The sons of Suleiman the Magnificent, part one. Welcome back, this week I begin the story of two of the sons of Suleiman the Magnificent. For this episode I will be covering a lot of Suleiman's life first, since it is the overarching narrative of this story. I will cover two of his sons, Mustafa and Bayezid in the next two weeks.
