محمد الرابع

Mehmed IV, the nineteenth Ottoman sultan, reigned 1058 to 1099 AH, 1648 to 1687 CE, and came to the throne at seven. His reign saw the Köprülü viziers, the conquest of Crete, the failed second siege of Vienna in 1683 and the loss of most of Hungary. He was deposed on 2 Muharram 1099, 8 November 1687, after a troop revolt following the defeat at Mohács, and died at Edirne in 1693.
