Profile
Tenth and longest reigning Sultan in the history of the Ottoman Empire (1520-1566) and designated the "true caliph" of the Islamic world, Suleiman I was a truly remarkable figure commonly remembered as "Suleiman the Magnificent" for his many achievements or today in Turkey as "Kanuni" (or "Law Giver") for his transformational reforms to the Ottoman Empire's legal system. Suleiman I's most notable military achievements during his reign include the annexation of most of the Middle East during the Ottoman–Safavid War, which ultimately saw an expansion of the Empire's borders into large areas of North Africa as far west as Algeria, and the development of a mighty Ottoman Navy, which made the Empire the pre-eminent naval power in the Mediterranean, Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. The reign of Suleiman I was also highly distinguished in the area of culture and jurisprudence, by which he became known as a "mighty giver of laws, and the lofty avatar of kingship and inclusive justice in the eyes of his people and his ministers." The new laws in which Suleiman I had significant involvement in would go on to form the foundation of the Empire's legal system for many future generations. The Ottoman Empire also experienced a major cultural renaissance during Suleiman I's reign, perhaps partly inspired by his own love of and expertise in poetry.
