The pen that built a world inside a cage
This episode explores the life of Ahmed III, an Ottoman prince who spent sixteen years in the Kafes, a section of the Topkapı Palace. It delves into the profound question of what a person becomes when their entire world is a prison, and what they then pass on.
Person: Ahmed III
Period: 1673-1703 (confinement), 1703-1730 (reign)
Location: Topkapı Palace, Istanbul
Event: Janissary revolts
Topic: Ottoman succession
- Ahmed III was placed in the Kafes, a system designed to keep Ottoman princes alive but away from power, at a young age by his father, Ahmed III.
- The Kafes was considered a humane alternative to the previous practice of fratricide, where new sultans would execute male relatives.
- During his confinement, Ahmed III dedicated himself to the study of calligraphy, becoming a student of Hafız Osman Efendi.
- He cultivated an interior world of refinement through study and practice, despite having no guarantee of release from the Kafes.
- Ahmed III became the 27th sultan of the Ottoman Empire in 1703 after a janissary revolt deposed his brother, Mustafa II.
