	Mehmed IV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sultan Mehmed IV Mehmed IV (also known as Dördüncü, "fourth", and Avci, "hunter") (January 2, 1642–1693) (Arabic: محمد الرابع) was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1648 to 1687.
		Kara Mustafa was strangled in Belgrade on Mehmed's orders and his head was placed on a column just outside the former palace in Edirne, but it was not enough to save the throne for the Sultan who was deposed and imprisoned at Edirne near his favourite hunting grounds.
		Mehmed's reign is notable in that it formally ended the era of Ottoman sultans as true rulers of the empire; in 1656 he signed away his executive powers to Mehmed Köprülü, thus ushering in the era of Grand Viziers as the real power behind the throne in Istanbul.

		The practice was abandoned in 1603; Mehmed III had left only two sons and there was a danger the house of Osman might die out—in 1640 there was only one male survivor of the Osman house and Ibrahim I was perforce chosen sultan despite doubts about his mental capacity.
		Mehmed IV (Muhammad IV) was known as “the Hunter” because he spent all his time amusing himself with this pastime, while his grand vizier led the empire to disaster.
		For example, Mehmed II spoke six languages, Selim I and Suleiman I were both notable poets in Persian, Murad IV and Selim III were well-informed about European affairs, and Ahmad III was a man of perhaps too exquisite sensibility, a patron of all the arts, and a devotee of the tulip.

		Mehmed IV and his mother returned to Istanbul to inspect the situation, and the sultan ordered the construction of a new harem building whose interior walls were entirely decorated with tiles.
		This was completed in 1668, but since Mehmed IV and his successors who reigned during the second half of the 17th century lived for the most part at Edirne Palace, the harem at Topkapi did not regain its importance until the reign of Ahmed III (1703-1730), a period popularly known as the Tulip Era.
		European baroque began to influence Turkish art and architecture at this time, and the Tulip Era is characterised by a new naturalistic style which is perhaps most strikingly exemplified by the painted wall decoration consisting of vases of flowers and plates of fruit in the Fruit Room of Ahmed III in the harem.

		This is quite feasible, since by then Mehmed IV had been on the throne for a whole decade, and as a reigning sultan would not have had to wait for legitimate liaisons.
		Since the death of Mehmed III in 1603, the Ottoman rule of succession had been moving from the winner-takes-all game of the 15th and 16th centuries not into primogeniture but into seniority, and rulership was being handed over "horizontally" among siblings, reverting only when these were exhausted to a "vertical" father-to-son pattern.
		This was how, on the basis of a couple of far older mecmuas, Yahya Kemal had narrated it to Örik : While the deposed Mehmed IV was living in the Topkap› "cage" (kafes) with his two sons, a concubine of the elder prince Mustafa became pregnant.
