#-#Ahmed I married a fifteen year old beautiful Greek slave girl who would prove a very mixed
blessing to the people of the Ottoman Empire. Kösem Sultana ruled her husband as she would rule no less than
four of his successors--with an iron grip. Kösem was the real power behind the throne, and although she was a
very able ruler, she was not a very popular one.

#-#Kösem had enjoyed the longest reign of any of the harem women, almost half a century. Under the
reign of Mehmed IV, she was still meddling in high politics. She probably attempted to have her grandson
Mehmed IV killed, but was herself strangled by men in the entourage of her daughter-in-law, Turhan Sultan.
Although the old conniving witch was hardly missed by most, she still had loyal supporters among the
Janissaries, who were outraged by her murder.
