The brave, the fierce, the patriot, the religious, the Bağdat and Revan Fatih’i, some called him bloody, some called him brutal, but I think everyone has different abilities and ways of thinking to deal with situations. Seeing his own brother’s execution, seeing his own Sultan brother being humiliated and tortured by the army and people, seeing his own mother who didn’t let him do what he wanted to as a ‘Free Sultan’. Not to forget when he was young and the Empire was handled by Kösem Sultan it fell into anarchy; the Safavid Empire invaded Iraq almost immediately, Northern Anatolia erupted in revolts, and in 1631 the Janissaries stormed the palace and killed the Grand Vizier. He took so many brave decisions including; the execution of his own sister’s husband.
Thank you, Metin for portraying Sultan Murad so well.
