Overview
Mustafa I was an Ottoman sultan who took power after the death of his brother Sultan Ahmad I in 1026 AH. Al-Sallabi counts his reign as the first in which an outside hand visibly stood behind the appointment and removal of caliphs: he was deposed after three months and his nephew Osman II was enthroned. 1
Return to the throne
When the Janissaries killed Osman II in their mutiny of 1031 AH, Mustafa was restored for a second reign. The government became a plaything in Janissary hands, appointing and dismissing grand viziers at whim — seven changes of grand vizier within one year and four months. For his weakness and inability to administer the state he was deposed a second time, and Prince Murad IV, son of Sultan Ahmad I, was enthroned. 2
