not a princess, a sultana

Magnificent January 2026 + Week  1: Firsts Hürrem Sultan's 1st Son

Everything we know about Roxelana suggests she was a person of determination and self-control, but she could certainly be forgiven any turbulent emotions in the aftermath of Mehmed’s birth. Relief and happiness that she and the child had emerged from the epidemic healthy were natural. Moreover, Roxelana had rapidly accomplished her purpose—producing a child for the dynasty. In turn, Mehmed garnered for her what she presumably desired—a secure position within the royal household. The slave girl who had lost her natal family now had a new one: through her son she now had blood ties to his father and grandmother. Mehmed’s birth introduced a legal shift in Roxelana’s status. Islamic law recognized and protected the concubine’s role as mother: unlike an ordinary slave, she could not be sold or given away, and she would automatically be freed upon the death of her master. Her new status under the law as umm al-walad (mother of a child) signaled these rights and her identity. — Empress of the East: How a European Slave Girl Became Queen of the Ottoman Empire, Leslie Peirce
