what to do. She got you up and asked the reason for this move.

~ When you said you didn't want to be popular, Valide Sultan thought of her own youth. Valide Sultan consoled you and said that you were under her protection now.

~ You have passed the golden road prepared for the evening. When you got to the room, it felt like your heart was going to burst out of your chest. You approached Sultan Murad and stood with your head fixed on the ground. Sultan Murad held your chin and gently lifted your face towards him.

~ A warmth spread throughout your body as he placed a kiss on your lips. Sultan had you sit at the table prepared for dinner. You started chatting after dinner. Even though you were shy at first, you started to open up.

~ After reading a few songs, Sultan Murad went to bed with you. Sultan Murad smiled slightly when you told your fears and placed a kiss on your forehead. He promised that no one could harm you. That evening was full of lust and love for the two of you. When tomorrow comes, you had a nice breakfast with Sultan Murad.

~ Sultan Murad began to invite you to the seclusion the most. Only once did Farya Sultan try to attack you. Whatever Sultan Murad did, he did not dare to approach you again. It turned out that you were pregnant after Ayşe Sultan and her children died. A few weeks later, Sultan Murad Farya learned what the Sultan had done and had him executed.

~ Months later, you had your healthy twin sons in your arms. You have given birth to many healthy children over the years. Sultan Murad did not hesitate to meet all your material and moral needs. There was nothing he couldn't do to protect you and your children. You succeeded to write your name in history as Sultan Murad's favorite woman.

~ Beloved wife of Sultan Murad. You have earned a place in history as a gazelle-eyed Hasekisi.

I don't know if it was intentional but Safiye gifting Kösem to Ahmed parallels Mihrimah gifting Safiye to Murad. Both mostly did it to undermine the control of the Valide Sultan over her son via their partners but under the pretense of wanting to make their grandson or nephew happy.

Turhan Sultan (c. 1627 – 4 August 1683; Turhan meaning "Mercy" or "Noble") was 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 her mother-in-law, 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.
