Murad IV

The 17th sultan of the Ottoman Empire, reigning from 1623 to 1640. Son of Ahmed I and Kösem Sultan, he was a child at his accession, leading his mother Kösem Sultan and others to direct state affairs; however, after assuming personal rule in 1632, he suppressed rebellions and military factions to restore centralized governance. Personally leading armies in the war against the Safavid Dynasty, he recaptured Baghdad in 1638. He was also famous for his strict controls and severe punishments, enforcing prohibitions on alcohol, tobacco, and coffee. He also held a keen interest in poetry and music.
