Sueleman
Sueleman Sueleman was a Sultan from 1520 untill 1566. He was a very fair and just ruler, at least to his loyal subjects. He also was a great military ruler, and was loved by his army. He had a brilliant mind, and the Ottoman Empire greatly benefited from it. Sueleman was a great, perfectly rounded ruler. Sueleman, also called “Sueleman the Lawgiver”, came after his father, Suelim, also known as “Suelim the Grim” by his subjects. Suelim the Grim was very cruel to his subjects, as well as his enemies. Sueleman, however, was not. He told his subjects that he would be fair and kind to them as long as they pledged their never-ending trust to him. The people respected their new ruler, and the respect was mutual. Sueleman was very good to them. However, those who didn’t pledge their loyalty to him were dealt with swiftly and painfully.

While his normal teachers taught him reading, writing, arithmetic, reason, and logic, his father taught him warfare skills. Sueleman learned fighting techniques, battle tactics, and hand-to-hand combat methods. He greatly benefited from the teachings of his father, but also from his teachers. If he had not been taught as he was, he wouldn’t have been a successful sultan. Sueleman was, without a doubt, one of the greatest rulers of all time. He conquered many lands, and many a people, in just one lifetime. He did however, make some mistakes. One was believing his slave girlfriend. When she said that the son who was best suited for the sultan position was claiming to be all-powerful, and being too ambitious, she was betraying Sueleman and taking advantage of him. He was not doing so, but Sueleman didn’t know that at the time. He called his son to see him, and when his son got there, Sueleman’s guards killed him. This was Sueleman’s greatest mistake, and it haunted him for the rest of his life. With few male heirs to the throne, and none well-suited for the job since he killed his best son, after Sueleman died his empire fell to Bibliography:
