Mehmed IV wanted to live up to, and even surpass, the legacy of his forefather Mehmed II, who had secured the Ottomans' inheritance to the Roman Empire through his conquest of Constantinople.

Please let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed this, and we look forward to sharing the next one with you all.
