Read about this in a history book recently and thought others would enjoy it...
The Ottomon Sultan Bayezid and his favorite wife were unexpectedly captured alive by the central asian warlord Timur. Timur happned to be a genuine phscyo and one of the cruelest men in history (on par with genghis khan). Timur kept Bayezid chained in a cage (above lower pic) and used Bayazid as his footstool. The wife was turned into a common sex slave/prostitute in Timur's court. Timur would throw feasts in his court for his men while using Bayezid as his footstool and had to watch while his naked wife served Timur and his men (above upper pic). After several months of this Bayezid finally mentally broke and went insane and killed himself. No one knows what happned to the wife but almost certainly either kept as a sex slave for rest of her life or outright killed after Bayezid died. Also, the Ottomons never tried to save Bayezid because his sons went into a civil war trying to take over the throne after he got captured. so basically his favorite wife was turned into his greatest enemies sex slave and his sons abandoned him.
