Mehmed IV

Mehmed IV (Turkish: IV. Mehmed or Mehmed Kıbrıs; Arabic: محمد الرابع; January 2, 1642 – January 6, 1693) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1687. His reign, which began when he was just six years old, was marked by significant military campaigns, including the Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683, a pivotal moment in European history. Mehmed IV is often remembered for his role in expanding Ottoman influence, particularly in the Balkans and the Caucasus. The translation of his name to Hebrew is מהמט הרביעי. His reign saw both successes and challenges, including internal strife and the gradual decline of Ottoman military dominance in Europe. Mehmed IV's rule was also notable for the political influence of his mother, Kösem Sultan, and his grandmother, Kaffa Hatun, during his minority.

Mehmed IV

Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1687

Mehmed IV, nicknamed as Mehmed the Hunter, was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1687. He came to the throne at the age of six after his father was overthrown in a coup. Mehmed went on to become the second-longest-reigning sultan in Ottoman history after Suleiman the Magnificent. While the initial and final years of his reign were characterized by military defeat and political instability, during his middle years he oversaw the revival of the empire's fortunes associated with the Köprülü era. Mehmed IV was known by contemporaries as a particularly pious ruler, and was referred to as gazi, or "holy warrior" for his role in the many conquests carried out during his long reign.
