Speaking about the Turkish harem, you can submit a separate housing for the beautiful concubines, which are waiting for their happy hour. But not all so is simple, as it seems at first glance. In harems during the reign of Sultan Bayezid II, Selim I and Suleiman I the harems are the following stages of the authorities to its inhabitants.
Walid-Sultan was the mother of the Sultan and had a very large power. Without her permission not have been possible any case and reshuffling within the harem. She had such a strong impact that could compete with any of the Empress. Next in rank is Hazendar-mouth or otherwise great matron. She was close Walid and the housekeeper. Then Bach-Kadina this is the first wife of a Sultan and the second, third and fourth kadin. All of the Sultan (they can be to have up to four) had separate apartments and servants. As a rule, the wife of the Sultan had a room on a higher floor than the simple slaves and servants. Also took place in the Sultan's harem Sultana or otherwise cats, as well as simple slaves, waiting for its happy hour. Kalfa were slaves or concubines with a lot of experience and knowledge, which, as a rule, presided over a certain state of workers and followed the order in the harem. In the series a Magnificent Century can be noted such hierarchy and give some examples:

Of course, the series should not be taken as absolute historical source, the more, the hierarchy in the harem changed frequently during the reign of various sultans.
Yet this stage of power was quite attractive and each slave by intrigues tried to achieve the greatest possible favor of the Sultan, and thereby obtain an excellent chance to rise.
