Solyman II's palace being graced with dancing women
Solyman II was the Sultan of Tuscany, therefore being of extreme wealth and power. Rosselana, on the other hand, was kidnapped after her family was slaughtered and sold off. It was as a result of this though, that Rosselana was sold into the hands of Solyman's own buyer, who had bought Rosselana home for the Sultan. Solyman instantly took a liking towards Rosselana, and although she could not become Hassaki, due to the mother of his son, Rosselana had affirmed her superiority over all the other women in the house. Within Solyman's house he pleasured himself with beautiful things, such as amusements, festivals and dances, as shown in the image
