The hero of the “Magnificent Age” is not what it seems.
The stubborn shehzade Selim in the TV series “The Magnificent Age” drank the blood of many. However, the real prototype is far from the quirky character the showrunners portrayed him as – which you can’t do for the sake of ratings.
It is customary to consider the red-bearded son of Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska Sultan a very unfortunate fellow. He feared for his life, did everything, if only Suleiman had mercy on him.
In addition, the heir to the throne received an unpleasant nickname among the court – “drunkard”. Apparently, tapping glass after glass was in the style of the future ruler.

However, none of this detracts from its other merits. Selim was in love with art. He painted and supported the artists financially. He decided to build a water pipe so that the inhabitants of the empire could have clean water. During his reign, the number of wars decreased, while it was he who managed to realize the sultan’s unfulfilled dream – to take possession of the island of Cyprus, writes Komsomolskaya Pravda.
