Suleyman I the Magnificent





His
reign began in 1520th with the death of his father Selim I. It lasted 46 years
until 1566., when he was killed at the Battle of Siget.

He  expanded the empire on three continents.
Talented in military strategy, law, poetry, and was very much in love with his
wife
Hürrem.

Decision to marry Hürrem ignored the tradition and gave her freedom, which
eventually would be fatal for him in many ways. Hürrem in his life has brought
destruction, intrigue and death.
