"Throughout history, hairdressing has been an intimate, almost ritualistic activity shared between women, whether in African braiding traditions, European court styles, or among women preparing for celebrations. The act of doing another woman’s hair binds them in a unique, nonverbal closeness." - Femininity, Susan Brownmiller (1984)

she had a lively, playful disposition that delighted in anything ridiculous.

Asporça Hatun, one of the early consorts of Orhan Ghazi and the confirmed mother of Ibrahim Bey, there’s a possibility that she could’ve been mother of Fatma Hatun too, but it’s heavily debated among historians.

She is generally believed to have been Of Greek origin, most likely a daughter of a Nobleman. But it was long believed that she was daughter of emperor Andronikos. This claim is most likely false as her name is not mentioned anywhere in the Byzantine Archives.

Asporça Hatun married Orhan Bey in the early 14th century. She was known for her devotion to charity and pious works, supporting the poor through endowments established in her name, which reflected her respected position within the dynasty.

In 1362, Orhan Ghazi died and his heir, Murad, took over the throne. Asporça and her son both were against this, and rebelled. Murad I found Ibrahim and executed him. Asporça strangely died in the same year too. She rests with her son in the tomb of Orhan Ghazi

Dumbest Plot Ever!

Nilüfer had the plague for about 3 episodes and then got strangled to death. In an episede where another person was stabbed to death. Why?

First it looked like she was going to die by the plague so I had already made my peace with her leaving the show. Then it looked like Valide was going get her killed. Then she was executed by strangulation. The most pointless death in the show.

I've been waiting for days for her to die so it wasn't even shocking. Different plots were waiting in line to kill a cariye for 3 episodes now.
