Gabriel Bounin
La Soltane by Gabriel Bounin, 1561.
Gabriel Bounin was a French author and dramaturgist of the 16th century. He was a lawyer of Châteauroux in Berry. In 1561, Gabriel Bounin published La Soltane, a tragedy highlighting the role of Roxelane (with no reliable sources or proof) in the execution of Şehzade Mustafa, the elder son of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent.[1][2] In defiance of the rules of the Pleiad, La Soltane was a play about a contemporary event, rather than a Classical one.[2] This tragedy marks the first time the Ottomans were introduced on stage in France.[3]
