Preferred term

Süleyman the Magnificent  

Definition

  • Sultan Süleyman I of the Ottoman Empire In Europe, which trembled at the appearance of his armies more than once, Sultan Süleyman I was known as “the Magnificent.” Throughout the Islamic world, he was better known as Kanuni, “the Lawgiver,” and was believed to embody the highest principles of justice and harmony in a ruler. No model of leadership to be emulated today, Süleyman dealt harshly with those who opposed him and was obsessed with his ambition to become “Lord of the Age.” By force of will and his many accomplishments, Süleyman nevertheless deserves consideration as one of the great leaders of history.
