Nurbanu Sultan: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

== Time as consort ==-->

<!--Nurbanu became the most favored consort of [[Ottoman Sultan]] [[Selim II]], who was put on the throne in 1566, and the mother of [[Murad III]]. She had been the head of his princely harem, however, when he became sultan, she was not head of the imperial harem, as that was a position taken by Selim's elder sister, the acting Valide Sultan, [[Mihrimah Sultan]]. Even after Selim began to take other concubines, she persisted as a favorite for her beauty and intelligence. As mother of the heir-apparent, she acted as an advisor to her husband. Although it was far from normal at the time, Selim II would often ask Nurbanu for her advice on various subjects because of his respect for her good judgment. Jacopo Soranzo, Venetian Ambassador reported: {{bq|text= "The Haseki is said to be extremely well loved and honored by His Majesty both for her great beauty and for being unusually intelligent."{{sfn|Peirce|1993|p=[{{google books|id=L6-VRgVzRcUC|page=228|plainurl=yes}} 228]}}}} She was a devoted wife and a very loyal mother as later events would prove. The Ottoman Empire was far from being very stable at the top and clashes over the imperial throne were common. It was also not uncommon for the loser to have his entire family massacred along with him to prevent any future challenge. Nurbanu Sultan was determined, however, that when the time came for her son to succeed his father, nothing would interfere with that.

 

=== Charitable establishments and philanthrophy ===

During her nine years of regency, Nurbanu ordered the renowned Ottoman architect [[Mimar Sinan]] to build the [[Atik Valide Mosque]] and its surrounding [[külliye]] at the district of [[Üsküdar]] in [[Istanbul]], where previously a "Jewish bath" was located. The construction of the külliye was completed and put in commission at the end of 1583, just before the demise of Nurbanu on 7 December 1583. She was buried at the [[mausoleum]] of her husband [[Selim II]] located inside the [[Hagia Sophia]] (then a mosque) at [[Sultanahmet, Fatih|Sultanahmet]] in [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]].-->
