سليمان القانوني

The tenth and most illustrious Ottoman sultan, who reigned 926–974 AH / 1520–1566 CE, the longest reign in Ottoman history. Born in Trabzon, he came to the throne without a rival and led thirteen imperial campaigns in person, ten of them in Europe, taking Belgrade and Rhodes, defeating the Hungarians at Mohács and besieging Vienna. Turkish tradition remembers him as Kanuni, the lawgiver, for ordering the sultanic kanun beside the shari'a with the help of the mufti Abu al-Su'ud, while the West called him the Magnificent; the architect Sinan built the Süleymaniye complex for him. He died in his tent during the siege of Szigetvár in 974 AH / 1566 CE.
