Who is your favorite historical figure?
My favorite figure, more so because I’m super curious about the entirety of her background and story is Roxelana. She was the first official wife, meaning one married in an official marriage to an Ottoman sultan, something highly unusual in the culture of harems and and multiple concubines. While her actual background is not confirmed, I like to agree with the historians who believe she came from what is now Ukraine.
