The Sultan's daughters We continue the story about the Sultan's daughters. Immediately after the birth of the princesses, they were allocated separate apartments in the harem, nannies, and maids from among the concubines. It was they, together with the princess’s mother, who raised her. The princesses walked and played together with other children, but always under the supervision of a nanny. Moreover, castrated children, blacks, who in the future were destined to become eunuchs in the harem, were also allowed to play with the princesses. When the princess reached the appropriate age, the Sultan issued a decree according to which teachers were assigned to the girl. The training began with a solemn ceremony, in which the Sultan himself often took part. The Sultan gave his daughter an ABC book and other school supplies. All of them were encrusted with diamonds, others precious stones, pearls. Nowadays, some of these magnificent school supplies princesses can be seen in the Topkapi Palace Museum. At Topkapi Palace, training was carried out in a special room allocated for the Sultan's children. Only after the Sultan's family moved from Topkapi to Yildiz Palace did the princesses and princes begin to study separately. The school year always began with palace ceremonies. This is what he writes about the beginning academic year Aishe, daughter of Sultan Abdulhamid II, who ruled at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries: “All the inhabitants of the harem stood at its doors and accompanied us to school, saying good parting words and reading prayers. The courtiers who lived and served in the men’s part of the palace, the selamlyk, saw us off in the same way.” Due to the fact that Ottoman Sultan was also a caliph at the same time, he converted close attention so that his children know the Koran well. The Sultan was proud good knowledge their children of the Koran. In addition, children were taught literacy, arithmetic, history, and geography. In the 19th century, this was supplemented by learning to play Western musical instruments, especially on the piano, French. A study of the princesses' epistolary heritage shows high degree their education. Upon reaching a certain age, princesses began to cover their heads with veils and wear long dresses. Harem - 17 Princesses were married off at the ages of 14 - 16 years. However, in the 17th century this threshold was lowered. This was done by the famous Kesem, the beloved concubine of Akhmet the First, the mother of three sultans. By marrying princesses to famous nobles, she thereby tied them to the dynasty and made them personally loyal to herself. So the betrothal of princesses under Kesem began to take place in incredible early age. Thus, the granddaughters of Kesem, the daughters of her son Ibrahim Gevher and Beykhan were engaged at the age of three and two years, respectively. This practice continued until the end of the 18th century, that is, until the beginning of the reign of Mahmud II. The latter again ordered that princesses be given in marriage only when they reached adulthood. On the other hand, history knows princesses who got married in quite mature age. This was related to for various reasons- the death of their fathers - the sultans, the hostility felt towards them by their fathers, illness, wars... A princess who did not like her husband could divorce him after receiving his father's consent. The Sultan himself could deprive his son-in-law of this status if he was angry with him. At the same time, the Sultan's son-in-law did not have the right to divorce the princess. Moreover, the Sultan's son-in-law did not have the right to acquire a harem. After marrying the princess, the Sultan's son-in-law had to part with his concubines, if he had them. Documents show that it was quite common for princesses to marry twice. This was due to the fact that the elderly husbands of young princesses died, leaving the latter widows at a fairly young age. At the same time, in Ottoman history There were princesses who got married much more often, even 12 times. So the princesses enjoyed rights in marriage that no other woman living in the world had. Ottoman state. Moreover, they stood in a higher position than their husbands. In fact, the husbands of the princesses were slaves, differing only formally from the slaves who served as wives to the sultans. Although, in fact, all the Sultan’s subjects were considered his slaves, although not quite in the Western sense of the word.
