| 1 | 1521 | Damascus | Revolt by the ruler of Damascus.[1] Selim I appointed Canberdi Gazali as a government of Damascus. After the death of Selim I, Canberdi Gazali made himself independent ruler, but Aleppo refused to join him in his revolt. Suleiman's army killed Canberdi Gazali near Damascus on 27 January 1521.[1] | |
| 2 | 1523–1524 | Egypt | Revolt by the so-called the Sultan of Egypt Hain Ahmed Pasha.[1] | |
| 3 | 1526–1528 | Anatolia | Disturbances in eastern Anatolia.[1] | |
| 5 | 1555 | Thessaloniki | Revolt by a false Prince Mustafa.[1] | |
| 6 | 1559 | Konya | Revolt by his son Şehzade Beyazıt. Prince Şehzade Beyazıt was jealous of his brother Selim II.[2] As a consequence of his jealousy, Beyazıt raised the revolt at Konya (Konish).[2] Suleiman made preparations for a campaign against his son Beyazıt, but he renounced campaigning upon the latter's retreat to Persia.[2] Tahmasp I eventually sold Beyazıt and his children to the emissary of Selim, by whom they were tortured and killed.[1][2] |
