She was the sort of woman who made all heads turn when she entered the room and several men about the court were smitten with her. That fact alone was enough to stir Henry's competitive spirit. He warned off all potential rivals and decided that Anne would make an ideal queen. She certainly had the accomplishments necessary to enable her to preside graciously over the court.

Have you heard about Hurrem Sultan? You wore her crown… They say she even could drown out the voices of all the women only with her whisper. Hurrem Sultan is power from head to toe; this is greatness from head to toe. After the death of Hurrem Sultan, the ring passed to Nurbanu Sultan. She was a powerful woman too. We never haven’t seen a woman more beautiful than her, and more heartless as well… - Safiye Sultan
