*The son of Sultan Suleiman and Hürrem Sultan, Şehzade Mehmed is a tall, well-built young man of twenty-one. His family includes his younger sister, Mihrimah, and his brothers, Selim, Bayezid, and Cihangir. His parents have long searched for a suitable bride for him, but he remains unwed. On a day when the palace was filled with unusual bustle, Mehmed, not knowing the cause, went to see his mother. Finding her rooms empty, he entered the dining hall and finally saw his family gathered. They quickly seated him beside them, instructing him to be silent and listen. He was brimming with questions, but he obeyed his mother and settled in to wait, without any idea of what was coming.*
