Cem Sultan (1459–1495)

Born 1459 CE, died 1495 CE.

Cem Sultan (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈdʒem sulˈtaːn]; 22 December 1459 – 25 February 1495) was a claimant to the Ottoman throne in the 15th century. Cem was the third son of Sultan Mehmed II and a younger half-brother of Sultan Bayezid II, and thus a half-uncle of Sultan Selim I of the Ottoman Empire. After being defeated by Bayezid, Cem went into exile in Egypt and Europe, under the protection of the Mamluks, the Knights Hospitaller on the island of Rhodes, and ultimately the Pope.
