Haseki Hürrem Sultan (Ottoman Turkish:1506 - 17 April 1558 at Topkapı Palace). Suleiman the Magnificent was infatuated with Hürrem Sultan, a harem girl who become Suleiman's favorite. Breaking with two centuries of Ottoman tradition, a former concubine had thus become the legal wife of the Sultan, much to the astonishment of observers in the palace and the city. Sultan Suleiman also allowed Hürrem Sultan to remain with him at palace for the rest of her life, breaking another tradition.
