View show details

In the turbulent years after Kösem Sultan's assassination, a young Ukrainian-born consort named Turhan Hatice Sultan took the reins of the Ottoman Empire. This episode explores how she navigated the Janissary revolts, the Harem's shifting alliances, and her role as Valide Sultan for her six-year-old son Mehmed IV. We discuss her decision to hand power to the Köprülü grand viziers, her sponsorship of the Yeni Cami mosque complex in Eminönü, and how her legacy shaped the Sultanate of Women's final chapter. Featuring details on the 1656 Çınar Incident, the rise of Köprülü Mehmed Pasha, and the architectural patronage that made Turhan one of the most visible valide sultans. #TurhanSultan #ValideSultan #OttomanEmpire #KösemSultan #MehmedIV #KöprülüMehmedPasha #SultanateOfWomen #ÇınarIncident #YeniCami #Eminönü #Janissary #Harem #TopkapıPalace #SeventeenthCentury #History #FexingoHistory #OttomanHistory #WomenInHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
