## Bio

Ahmed I became sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1603 at thirteen. For centuries, each new Ottoman ruler had executed his brothers to eliminate rivals; Ahmed refused, sparing his brother's life and ending a bloodstained custom. The decision reshaped succession for every sultan after him. During his fourteen-year reign he commissioned the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul, known now as the Blue Mosque, which still dominates the city's skyline. He died in 1617 at twenty-seven.
