The History of the Life and Death of Sultan Solyman the Magnificent, Emperor of the Turks, and of His son Mustapha

AS the Town has been so agreeably entertaind with the Tragedy of Mustapha, written by the celebrated Author of Eurydice, and other valuable Pieces, I think it will not be amiss to give a short Account of the Life and Actions of Solyman, the Father of Mustapha, mixd with those of that unfortunate Prince, who gives Title to the Play.(2) Solyman the Magnificent, (Father to Mustapha, by a beautiful Circassian Slave, and Tzianger, by the ambitious Roxolana) was one of the most potent Princes of the Othoman Race: He was the Son of Selimus, who died in the midst of his Victories, upon the Road to Adrianople, of a Cancer in his Reins, in September 1520, when Charles V. was Emperor of Germany, Henry VIII. King of England, Francis I. King of France, James V. King of Scotland, and Leo X. Pope of Rome. At the Time of his Fathers Death, Solyman was at Magnesia(A), and receiving Notice of his Fathers Death from Ferhates Bassa, only, (as Selimus his Father had formerly attempted to poison him, fearing his amiable Qualities) gave little Credit to the Information: But when he received the Confirmation from Pyrrhus, and Mustapha, Bassas at Adrianople, he venturd to (3)Scutari(B), where he was met by the Aga of the Janizaries(C), and Numbers of the People, (yet ignorant of the Death of Selimus) from whence he was conducted over to Constantinople(D), where the Body of the Janizaries were prepard on the Shore to meet him. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
