tells about the life of this remarkable woman is not easy.After all, a lot of contradictory facts contain her biography.Roksolana was born in the small town of Rohatyn, which is in Western Ukraine.Since at that time (about 1506) the territory of modern Ivano-Frankivsk region was captured by the Poles, Roksolana often referred to polka.According to the official data, it was a Ukrainian by nationality.
about her real name is also being heated debate.The sources of the XVI century there is no reliable data.But later there was a tradition to call her Anastasia.Historians tend to believe that her polka, called this famous woman Alexandra.In the most popular version of Anastasia was a daughter of the priest Gavrila Lisowski.
Around 1520 Woman captured Tatars.Then she was transferred to the Crimea, the city of Kaffa (now Feodosia), and thence came to Istanbul.In the Turkish capital, it spotted the Vizier Ibrahim Pasha, who gave it to Suleiman I. In this moment and begins its majestic biography.Roksolana was the love of life of the Sultan.
Once the palace concubine usual, the girl was able to very quickly captivate ruler.There are reports that Suleiman even dedicated poems to her.In the harem of a good sense of humor and booming laughter Roksolana was nicknamed Hurra, meaning "fun."
After the wedding and Khurram sultan can with certainty say that quite differently began to develop her biography.Roksolana has now become an influential person in the Ottoman Empire, because it was considered the main wife of Suleiman.Prior to that, the sultans never tied the knot.To marry a Ukrainian had to convert to Islam.
In addition to its visual appeal, Roksolana was very wise and educated.She is well versed in the art and politics, often personally foreign rulers.When the couple parted, they corresponded beautiful verses in Arabic and Persian languages.
lot of dark spots conceals her biography.Roksolana, according to one version, was able to set up her husband against his son of the third wife of Mustafa.One way or another, but there is good evidence that on the orders of Sultan Mustafa was strangled.
The couple had five children - four sons and a daughter.However, because of Suleiman the Magnificent's sons survived only one - Selim.All others were killed in a bloody struggle for the throne.
said that even the Sultan's mother was shocked by the brutal methods by which won itself the power Roksolana.Biography of this amazing woman indicates that she feared and outside the palace.Hundreds of people disliked it quickly died in the hands of the executioners.
