In the 2018 census, the city of Tokat had a population of 155,000. History The city was established in the Hittite era. During the time of King Mithradates VI of Pontus, it was one of his many strongholds in Asia Minor. Known as Evdokia or Eudoxia, ecclesiastically it was later incorporated into the western part of the Byzantine Greek Empire of Trebizond. Some authors like Guillaume de Jerphanion and William Mitchell Ramsay identified Tokat with the ancient and medieval Dazimon, with Ramsay saying, "Dazimon, which seems to have been a fortress, must have been the modern Tokat, with its strong castle. Henri Grégoire, on the other hand, refuted this as implausible, because a 13th-century text written by Ibn Bibi clearly distinguishes Dazimon and Tokat as separate places. Instead, he said, Tokat s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mihrimah Sultan (daughter Of Murad III)
Mihrimah Sultan ( ota, مهرماه سلطان, "''sun and moon''" or "''light of the moon''") was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Murad III (reign 1574–1595) and perphaps Safiye Sultan, and sister of Sultan Mehmed III (reign 1595–1603) of the Ottoman Empire. Birth It is not known for sure who her mother was. There are hits that most often claim that she was the daughter of unknown concubine and that she was suggestly born in 1592. The main evidence of this is the date of his first known marriage, placed between 1604 and 1613. The ''Ottoman Register'' indicates that in 1595, when her father died, she was among his eldest daughters, which indicates that she may have been the daughter of Safiye Sultan. If that is true, she was not born before 1578-79. It would also make sense if she was born shortly after the death of Mihrimah Sultan,a daughter of Suleiman the Magnificent, in whose honor she was named. If she was Safiye's daughter, she had at least two full brother ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sultan Of The Ottoman Empire
The sultans of the Ottoman Empire ( tr, Osmanlı padişahları), who were all members of the Ottoman dynasty (House of Osman), ruled over the transcontinental empire from its perceived inception in 1299 to its dissolution in 1922. At its height, the Ottoman Empire spanned an area from Hungary in the north to rebel in the south and from Algeria in the west to Iraq in the east. Administered at first from the city of Söğüt since before 1280 and then from the city of Bursa since 1323 or 1324, the empire's capital was moved to Adrianople (now known as Edirne in English) in 1363 following its conquest by Murad I and then to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) in 1453 following its conquest by Mehmed II. The Ottoman Empire's early years have been the subject of varying narratives, due to the difficulty of discerning fact from legend.
