Sultan Suleiman from The Magnificent Century really disbanded his harem. They write on the Web that everything is to blame – boundless love and loyalty to Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska. But this is not true.
The red-haired beast was indeed the main woman in the life of the padishah, but not the only one. No matter how strong their love was, but the harem was not supposed to exist. These are the traditions of the dynasty, and it was impossible to challenge them.
But in 1540 there was a terrible fire in the harem. The old palace fell into complete disrepair. And Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska had to move to Topkani.

The new palace of the padishah was not originally designed to accommodate such a large number of people. And it was then that the question arose of what to do with the concubines.
The most beautiful were given in marriage to local pashas. The rest were sent free. The girls were paid a small salary. They could either return to their homeland or find another job.
