:previous:Thanks a lot :flowers: They look so sweet and all look excited for the upcoming wedding :smile:

Who is the blond lady next to them ? http://images.newmedia.lu/rtl.lu/cms/imagegallery/2012/10/19/11841//1024//a2df4395c4bfabf8121acd7eeb8bf178.jpg

I was traveling i couldn't check the forum but I'm back :smile: These protests were very understandable but passed after people watched the series first part. It generally focuses on Harem and especially on Hurrem. I can say it's all about the Harem side of the Ottoman Empire. Hatice or...

:previous: Hi :smile: In Turkey some people protested the serie because it is focusing on the Harem life not on the victories of Suleyman. Suleyman was one of the most successful Padishahs in Ottoman Empire history. They didn't think it was fair to underestimate his success by focusing on Harem...

Another video Homenaje a los caidos

You're welcome & thanks :flowers: Well that seperation thing is religious, women were being seperated from men according to Islamic laws. Today it's not an applicable law/custom but at old times it was the only way to engage or to wed couples.

Hi :smile: It's an accurate hearsay and it was an act to protect the Empire. It prevented wars between sons and eventually a civil war but it was not particularly the first son killed the others. The minor brother could kill the first heir. It depended on his power. It wasn't like this in the...

fandesacs2003 I've found something for you and I'm sure you will enjoy watching it. Via this link you can watch the Hürrem's Turkish bath that Suleyman built for Hürrem, not with his bare hands of course he ordered the construction :lol: Mimar Sinan is the architect of the building and it...

Anytime :flowers: Yes it was a crowded place, concubines, members of family, eunuches, cooks and staff... During Ottoman Empire period these rules and customs are generally followed but in such exceptional periods, like Hürrem's period, some rules were broken. You will watch them on the serie...

Hi :smile: First of al Caliph is a religious title and on 3 May 1934 this title is abrogated. Caliph was equivalent of Pope, but for Muslims of course and Ottoman dynasty held this title during 1934. At the present day there is no Caliph. Chalvet (halvet in Turkish) literally means solitude but...

Wow, must be so upsetting to oneself's photos on papers like that. I feel sorry for her :( She was on a private estate and on a private holiday, it's clearly invasion of privacy but Kate is a public figure and I think she should have considered the possible presence of paparazzis. I'm sure she...

Oh translating the style of a Padishah can be veeeery tricky. For translation of a serie one may translate as excellency or highness but in Ottoman Empire others call him as Sultanım (my Sultan), Hünkarım (my sovereign), Haşmetmeap (his royal highness). Sultan is the most common style...

It's Mahidevran :smile: Mahidevran will be punished several times but it's hard to disgrace a Hasike, she is powerfull and important as being the mother of an heir. Eventually she will destroy herself, of course with a little help of Hürrem. Hard to oppose Hürrem anyway :smile:

:previous: Hahahahaaa :lol: You are absolutely right, it takes years to understand all :lol:

Hi :flowers: Suleyman is touched because she chooses to be a muslim, but being muslim is not the sign of freedom. Padishah needs to set her free because she is still a concubin. The thing is after being muslim she can not be with him without being married religiously. This is the trick. Lots of...
