Ottomans. History of the Great Empire
14.99 €
The Ottoman Empire is one of the most powerful and great powers. For six centuries, the Osman family did the impossible, and from a small beylik grew a huge and influential state. Representatives of the Osman family made a huge contribution and left a trace in history, not only with their successes and conquests, but also with palace intrigues, conspiracies and bloodshed among brothers.
Where did the tradition of executing other pretenders to the Ottoman throne come from? Which of the sultans had about a hundred children? Is it true that Suleiman the Magnificent liked to make shoes? What a simple slave girl was able to conquer the great sultan of the Ottoman Empire? Why in Europe Hürrem Sultan was nicknamed Roksolana? Why was Mehmed I's death reported only 41 days later? Why was the position of grand vizier highly undesirable during the reign of Selim the Terrible? Why did officials condemned to death have to run through all the palace gardens all the way to their gates? The entire history of the Osman dynasty and the Great Ottoman Empire from its emergence to its apogee and the beginning of its collapse.
