Only the ruthless princes could survive in the Ottoman royal family because to take the throne you had to kill your brother or your father. i mean he couldn't be polite had to prove himself. His enemies, his soldiers, his statesmen would only respect him if they feared him because he was so young. His relationship with his father is actually different. He became Sultan at the age of 13 and the crusaders started coming towards the Ottomans. There are 2 theories about it. First; he asked his father to become Sultan again and rule the country (i think he was afraid i dream of myself when I'm 13 and idk 😅) but his father didn't accept it. He wrote a letter to his father and said to him, "If you are sultan, lead your army and protect your state, if I am sultan, I order you to come and lead your army!" and his father come back. Second; it was like in the series. Mehmet was very confident but the vizier and other statesmen didn't trust him so they asked his father to come back. There is no exact information about which one is correct there is only one truth, at the age of 21 he was a commander who could conquer Constantinople. He spoke many languages ​​and was a successful engineer and was involved in the design of cannons used in war.

There can be no illegitimate children from the Ottoman royal family. Mother of the royal family's children was known even if she was a maid. Wives of the Ottoman royal family did not have to be noble. Mehmet's mother's name was Hüma and everyone knew her. Mehmet is inlegitimate in the series and this is wrong. The vizier has Mehmet beaten in the series this isn't possible because royal blood is holy and can't be shed for this reason royal family strangled to death.

After the conquest of Constantinople, the city was looted for 3 days not shown in this series. The Sultan didn't want the city to be plundered but he couldn't resist because he was a new sultan. You are warned to surrender 3 times according to Islam and if you don't accept, the reward for the winning army is to plunder your city. Mehmet was a very new sultan and the army had been at war for about 2 months, he had to give permission. There are sultans who were overthrown by a coup in Ottoman history. He couldn't afford the army to riot. It is rumored that Mehmet who came to Constantinople after the looting, cried when he saw the city. Mehmet was in love with Constantinople and he called himself 'Kayser-i Rum' after the conquest that means Caesar of the Roman.

the documentary is not entirely wrong but there are some mistakes
