Whatever Mahdervan got from Sultan Selim was only because Sultana Hurrem had asked him to do so.

Ottomans fail to qualify as a turkic kingdom, because they don't have traditional elements of previous turkic empires. Ottomans reflect more Persian and Arabic elements.

No one ever called themselves Byzantine. It's a Habsburg propaganda. There are so many mistakes in this video, it is very ignorant.

The idea of a "Western" Roman Empire and a "Eastern" Roman Empire is a misnomer born from modern historiographical terminology. The Empire was never split in two. The administration was made into four emperors with a senior emperor, usually in the East, over all. It was still one empire. There was never a Byzantine Empire. "Byzantine" is a derogatory term used by 18th century German scholars in an attempt to legitimize the Holy Roman Empire. The "Byzantine" Empire was the Roman Empire. The same Empire that murdered Jesus Christ, that suffered from the gothic invaders, that endured the crisis of the 3rd century, was the empire that fell in 1453. It was not the successor to the Roman Empire. It was the Roman Empire. The last Roman Emperor died 571 years ago today. His name was Constantine XI.

Longest ruling, not serving. He was far from being a servant of his state.

Nicely done

Very interesting subject, well covered

Very well put. Thank you.

It is not "succession" but a certain definitive TITLE, namely - "Imperator Romanorum" (Latin)/"Basileus Romaion" (Greek)/"Kaiseri ar-Rum" (Arabic and in German similar - "Roman Kaiser"). Since 4 century A.D. capital city of Empire, place of Roman Senate and seat of Roman Emperor was "Roma Nova" / Constantinople. After Ottomans eventually crushed Roman Empire you can think that Sultan's claim to title of Roman Emperor is debatable - but IT IS NOT, I will explain why: 1. It was the Patriarch who offically annointed new Emperor and since fall of Constantinople Orthodox Patriarch always recognized Sultans as Roman Emperors. 2. There was since Charlemagne/Karl the Great another Emperor, and it was the source of great rivalry between German speaking Holy Roman Emperors and Greek speeking Roman Emperors, Basileus Romaion. THEN, Holy Roman Emperor, the only another claim to title - officially gave up his claim to be Emperor, and officially recognized Suleyman the Magnificent as the ONLY Roman Emperor - treaty was signed by ex-Emperor himself and Great Vizier - as equal to his diplomatic rank. So even if there was little room not to recognize Muhammad Fatih (Mehmed the Conqueror), but since Suleyman topic become undebatable

Even our Samrat Chandra Gupta Maurya the Great(The Founder of the Great Mauryan Empire of the Indian subcontinent)was also claimed to be one of the successors of Macedonian King Alexander III the Great just like the Ottoman Empire's claim to the Roman succession🇮🇳🇬🇷🇲🇰🇹🇷🇮🇹!

Valahia si Moldavia sunt impreuna, Romania. Ca sa se stie cine le_a bath it fundul, otomanilor.

Mustafa was the best by far. And Mahidevran was an extremely intelligent, kind, beautiful woman who would have made a great Valide Sultan.

it would have been interesting after James the 5 of Scotland first wife died he decided to marry Mihrimah Sultan for a year in 1538 they have a daughter but then he is forced to annulled the marriage his daughter and Mihrimah Sultan leave Scotland and go back to Turkey and James the 5 marries Marie de guise and have Mary queen of Scots and Mihrimah Sultan remarried to Rüstem Pasha and everything goes as how history follows today and she has two kids with him in Turkey so she would have three children one daughter with James the 5 and the other two children one daughter and one son from Rustem Pasha but it couldn’t happen since she was none white but they both have a similar personality I could see them as a good couple don’t think Henry the 8 would be happy with the title of six wives lol

ISTANBUL, not constantinople

Selim started the down fall of OTTOMAN Empire.

Great helm

My favorite is the Armet, but I'd go with the Close Helm or the Frogmouth Helm.

Demekki o zamanlarda tek cocuk sahibi olmak daha karli

Sadly it started from Sulieman himself. He killed his son Masfata. Sultan was a greedy man for Power, law maker... Over drive for sex.. he loved watching the Sultanas fighting over him

Suleiman the murderer of his own capable smart children just to please a red haired woman of the west Muslim rulers have always been stupid to not understand that west always used women to destroy Muslim empire bcas they know about stories if 72 hurs tbs unlimited sexual desires of Muslim men

Suleyman the ultimate simp

Pretty pathetic that the last one standing could barely stand vertical, with all the booze and screwing he did. All that greatness evaporated.

Shazada Mehmet❤

Next please do a video about the sons of Ottoman sultan İbrahim the mad(Sultan Mehmed IV of Ottoman Empire,Sultan Süleyman II of Ottoman Empire,and Sultan Ahmed II of Ottoman Empire)🇹🇷?

All from the series….

How do you pick up your subjects? This is so interesting. Never heard of it!

As an American this makes me very sad that he considered escaping to America. I feel like if he had been able to do that he might have lived longer. Until recently I never knew just how great Napoleon was. Once when I was a teenager I heard him referred to as the greatest general who ever lived. Thought it was probably an overstatement at the time. Anyways, a man like him was sure to die after being confined to an island in the middle of the ocean. In America he might have occupied a place in our armed forces second only to commander in chief. He might have went on to be like a Douglas MacArthur of his time or something in that respect. Or he probably could have retired from commanding and entered politics or something, achieving moderate success and finding contentment in it, being the kind of man he was. I think he understood that he could never become any kind of life long ruler in the U.S.A., and the fact that he considered escaping here shows a great deal about his character. Most men of his caliber, which there haven't been very many of throughout history, would never have been able to move on to a "lesser role" after having achieved so much. Maybe that's just my thinking though and I've actually got it backwards.

Very interesting ❤

Never heard of that book before. The fact that nobody could have cracked its language is amazing. AI might help hopefully. Thank you for the episode.
