Alexandra Larosa also known as Hurrem Sultan. She was the first Haseki Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. She was the legal wife of Suleiman the Magnificent. She was the most influential woman in Ottoman History.
Relationship With Suleiman
Hürrem's unprecedented rise from harem slave to Suleiman's legal wife attracted jealousy and disfavor not only from her rivals in the harem, but also from the general populace. She soon became Suleiman's most prominent consort beside Mahidevran (also known as Gülbahar), and their relationship was monogamous.
Issue
Suleiman and Hurrem had 5 Children-
- Mehmed
- Mihrimah
- Selim
- Bayezid
- Cihangir
Death and Burial
Hürrem died on 15 April 1558 due to an unknown illness. In the last years of her life she was in very poor health. It is said that the Sultan, in order not to disturb the peace of his wife during the course of her illness, ordered all the musical instruments in the palace to be burned.
