Historically speaking prior to hurrem, if concubines had a son then they wouldn't visit the sultan again and would occupy themselves with raising the prince, by the time hurrem met Suleiman , Mustapha was already born and he was a 4 years old little boy so mahidevran's concubinage to the sultan had already ended years before hurrem's arrival , it doesn't make sense to me how she would be so jealous of hurrem ? Also mahidevran shared Suleiman with multiple concubines it's not like they were monogamous and then hurrem stole him from her, I would say intialy they kept a formal cordial relationship then with time when hurrem started being more and more powerful in an unprecedented manner and Mehmet being the favorite of the sultan the rivalry started and hostility started developing between the two.

But again we have a report of Navagero saying that as a result of the bitter rivalry between the two a fight between the two women broke out, and Mahidevran beat and humiliated Hürrem, which enraged Suleiman, the supposed fight happened in 1526 but he reported it much much later and This makes me doubt it tbh.

What do y'all think? I'm just making assumptions , I heard that there's also reports of hafsa sultan breaking the fights between the two but not sure if this is true or not
