Süleyman the Magnificent was the son and successor of Selim I “the Grim” and the tenth in his ruling dynasty. He ascended the throne on September 30, 1520, at age twenty-five after attending the palace schools and serving six years as provincial governor. After crushing the Mamlūks of Egypt in 1521 (and again in 1524), Süleyman continued his father’s conquests in the Balkans and the Mediterranean, taking Belgrade, Rhodes, much of Hungary, and Crimea. The sultan pressed on with his wars against the Persians, taking Tabrīz (in northwestern Iran) as well as Mosul, Baghdad, and Basra (in modern Iraq), Armenia, Azerbaijan, much of North Africa, and an undefined extent of hinterland inhabited by Arabs. Süleyman’s forces captured numerous Aegean islands as well.
