Mustafa I
Ottoman sultan
Also known as: Mustapha I
Mustafa I (born 1591, Manisa, Ottoman Empire [now in Turkey]—died Jan. 20, 1639, Constantinople [now Istanbul]) was an Ottoman sultan in 1617–18 and in 1622–23, a man of weak mental faculties who was deposed from the throne in 1618 but was reinstalled in 1622 by the Janissaries (elite troops), who dethroned Osman II.
Mustafa’s reign, under the influence of his mother, witnessed continuous interference of the Janissaries in the administration and a revolt in Anatolia of Abaza Mehmed Paşa, who sought to avenge Osman II’s death.
