The director decided not to show reality.
Millions of television viewers fell in love with the series “The Magnificent Century” not only because of the intriguing love lines, but also because of the atmosphere that prevailed in the 16th century. However, in reality everything was much more difficult. The director distorted a lot so as not to spoil the nervous system of those who watched the film.
In fact, the punishments to which the main characters were subjected were not mitigated by any grace. For example, if concubines were starved, it lasted until the end. Not a crumb entered their mouths. They were often kept in rat prisons where it was terribly cold.
Also during this time, slaves who disturbed the sultan’s rooms received hard blows on the feet with a stick. It was called Falaka. After such torture, some girls could not walk for several days.
Another punishment Hurrem faces is imprisonment in a leather bag. And to make the concubine fatally ill, a poisonous snake was put into it, writes the Express Gazeta portal.
