Missing Sultans? edit

Murad IV: "Murad also emulated his forebears by playing the role of a warrior-sultan. He personally led two successful campaigns against the Safavids of Iran, resulting in the recapture of Yerevan and Baghdad."

Mehmed IV "Mehmed IV was determined to portray himself as an active and able warrior-sultan. He personally led the Ottoman army during the campaign of 1672 against Poland, taking with him his favorite concubine Rabia Gülnüş Emetullah and their son, Prince Mustafa. Mehmed used the occasion to teach his heir-apparent, rather than keeping him in seclusion in the palace, a practice that had been habitual since the early years of the century. Prince Mustafa would eventually follow his father’s example, personally leading his own army soon after he became sultan in 1695."

So we already got Mustafa II which is good, but we don't got his father and Murad IV

Murat IV, a warrior, is known for his two major campaigns against Persia. But he never fought in a battle. During the campaigns Persians chose to defend the castles instead of an open-area conflict and the forts were captured by his viziers. Mehmet IV on the other was not a warrior and he was nick named "the hunter" for he preferred to hunt rather than to campaign. (In fact he later on was dethroned for his lack of interest in the battles.) It is true that he was present during the campaign against Poland. But he didn't participate in any open-area conflict. Thus I can't name any battle battle directed by these two sultans. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 01:51, 28 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
