Hürrem or Karima, born Alexandra Anastasia Lisovska, known to Europeans informally as simply Roxolana (c. 1500–1506 – April 18, 1558) was a concubine and next the first wife of Süleyman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire. The legendary love between the two inspired European imagination, such as this painting by the German baroque painter Anton Hickel (1780)
In the 1520s, she was captured by Crimean Tatars during one of their frequent raids into this region and taken as a slave, probably first to the Crimean city of Kaffa, a major centre of the slave trade, then to Constantinople, and was selected for Süleyman's harem.
