* HistoricalRelationshipOverhaul:
** All of Süleyman's sisters are in the show [[RelatedInTheAdaptation daughters of Ay?e Hafsa]]; while she might've given birth to some them, most certainly not all - not the ones younger than Süleyman, anyway, since, as mentioned before, at the time is was customary for men of the dynasty to stop sleeping with a concubine once she has given birth to a son.
** It's not known what relationship, if any, Hatice Sultan had with Ibrahim Pasha. They certainly weren't married - that myth was dispelled by modern historiography. Hatice sultan is correctly shown to have been a widow by the time show started, and it's not certain whether or not she was married a second time (it was either her or one of her sisters who married Çoban Mustafa Pasha). She had a daughter, Nefise, with her first husband, and might've had one or two sons with him too. Ibrahim was instead happily married to Muhsine, who was a noblewoman. This myth probably stems from the fact that Ibrahim and Muhsine's wedding included festivities that wouldn't be out of place during a wedding of a princess. This marriage and lavish festivities surrounding it were meant as a sign of sultan's favor, encouraging the old ottoman elites to accept lowborn Ibrahim into their ranks. Muhsine and Ibrahim had one child, son named Mehmed?ah, who died very young a few years after his father.
** Fatma, Süleyman's other sister, was married three times - first to certain Mustafa pasha, then to Kara Mustafa, and lastly to Ibrahim pasha (not that one). Fatma is shown, at the beginning of season 4, to be unhappily married (in real life, Mustafa pasha was gay and neglected his wife)... Which she shouldn't be. She was already divorced and marrying Kara Mustafa in 1522, which in the show was season 1! At the time, Fatma wasn't even in the show.

* ArtisticLicense: Hürrem, Maria and Leo speaking Russian. Hürrem is supposed to come from Rohatyń, a town 68 km south-east of Lviv (nowadays, it's Ukraine, at the time it was Kingdom of Poland). Hürrem's native language was Ukrainian then, she might speak Polish, but her speaking Russian makes no sense at all. Her historical nickname Roxelane means Ruthenian which is not equivalent to Russian, indeed it's supposed to mean Ukrainian.

** Polygamy is the norm for Ottoman Sultans and princes, who are expected to have multiple concubines to have children with.
** Similarly, the Ottoman Sultan is expected to kill all of his brothers upon ascending the throne to prevent a succession crisis.
** ArrangedMarriage is expected for Ottoman princesses. For example, Mihrimah is 17 when she is forced to marry Rüstem, who is at least twenty years older than her.
** Selim is 12/13 when he is brought on campaign with his father, and Bayezid is a similar age when he gets annoyed about not going on campaign.
** If a prince is executed, then all his sons, regardless of age, are executed as well.
** No-one except the slaves themselves sees a problem with slavery.

* SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome: The ages of the children change rapidly, due to there being several actors playing one character throughout their lives. Mehmet and Mihrimah become toddlers within a year of their birth, and Selim’s son Murad looks around two to four years older than Bayezid’s eldest two sons, despite the fact that he was born a year after Sehzade Osman and three years after Sehzade Orhan.
