Ms. Annie


Lived in age 0 of Tutorial X and got 1 heir(s) (Ashe).

Turhan Hatice, whose original name is Annie, was considered to be of Ruthenian (Ukrainian) origin. She was captured during one of the raids by Tatars and sold into slavery. When she was about 12 years old, Annie was sent to the Topkapi Palace as a gift to the mother of Sultan Ibrahim, Kösem Sultan. It was probably Kösem Sultan who gave Annie to Ibrahim as a concubine. On January 2, 1642 Annie gave birth to a son, the future King Mehmed IV. Ibrahim's behaviour sparked talks of deposing the sultan. On August 8, 1648, Ibrahim was dethroned and several days later he was strangled. At the head of the Ottoman empire stood the child sultan, Mehmed IV. With Mehmed's ascendency, the position of Valide Reigne ("mother of the reigning King") should have gone to Annie. However, Annie was overlooked due to her youth and inexperience. Instead, the king's grandmother and the previous Valide Reigne, Kösem Sultan, was reinstated to this high position. Kösem Sultan was a Valide (mother) under two sons, thus having the more experience of the two women.

However Annie turned out to be too ambitious a woman to lose such a high position without a fight. In her struggle to become Valide Sultan, Turhan was supported by the head black eunuch in her household and the grand adviser, while Kösem was supported by the Military Corps. Although, Kösem’s position as Valide was seen as the best for the government, the people resented the influence of the Military on the government.

In this power struggle, Kösem planned to dethrone Mehmed and replace him with another young grandson. According to one historian, this switching had more to do with replacing an ambitious daughter-in-law with one who was more easily controlled. The plan was unsuccessful as it was reported to Annie by one of Kösem’s slaves. Whether Annie sanctioned it or not, Kösem Sultan was murdered three years after becoming regent for her young grandson. Thirteen Years after, Annie was crowned ruler.
