“I’ve been reading a lot about the Sultanate of women and Hürrem in particular, so was interested to listen to the episodes on this. But a lot of assumptions or rumors were presented as fact, from concubines former names to Ibrahim Pasha supposedly being married to the Sultan’s sister. Names were mispronounced (it’s Cihangir, not Cihangish) and some family relations were mixed up (Osman was Ahmed’s son, not his half brother’s).
Otherwise entertaining, but if historians are unsure then it shouldn’t be presented as fact.”
