1511 CE

Bayezid II develops fears that Ahmet might in turn kill him to gain the throne and refuses to allow his son to enter Constantinople.

His grand vizier is absent, fighting the rebellion of the Shi'ite Turkmen followers of Shah Ismail, when bayezid surprised by his son and designated successor, Ahmed, who calls for his father’s abdication.

A threatened revolt by the Janissaries against Ahmed fails to materialize only by Bayezid’s refusal to abdicate.

Ahmed and his brother Kortud now attempt to gain power in Anatolia.
