This pointy gold tiara with green stones was first worn by Hürrem Sultan in the thirty-sixth episode of the third season of Magnificent Century. It was also worn by an older Hürrem Sultan in the second episode of the fourth season. The tiara can also be seen on Mihrimah Sultan in the tenth episode of the same season.
The tiara appears again on Mara Branković in the first episode of Fatih: Sultan of Conquests.

Oh my God oh my God oh my God, why does “Rise of the Raven” look so incredibly disappointing. Why does Hunyadi look like a Viking warrior. Why are they turning Mara Branković into his first love who breaks his heart. Why cannot we finally be given a proper portrayal of the important events and figures of Central and Eastern Europe. 😭

Minette finally watched Rise Of Empires: Ottoman, vol.2
- My most important takeaway - not gay enough. Yes, I know that Mehmet having hots for Radu is heavily disputed by historians, but c’mon people. I wanted to see Ali Gözüşirin get railed by that sexy redhead! Or rail that sexy redhead, I am not picky at this point. At the very least, after all the buildup, at least one night of passionate hatesex between Mehmet and Vlad was in order. They didn’t even get to kill each other in a final climactic (heh) battle (which, if you’re unaware, is for me the exact reverse of and an acceptable substitute for hatesex). For shame.
- On the plus side, there was only one useless subplot this season. On the other hand, it was really, really useless. I haven’t seen anything this limp and lacking tension since the Ayşe-Mustafa-Rumeysa love triangle in MC. Well, at least the girls and their clothes were pretty? Mara Branković was wasted, but at least she got to visit Buda that one time, which was nice.
- Speaking of! Matthias Corvinus cameo was also disappointing. Like this was one of the best Hungarian kings, for whom kicking Ottoman asses was just a side hustle while taking a break from whipping the country into shape and conquest unprecedented in Hungarian history. Meanwhile, this show portrays him as just... Some dude? For shame.
- Well, at least the acting was better this season, even if the accents were still distracting af. Special props to the Romanian dude who played Vlad, he was pretty dope. The child actors, tho... Ugh. The flashback scenes were a slog to get trough.
- The storytelling was much sloppier than the last season, which was much more streamlined, probably because it focused on a single siege of a single city instead of a prolonged campaign that was the culmination of a much longer enmity between two men and their realms. Still, they could’ve done a better job truly fleshing out the campaign. Then again, this being me, a truly in-depth look at the nuts and bolts of military matters would probably bore me to tears, so...
- It could be pretty cheesy at times, even more than season 1. Vlad and Mehmet literally beating the shit out of each other WITH THEIR FISTS, in the middle of the battlefield, to the sounds of literal artillery fire? Amazing, no notes. Best laugh I had this year. Anastasia’s death was also extremely funny, like it made logical sense, but the fact that it was played 100% straight, without a hint of irony, was a bit of a bummer. That said, some dramatic moments worked for me, like the trees at Targovişte were well-executed (heh) and I literally SCREAMED during the final confrontation between Vlad and Radu.
- On the other hand, Vlad and Radu mostly worked for me as characters. Mehmet not so much; his perfect curls and morals reminded me too much of Lorenzo from The Magnificent. Overall the personal conflict at the heart of the story should’ve given this season a stronger emotional core, but the writers were biased towards the Ottomans and also bad, so in the end it didn’t.
- That said, as an unauthorized Magnificent Century prequel, it’s pretty decent. Plus it still has good production values and Charles Dance as the narrator, so. 6/10

Speaking of Ottoman history, Mara Branković reminds Shaw of Lourdes but I’m too tired and lazy to elaborate

This brown fur coat with its distinct collar was first worn by Safiye Sultan in the fourth episode of the first season of Magnificent Century: Kösem. Kösem Sultan wore it again in the twenty-fourth episode of the following season.
The coat is also briefly seen on Mara Branković in the first episode of the first season of Netflix docutainment series Rise of Empires: Ottoman.

I want to know how Sultan addressed their mothers in documents, letters and in real and how their mother addressed their sultan son in doc/letters/in front of him. Thanks.
Gülbahar Hatun, mother of Bayezid II, addressed her son like this in a private letter: My fortune, my dear lord and my sultan. Mothers (but other people as well) usually called the sultan fortune-favoured padişah.
Mehmed II referred to Mara Branković as my mother in an official document.
Mothers addressed their sons by arslanım (my lion). That's exactly how Kösem called Murad IV in her reply to the Şeyhülislam, who had written to her worried about Murad IV's recent execution of a judge in İznik. She also called him my son in her letters to the Grand Vizier.

As far as obscure Slavic princesses go, Mara Branković, eldest daughter of the Serbian Despot¹, Đurađ Branković, is pretty obscure. She has been all but forgotten to the world, yet for several decades she was one of the most important diplomats in Europe, helping to keep a tenuous peace between the Muslim Ottomans, and the Christian everybody else. Mara was the daughter of Đurađ Branković and his second wife, Irene. Maybe. She may have been the daughter of Đurađ's first, unnamed wife. The documentation is shaky, and it's difficult to know exactly when and to whom Mara was born. What is for sure is that she was the second of five children--two girls and three boys. Serbia, at the time, was in a shaky spot. Sandwiched between the rapidly growing Ottoman Empire, and the land hungry Hungarian Empire, Serbia was put in the precarious position of having to serve two masters who didn't like each other. Đurađ had been able to gain the position of despot by only the skin of his teeth, after the previous despot died without an heir. he required the approval of the leaders of his powerful neighbors to retain his position. In order to appease the pair, he gave his daughters to them in marriage, Mara to Sultan Murad II, and her sister, Katrina, to the Count of Hungary.
