Atike Sultan (daughter Of Ahmed I)
Burnaz Atike Sultan ( ota, عاتکه سلطان, "''proof''" and "''the free one''" or "''the generous one''"; 1614?, Topkapi Palace, Constantinople - 1674, Constantinople) was an Ottoman princess, daughter of Sultan Ahmed I. Materhood Atike Sultan was born in Constantinople, in the Topkapi Palace, probably around 1614. Her father was the Ottoman Sultan Ahmed I. The identity of her mother is controversial, due to the inaccuracy of her date of birth: she could be a daughter of Kösem Sultan and twin of Şehzade Kasim or one of her other children, or be born of an unknown concubine. The first hypothesis is supported by evidence of a particular closeness between Atike, Kösem, and her youngest son, Ibrahim (the future Ibrahim I). Not only did Atike give as a gift to Ibrahim and Kösem, the future Turhan Sultan, first Haseki of Ibrahim and mother of Mehmed IV, but she also was buried inside Ibrahim's mausoleum rather, than that of her father, which is unusual for a princess da ...

Mihnea III
Mihnea III Radu ( tr, Radu Gioan Bey; 1613 – 5 April 1660), was a Prince of Moldavia, and ruler of Wallachia from March 1658 to November 1659. His father was alleged to have been the Voivode Radu Mihnea. Family Ancestry claims Radu's ancestry is uncertain. In his day, Radu claimed to be the son of Radu Mihnea, but other versions of his history give different accounts of his ancestry, such as claiming his true father was Radu Șerban or Mircea Ciobanu. Pârvu Cantacuzino claims that "Mihnea was originally a Greek money-lender. His father was called Iane the Deaf (Rom. “Surdul”), and he himself was baptized Franți. Thus, showing from a young age a propensity to follow Ishmael, Hagar’s son, he ran away from his parents, went to Țarigrad, and bowed in allegiance to Kinan-pașa, telling him that he was the son of Radu-voivode and the grand-son of Mihnea-voivode. And thus he spent his life with the Turks, around 40 years". However, the lack of contemporary evidence ma ...

Murad IV
Murad IV ( ota, مراد رابع, ''Murād-ı Rābiʿ''; tr, IV. Murad, was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1623 to 1640, known both for restoring the authority of the state and for the brutality of his methods. Murad IV was born in Constantinople, the son of Sultan Ahmed I (r. 1603–17) and Kösem Sultan. He was brought to power by a palace conspiracy when he was just 11 years old, and he succeeded his uncle Mustafa I (r. 1617–18, 1622–23). Until he assumed absolute power on 18 May 1632, the empire was ruled by his mother, Kösem Sultan, as ''nāʾib-i salṭanat'' (regent). His reign is most notable for the Ottoman–Safavid War, of which the outcome would partition the Caucasus between the two Imperial powers for around two centuries, while it also roughly laid the foundation for the current Turkey–Iran–Iraq borders. Early life Murad IV was born on 27 July 1612 to Ahmed I (reign 16031617) and his consort and later wife Kösem Sultan, an ethnic Greek. Af ...

Eski Saray
Eski Saray ( Turkish for "Old Palace"), also known as Sarây-ı Atîk-i Âmire, was a palatial building in Constantinople during the period of Ottoman rule, and it was the first such palace built in the city following the conquest of 1453. It was located in the Beyazıt neighborhood of the Fatih district, in an area now housing the main campus of Istanbul University, between the Süleymaniye Mosque and the Bayezid II Mosque. Construction of the palace commenced shortly after the 1453 conquest, and it was completed in 1458. Although historians of the period such as Doukas and Michael Critobulus stated that it was completed in 1455, the general opinion is that by then various parts such as the harem and mansion were finished, but it was not fully completed until 1458. Evliya Çelebi stated in his ''Seyahatnâme'' that the construction of the palace began in 1454 on the site of an old church and that the palace was surrounded by a solid rectangular wall covered with a blue lead tha ...

He came to the throne at the age of six after his father was overthrown in a coup. Mehmed went on to become the second longest reigning sultan in Ottoman history after Suleiman the Magnificent. While the initial and final years of his reign were characterized by military defeat and political instability, during his middle years he oversaw the revival of the empire's fortunes associated with the Köprülü era. Mehmed IV was known by contemporaries as a particularly pious ruler, and was referred to as gazi, or "holy warrior" for his role in the many conquests carried out during his long reign. Under Mehmed IV's reign the empire reached the height of its territorial expansion in Europe. From a young age he developed a keen interest in hunting, for which he is known as '' ...
