Vem daterade Murad III?

Murad III, född 4 juli 1546, död den 15 januari 1595, var sultan av Osmanska riket. Han var den äldste sonen till Selim II och Nur-Banu och efterträdde sin far som sultan 1574.

Murad III (Ottoman Turkish: مراد ثالث, romanized: Murād-i sālis; Turkish: III. Murad; 4 July 1546 – 16 January 1595) was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1574 until his death in 1595. His rule saw battles with the Habsburgs and exhausting wars with the Safavids. The long-independent Morocco was for a time made a vassal of the empire but regained independence in 1582. His reign also saw the empire's expanding influence on the eastern coast of Africa. However, the empire was beset by increasing corruption and inflation from the New World which led to unrest among the Janissary and commoners. Relations with Elizabethan England were cemented during his reign, as both had a common enemy in the Spanish. He was also a great patron of the arts, commissioning the Siyer-i-Nebi and other illustrated manuscripts.

Safiye, född 1550, död 1619, var gemål till sultan Murad III och inflytelserik i det ottomanska riket under sin sons regeringstid. Hon var valide sultan åt sin son Mehmet III från 1595 till 1603.
