Mustafa IV

The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008

Mustafa IV 1778-1808, Ottoman sultan (1807-8), son of Abd al-Hamid I. He was raised to the throne by the reactionary Janissaries who had deposed Mustafa's cousin, Selim III , because they opposed his attempted reforms. When a Turkish army marched on the capital to restore Selim, Mustafa had him murdered, but the rebels killed Mustafa and placed his brother, Mahmud II, on the throne.
