	Suleyman the Lucky -- Geng Chen
		Roxelana, a Russian slave girl, charmed Suleyman into granting her freedom and rose to the unprecedented status of legal wife.
		Her "feminine guile prompted Suleiman to kill two of his sons and to leave the throne to the least deserving of the survivors" (Vicinich 19).
		Roxelana's position, however, would collapse if Suleyman was succeeded by another woman's child; so, she "[played] on the suspicious side of the Sultan's nature, [stirred] in him a latent jealousy of Mustafa's ambitions, [sowed] in his mind the idea that his son had designs on the sultanate" (Kinross 238).

		In anticipation of Suleiman's death, in 1559 his sons by Roxelana, Selim and Bayezid, engaged in a series of battles for the succession, in part, due to the Ottoman practice of fratricide of rival successors, in which one of the two would be ordered strangled.
		Suleiman and Roxelana are buried in separate domed mausoleums attached to the mosque.

		Roxelana manipulated her husband, his sons, and the court with sometimes fatal results.
		Roxelana orchestrated events culminating in the murder of Süleyman's favorite sons, Mustafa and Bayezid, thus clearing the path of ascension for her utterly incompetent son, Selim II.
		And taking a page from Roxelana's book, members of the harem (that is, mothers of prospective heirs) exerted more and more control over the workings of the government; this culminated in the mid-17th century with an era recognized as "The Sultanate of Women."
