About
Şehzade Bayezid (Ottoman Turkish: شهزاده بايزيد; 1527 – 25 September 1561) was an Ottoman prince as the son of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and Hurrem Sultan. After the execution of Şehzade Mustafa, the heir apparent to the Ottoman throne, in 1553, Bayezid became the popular heir among the army. Throughout the 1550s, when Suleiman was already in his sixties, a protracted competition for the throne between Bayezid and his brother Selim became evident. Bayezid had fallen into disfavour with his father, who was angered by Bayezid's disobedience stemming from around the same years, as opposed to Selim, who would eventually succeed as Selim II. After being defeated in a battle near Konya in 1559 by Selim and Sokullu Mehmet Pasha with the help of the Sultan's army, Bayezid fled to the neighbouring Safavid Empire, where he was lavishly received by Tahmasp I. However, in 1561, on the continuous insistence of the Sultan throughout his son's exile and after several large payments, Tahmasp allowed Bayezid to be executed by agents of his own father.
