Sultan Murad IV, died in Constantinople at the age of 27 from cirrhosis of the liver in 1640. On his deathbed he ordered the execution of his brother Ibrahim (1640–48), which would have meant the end of the Ottoman line, but the order was not carried out. Murad possibly gave this order because he thought that Ibrahim, who was mentally ill, was not capable of being a good emperor.
WI the order was carried out Ibrahim was killed and Osmanli line extinguished?
Who gets the throne then? How is this altering History? Any thoughts?
