Following up on this discussion, let's say Murad IV does kill Ibrahim in 1640. There is no remaining male Ottoman, so Constantinople invites the Khan of Crimea to take the throne.

The khan in question is Bahadir I Giray. There's very little information about him online (he doesn't even have a Wikipedia article), but what I've found:
  • He was taken into the Ottoman Empire as a hostage while he was still a little boy. He lived in Yambol, Bulgaria, until his father died in 1637 and he was crowned as khan in Crimea. So Bahadir is probably very well-acquainted with elite Ottoman culture, if not Constantinople itself.
  • He died of the Black Death in 1641 while besieging the Cossacks in Azov. This does provide a nice contrast with later Ottoman sultans, most of whom lived in their palaces and almost never actually fought in wars.
Let's say the khan is crowned as Sultan Bahadir I in the summer of 1640. What now?
