In this gripping video, we delve into one of the most harrowing episodes of the Ottoman Empire. On January 19, 1595, a night of unprecedented brutality unfolded within the walls of the imperial palace. The Sultan, in a chilling display of absolute power, ordered the execution of his male children, one by one. Using delicate silk cords for strangulation, each execution was a grim testament to the ruthlessness of the era. As these dark events transpired, Sultana Safiye, the Sultan's consort, remained eerily detached. Seated quietly in her private quarters, she sipped coffee with an unsettling calmness. Her eyes, cold and calculating, and her lifeless expression, conveyed a chilling contrast to the chaos unfolding just beyond her walls. This video explores the bloodshed of that fateful night and provides a stark look at the internal politics and personal dynamics that led to such a catastrophic decision. Join us as we uncover the grim details and unravel the story behind this dark chapter in Ottoman history.
