Osman III ( ''‘Osmān-i sālis''; 2/3 January 1699 – 30 October 1757) was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1754 to 1757. ==Biography== The younger brother of Mahmud I (1730–54) and son of Mustafa II (1695–1703) and Valide Sultan Şehsuvar Sultan, he was born at Edirne Palace. His brief reign saw rising intolerance of non-Muslims (Christians and Jews being required to wear distinctive clothes or badges) and is also notable for a fire in Constantinople.〔''The Encyclopædia Britannica'', Vol.7, Edited by Hugh Chisholm, (1911), 3; ''Constantinople, the capital of the Turkish Empire...''〕〔(Britannica, Istanbul ):''When the Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923, the capital was moved to Ankara, and Constantinople was officially renamed Istanbul in 1930.''〕 His mother was Şehsuvar Sultan, a Serbian valide sultan. Osman III lived most of his life as a prisoner in the palace, and as a consequence on becoming Sultan he had some behavioural peculiarities. Unlike previous Sultans, he hated music, and banished all musicians from the palace. Also while living in the "kafes", the palace prison in the "harem", the part of the palace containing the women's quarters, he developed a dislike for female company. He would wear iron shoes in order to avoid encountering any women — they could hear him approach and disperse. He died at the Topkapı Palace, Constantinople. Osman was responsible for a firman in 1757, that preserved the Status Quo of various Holy Land sites for Christians, Muslims, and Jews. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Osman III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
