مراد الخامس

Murad V (r. 1293/1876) — sultan for ninety-three days: cultured, Francophile and constitutionalist, he broke down under the shock of his uncle's midnight deposition and was himself deposed by a shaykh al-Islam fatwa on incurable madness — the text of which the source quotes — then recovered and lived out his days in Çırağan palace.
