Ahmed I
14th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1603 to 1617 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Ahmad I" redirects here. For others named Ahmed I and Ahmad I, see Ahmad I (disambiguation).
Ahmed I (Ottoman Turkish: احمد اول Aḥmed-i evvel; Turkish: I. Ahmed; 18 April 1590 – 22 November 1617) was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1603 to 1617. Ahmed's reign is noteworthy for marking the first breach in the Ottoman tradition of royal fratricide; henceforth, Ottoman rulers would no longer systematically execute their brothers upon accession to the throne.[2] He is also well known for his construction of the Blue Mosque, one of the most famous mosques in Turkey.
