Overview
His reign
al-Salabi says that the decline continued in his time. Austria took many positions, among them Belgrade in the year 1099 AH, and Venice occupied the coasts of Dalmatia and some places in Greece 2.
He says that the grand vizier Mustafa ibn Mehmed Köprülü followed his father's path, and allowed the Christians of Istanbul to rebuild what had fallen of their churches. He adds that the people of the Morea rose against the Catholic Venetians, drove out their army, and placed themselves under the protection of the Ottoman state 2.
The birth date rests on a single source, and needs an additional source.
