Safe's extraordinary story - the girl from Dukagini who became a sultan and ruled the world

Historical material that has been highly received by Albanians has highlighted the women's great role in the Ottoman Empire.

The Albanians managed to become Sultanesses, and thus have a major impact on this empire.

Safiye's story was a little fabulous, as was the fate of many Albanians during the time of its prosperity.

She was born in 1550 in the mountainous area of Dukagjin in the village of Rez. It was Albanian, and it would enter history like Sultan Valide.

Her husband was Sultan Murati III and had three children: Sultan Mehmet, Sultan Ayseen and Sultan Fatman.

The story of her fall into the hands of the sultan was very adventures.

She was captured by pirates in 1563, at the age of 13, and showed up as a slave entering the sulltan harem. He became the Concubine of Murat, and in 1566 his son will be born to history as Sultan Mehmet III.
Safi had a monogamous relationship with the Mrat for several years. With her mother's advice, since she had only one offspring, she advised her to take other women.

As is often the case in the courtyards of Sultan and Sultan Sefieni, she used witches and magicians to bind the sultan to herself.

Historical facts show that she could keep the sultan alone, but that was not allowed by the laws of the time. Murati received two more women, who gave her 20 boys and 27 girls.
According to Venetian historical sources, the sultan was greatly disturbed. She loved the sultan and was jealous of him. But then she accepted the fact, and in time she became his most trusted adviser. This was especially true after her mother - in - law died.

Sultan Sapine is shown as a woman with a very strong temper and extraordinary intelligence.

So great was its impact that when Sultan went on expeditions all the country's most important issues from political to economic were all in her hands.

Their history had a life span to covet. She stayed close to him for the last few moments of her life.
