The Ottoman Empire began in the 13th century with Osman the 1st. Gaining land and power the Ottomans, named after Osman via anglicization and some language hopping, would soon conquer the ancient city of Constantinople. This would bring about an influx of Greek and Roman culture that was the backbone of the Byzantines. The Ottoman Empire reached far and wide, and it was reflected everywhere in the empire, even the Imperial Harem.

The harems of the Ottoman Empire. A subject that while evoking images of scantily dressed nubile young women, also deals with power, prestige, war, tradition, and ultimately the fate of an empire. Historical records from the west from the time of the Ottomans are skewed and biased, often inaccurate as few Europeans ever had firsthand experience with the Sultan’s harem. Actually, that isn’t quite true, there was any number of Europeans, Africans, and Eurasians that were very involved with the Imperial Harem, although rarely was this a willing and mutually beneficial arrangement. The Ottoman Empire was a very inclusive, yet traditional, place.
