Gabriel Bounin (1520 in Chateauroux - 1604)[1] was a French writer 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.[2][3] In defiance of the rules of the Pleiad, La Soltane was a play about a contemporary event, rather than a Classical one.[3] This tragedy marks the first time the Ottomans were introduced on stage in France.[4]
