The movie "Mahpaker." Kosem Sultan (Mahpeyker – Kösem Sultan) is the story of one of the most famous women rulers in the history of the Ottoman Empire. Kosem Sultan, or Mahpeiker, was the wife of Sultan Ahmed I. In the first half of the 17th century, this woman, first being the wife of the sultan, and then in the rank of Valide Sultan (Queen Mother), actually ruled the empire, standing first behind her sons Murad IV (1623-1640) and Ibrahim I (1640-1648) and then ruling on behalf of the minor grandson Mehmed IV.
And it all began as it often happened in those days – a modest girl Anastasia, the daughter of a Greek priest, was sold into slavery, and at the age of fifteen was in the harem of Sultan Ahmed. Here she was given a new name – Mahpaker. close
