مراد الثالث

Murad III (r. 982–1003/1574–1595) — trilingual poet-sultan; saw Poland placed under Ottoman protection, Tiflis and Tabriz taken from the Safavids, and in two Rajab 988/September 1580 letters offered the Sa'dids 300 sultanic galleys and an army to recover al-Andalus — then, facing al-Mansur's readiness and his near-agreement with Spain, ordered Uluj Ali to stand down. Sokollu's assassination in his reign opened the era of palace-made grand viziers. Buried in Hagia Sophia's courtyard.
