danggit, ekrem!!! THAT caught me within the first 15 minutes! And I was fixing to TRY to go to sleep. Guess I wont now. Sheesh.
I didnt catch most of which sultan. Sulieman the Magnificent?
I get them mixed up. Selim actually married an english woman. Their sun was Suleiman the Magnificent. But what throws me off is SELIM is the one that did master jewelry making...not Suleiman. Unless he picked it up from his father and carried it on.
Anyway....Im hooked. Its on pause now.
Off to watch the rest of it..then Ill see where the heck the rest of the epis are for tomorrow. Hell, maybe even a few more tonight.
I cant find part two!

No. Sultan Selim is already dead, you don't see him. He is just referenced 2-3 times.
He was Sultan and father of Prince Suleyman. His wife is still in the plot, Sultana Valide (Mother-Sultan). It's the woman who carries the hair-jewels.
The Mother Sultan is the absolute BOSS in the Harem. And the Harem is not a whorehouse, but where the Sultan actually lives.
The other man on Suleyman's side is his best friend the Christian-convert Theo of Parga (Ibrahim Pasha), who will become Grand Vizier of Empire and who has a secret love-story with Princess Hatice, the sister of Suleiman.
He is also the greatest hindrance to Roxelana's rise to power as Ibrahim Pasha has a pact with Sultana Mahidevran, the woman who gave birth to Suleyman's 1st son, Prince Mustapha.
The Sultans didn't marry to women, women only functioned to produce male heirs and once they gave birth to a male their status increased in the hierarchy.
Roxelana will become 1st woman married by a Sultan in the history.
It's all historically accurate.
It's a fantastic plot. And in first 3-4 episodes it mainly centers around the Harem, giving insight on the personalities and how they stand to each other and how they intrigue against each other.
Later the plot widens dramatically to venues outside of Harem.
