Ayse Hafsa Sultan - wife of Sultan Selim the terrible

Ayse Hafsa Sultan was the first wife of Sultan Selim the terrible and the mother of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. In the period from 1520 to 1534, was the second person of the state after his son Suleiman and bore the title of Walid. Still, it is not clear whether she was the daughter of the Crimean Khan Mengli-Giray or the second wife of the Sultan of Aisha-Khatun. It is Ayse Hafsa is the founder of the festival in Manis, which continue to this day. She was the first wife of the Sultan, which received the title of Walid. Before that such privileges for the wives of the sultans was not provided. All she had three daughters (as the historical sources): Fatima, Hatije and Bahan, as well as the son of Suleyman.

In the series a Magnificent Century in great detail handed over to the image of sultanesses. The authoritarian and strict compliance with all harem statutes. The fight with his wife Hjurrem for influence over his son Suleiman lasted quite long and hard. In principle this is not surprising, since in the present time, very often, is the struggle between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Especially if the influence of the daughter-in-law considerably exceeds the influence of the mother. So it was from time immemorial and will continue. Peaceful co-existence of the two women under one roof (daughter-in-law and mother-in-law) rather the exception than the rule.
