Suleiman
II (15 April 1642 – 22 June 1691) (Ottoman Turkish: سليمان ثانى
Süleymān-i sānī) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1687 to 1691.
After being brought to the throne by an armed mutiny, Suleiman and his
grand vizier Fazıl Mustafa Pasha were successfully able to turn the tide
of the War of the Holy League, reconquering Belgrade in 1690, as well
as carrying out significant fiscal and military reforms.
Suleiman II
was born on 15 April 1642 at Topkapı Palace in Constantinople, the son
of Sultan Ibrahim and Aşub Sultan, a Serb woman originally named
Katarina. Suleiman was only 3 months younger than his half-brother
Mehmed IV, who was born on 2 January 1642. After the deposition and
execution of his father in 1648, Suleiman's half-brother Mehmed came to
the throne. On 21 October 1649, Suleiman along with his brothers Mehmed
and Ahmed were circumcised.
In 1651, Suleiman was confined in
kafes (cage), a kind of luxurious prison for princes of the blood within
the Topkapı Palace (it was designed to ensure that none could organize a
rebellion), and he stayed there for 36 years until he took the throne
in 1687.
In 1656, Şeyhülislam Hocazade Mesud Efendi and other
grand viziers tried to put Suleiman but failed and some were executed
some were punished. After the defeat of Vienna in 1683, Suleiman and
Ahmed were brought to Istanbul and the Şimşirlik Kasnna was closed.
Reign
Suleiman
II went to the Eyüp Sultan Mosque on 3 December 1687, and a sword was
besieged by Şeyhülislam Debbağzade Mehmed Efendi and the Janissary Ağa
Mustafa Ağa. The next day, he went to the first Friday salute at the
Hagia Sophia Mosque. The Suleymaniye Mosque preacher Aralızade Abdül
Efendi, He was appointed every day by the sultan of the Süleymaniye
Mosque. Recep Pasha who ran before Suleiman's accession was found in
house at Çatalca and was executed in front of Bab-I-Humayun. In the
first months of 1688, when the news of the Venetian invasion of the
Peloponnese and the Attic burning, the Austrian border was also invaded.
The mausoleum of Suleiman II is located inside the türbe of
Suleiman the Magnificent. (In the above picture, his tomb is seen at the
center between Ahmed II and Suleiman the Magnificent).
Shortly
before he assumed the throne, the Ottomans suffered a major defeat at
the second Battle of Mohács in 1687. In 1688, Suleiman II urgently
requested the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb for assistance against the
rapidly advancing Austrians, during the Ottoman–Habsburg War, but most
Mughal forces were engaged in the Deccan Wars and Aurangzeb ignored
Suleiman's request to commit to any formal assistance to their desperate
Ottoman allies.
In order to cover the treasury deficit, the
trust of hamr (drink) started to operate again. It was the public budget
deficit, it was banned but people publicly sold drinks in taverns,
Istanbul and Galata, in taverns and even at home. While Suleiman
managed to demolish the alcohol shops the owners starting bringing more
alcohol. The tax on alcohol was 8 gold coins.
Suleiman II
shrewdly appointed Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha as his Grand Vizier on 25
October 1689, leading to the reconquest of Belgrade in 1690. Even so,
when Russian Empire joined an alliance of European powers, the Ottomans
lost the support of their Crimean vassals, who were forced to defend
themselves from Russian invasion. Under Köprülü's leadership, the
Ottomans halted an Austrian advance into Serbia and crushed an uprising
in Macedonia and Bulgaria until Köprülü Fazıl Mustafa Pasha was killed
in the Battle of Slankamen by Austrian forces.
Death
Suleiman
II was in a coma and was brought to Edirne on 8 June 1691. He died on 22
June 1691 and his body was put in an icebox. His brother Ahmed was
enthroned and his body was buried in Suleiman the Magnificent's tomb at
Süleymaniye Mosque in Istanbul.
