Mehmed III was the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire reigning from 1595 until his death in 1603. His reign saw a long and arduous conflict with Austria and serious revolts in Anatolia.
Mehmed was born at the Manisa Palace on 26th May 1566, during the reign of his great-grandfather, Suleiman the Magnificent. He was the son of Murad III and Safiye Sultan, an Albanian from the Dukagjin highlands.
The major event of his reign was the Austro-Ottoman War in Hungary (1593–1606). Ottoman defeats in the war caused Mehmed III to take personal command of the army, the first sultan to do so since Suleiman I in 1566. Accompanied by the Sultan, the Ottomans conquered Eger in 1596.
