When Zigetvar arrived, Süleyman the Magnificent went out of his horses to walk the tent to raise morale. On August 7, the siege began. At the beginning of the encirclement, Castle Commander Nicolas Zriny would send a ‘welcome’ rose, and also kill a progressive Turks in captivity. Zigetvar Castle was a sheltered sanctuary. The four storeys are surrounded by water drones. The siege lasted about a month. His illness also advanced day by day. He could not get out of his tent anymore. The rumors among the soldiers also increased. Kanuni Sultan Süleyman passed away the night of 6-7 September the night before the conquest of Zigetvar. Kanuni Sultan Süleyman was 71 years old when he died. The longest period of Ottoman rule in the statue of 46 years in the ruling of 13 out of the more than 10 years were found in flights outside of Istanbul.

As the rumors of the Sultan’s death became widespread, the next day a divan meeting was declared and thus the rumors were to be cut off. The Divan meeting was held on October 9. The question was how to hide the sultan’s death from the soldier. When the Divan came from the Janissary branch Ali Ağa with the instructions he received from the vizier, he said to the newcomers that the sultan “is Berhüdar and faces are blessed, they are blessed, they bring their comradeship to a good place. All tips and hicks will be given right away “. Then the horse ran to go to the hill, followed by the newcomers. Thus, the distribution of the janissaries gathered in front of the grave was ensured.

An end result

In the meantime, the news of Prince Selime was sent. The prince Selim completed the preparations and did not complete the journey from Kütahya. First came to Istanbul. He was declared the prince of Selim the prince who stayed in Istanbul for 3 days. Prince Selim later moved to Plovdiv and then to Belgrade. The Ottoman army also went from Zigetvar to Belgrade. When he was leaving for Belgrade, he was taken out of the place where his body was buried and put in a coffin and a car. After a while, Grand Vizier Sokullu Mehmet Pasha explained the death of the sultan when he came to safe lands. Then he gave orders and began to read the memories. The whole army started crying. The army left walking.

So Sokullu Mehmet Pasha addressed the army as follows: Brothers and sisters, why do not you walk. Let us send the annual Islamic sultan with the Qur’an. Gaza and Hungary made Islamic country. He fed us all in favor. Let’s not take the corpse on our head, our son Sultan Selim Khan sits in Belgrade for 17 days. Our late sultan has testified to you all your tips and hike. Do not stop the memories, the giant Koran.
