== Biography ==
Hurrem (then Alexandra (or Anastasia, depending on the translation)), is going to marry her fiancé, the artist Leo. But she is kidnapped by the Tatars. Her relatives are killed. On the ship she fights with corsairs. Already in the Sultan's palace, she is constantly rude to everyone - from the servants to the Sultan's mother. However, the Sultan himself falls in love with her and pays a lot of attention to her, which causes the indignation of the Sultan’s main concubine named Mahidevran. She steals the ring given to Hurrem by the Sultan. Later, Mahidevran becomes pregnant, but loses the child. She blames Hurrem for this and beats her almost to death. The Sultan finds out about what happened. He is terribly angry with Mahidevran, which he tells his mother and Ibrahim about. He personally cures Hurrem. Later, the Sultan goes on a campaign, and at this time his mother wants to marry Hurrem, but she lies that she is pregnant. Soon, however, her pregnancy is confirmed. After the arrival of the Sultan, Mahidevran tries to poison Hurrem, but she fails. Ibrahim also sends Hurrem’s friend Maria to the Sultan, and Hurrem quarrels with her friend and even poisons her. The Sultan's mother takes away her children from Hurrem for a far-fetched reason. Later, someone kills one of the concubines named Aishe. Hurrem previously had constant conflicts with the deceased, so everyone suspects her. Hurrem is sent into exile. But soon her innocence is confirmed (although Ibrahim blackmails her into apologizing to Makhidevran). Soon the killer appears in the harem again - this time in the chambers of Hurrem herself. Maria becomes the victim of the attack. When the maid Mahidevran Gulshah also ends up in the hospital, Hurrem suspects something is wrong. But it’s still not possible to find out anything about her. At the same time, she begins to communicate with her ex-fiancé Leo. She asks him to leave, but he cannot. Soon he is kidnapped by Ibrahim. He demands that Hurrem eat the poisoned Turkish delight or give it to Leo, otherwise he will accuse her of treason against the Sultan. Leo eats the poison and dies. Hurrem vows revenge. Soon she learns about a certain woman living in the Sultan's hunting lodge. She believes that it is Ibrahim who is cheating on Hatice, but it turns out that the Sultan is visiting this woman. This woman turns out to be Princess Isabella. Hurrem constantly conflicts with her. Ibrahim takes advantage of this and orders Nigar to poison the princess and frame Hurrem. But Hurrem orders to cover his tracks. Having learned that the princess is alive, she goes to the laundry, where her servants hide the tied up princess and the corpse of her maid. She orders the servants to get rid of the princess and the last obscurity disappears from the harem. As punishment, the Sultan's mother takes away Hurrem's devoted servants, orders to kill first Hurrem's horse, then her maid, then tries to blackmail Hurrem with her alleged connection with Leo. But Hurrem takes action. She wants to marry the Sultan. His mother makes an attempt on her life. Bali Bey saves Hurrem. The Sultan marries Hurrem. During the Sultan's next military campaign, his mother organizes a revolt of the concubines against Hurrem. But Hurrem is saved again. Soon the Sultan faints and his mother, realizing that Hurrem is actually loyal to the Sultan, takes her side. But soon the Sultan’s mother dies and control of the harem is given to Mahidevran. However, she soon makes a serious mistake and (not without Hurrem’s dirty play) the Sultan takes away the position of harem manager from Mahidevran and entrusts the harem to Hurrem. Soon, Hatice begins to quarrel with Hurrem due to the fact that the latter revealed Ibrahim’s adultery to her. She even sends another girl to the Sultan. However, it soon turns out that the girl is from the Safavid dynasty, longtime enemies of the Ottoman dynasty. After some time, the Sultan executes Ibrahim. Hatice blames the Sultan and Hurrem for what happened and, with the help of her sister Shah, weaves intrigues against Hurrem. Soon Hatice is kidnapps Hürrem and commits suicide. At this time, Mahidevran kills her eldest son Mehmet. Hurrem returns and in revenge for a long time weaves intrigues against Mahidevran's son Mustafa. Mustafa is eventually executed by the Sultan. Soon another son of Hurrem, Cihangir, dies. Hurrem is trying to protect his remaining sons from hostility. However, she soon dies herself. After her death, her son Selim kills his brother Bayezid.
== Personality ==
Hurrem Sultan can be called smart and cunning. But at the same time she is honest and loyal to the Sultan to the end. This is precisely why Suleiman once fell in love with her. Hurrem can also be called a loving mother, as she does everything possible for the benefit of her children. On the other hand, she isn't above committing acts, that are morally questionable, like framing Mustafa.
