In the course of his long reign, the empire expanded well into Southeastern Europe, Iraq, North Africa, and the Indian Ocean; governance grew increasingly professionalized and bureaucratized; and the Ottomans put forth credible claims for universal empire. His personal life was marked by a mixture of overt romance and tragedy, complete with an unstable inheritance from his father, unorthodox concubine marriage, two occasions where he ordered the execution of his own sons, his own dramatic death while on campaign, and an inauspicious transfer to his least beloved son. One of the giants of early modern monarchy, S\u00fcleyman, known as the \u201cLawgiver\u201d in the Islamic World and the \u201cMagnificient\u201d in the West, certainly lived a life worth inclusion as one of the greats.<\/p>\n<p>For further reading on S\u00fcleyman the Magnificent, see <a href=\"https:\/\/fredericksburg.com\/opinion\/great-lives-s-leyman-the-magnificent-an-enduring-legacy\/article_75a77a76-6567-578a-9987-18f0d319d7f2.html\"><em>an op-ed by Nabil Al-Tikriti<\/em><\/a>, published in the Free Lance-Star on January 24, 2021.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Nabil Al-Tikriti<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"131\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/11\/Nabil-Al-Tikriti-131x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" \/>\n<p>Nabil Al-Tikriti is Associate Professor of Middle East History at the University of Mary Washington.
