Ammon News - On 3 December, 1447 CE, the 8th Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II was born in Ottoman Demotika (located in modern-day Greece).

He was the eldest son and successor to the 8th Ottoman Sultan: Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople (Istanbul), and the father of the 9th Ottoman Sultan and 1st Ottoman Caliph: Yavuz Sultan Selim/Selim I.

He is most famously known for providing refuge to Andalusian Muslims & Jews fleeing the brutality and coercion of the new Catholic Spanish state (King Ferdinand of Aragon & Queen Isabella of Castile).

The painting of Bayezid II is from Seyyid Lokman Celebi's book titled "Kiyafetu'l-Insaniyye Fi Semaili'l-Osmaniyye" or "Human Physiognomy and the Disposition of the Ottomans".
