Şehzade Süleyman (Ottoman Turkish: شهزاده سليمان‎; c. 1613/1615 – 27 July 1635) was an Ottoman prince and the son of Sultan Ahmed I and maybe his Haseki Kösem Sultan. He was the brother of Murad IV and Ibrahim, and half-brother of Osman II.

Life

[edit]

Şehzade Süleyman was born between 1613 and 1615 in Topkapı Palace to Sultan Ahmed I and possibly his Haseki Kösem Sultan.

After Murad IV’s accession in 1623, Süleyman was confined in the Kafes.[1][2]

Death

[edit]

In 1635, Süleyman, his (maybe) brother Selim and his half-brother Bayezid were executed during the celebrations over the victory at Erivan.[3] The orders were carried out by Murad IV, the cause of Süleyman's execution is unknown. It was most likely that he was found favored on the throne by Murad's opponents and rivals that wanted to overthrown him.

After his death, he was buried in his father Ahmed I's mausoleum in the Blue Mosque.
