Everything about Osman Iii totally explained
Osman III or
Othman III (
Ottoman Turkish: عثمان ثالث
‘Osmān-i sālis)
(January 2, 1699 – October 30, 1757) was the
Sultan of the
Ottoman Empire from
1754 to
1757.
The younger brother of
Mahmud I (1730–54) and son of
Mustafa II (1695–1703), Osman III was a generally insignificant prince. His brief reign is notable for a rising intolerance of non-Muslims (
Christians and
Jews being required to wear distinctive clothes or badges) and for a fire in
Istanbul.
Osman III lived most of his life as a prisoner in the Palace, and so upon becoming Sultan he'd some behavioral peculiarities. Unlike previous Sultans, he hated music, and sent all musicians out of the palace. Also living in the "
kafes", the palace prison in the "
harem" which was the part of the palace containing women's quarters, he grew a dislike for women's companionship. Therefore he'd wear iron shoes in order to not cross paths with any women, and by wearing such shoes they could hear him approach and disperse.
