| ==Biography==

| The Sultan welcomed many escaped Jewish refugees from the Inquisition of [[Isabella I of Castile|Queen Isabella I]] in [[Spain]] and [[Manuel I of Portugal|King Manuel I]] in Portugal. The King of Spain, [[Ferdinand II of Aragon|Ferdinand II]] - under the influence of the [[Templars]] - tried to send his own agents with the refugees to infiltrate [[Constantinople]], but was foiled by the [[Italian Assassins]], who killed the agents and took their places.<ref name="ACPL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts (Project Legacy)|Contracts]]</ref>

| Sultan Bayezid II had originally chosen his son [[Ahmet]] as the next Sultan, but he soon faced fierce opposition from the Ottoman [[Janissaries]] who were supporting Bayezid's son Selim. Selim had secretly gained the Janissaries' support to aid him in his ascension to the throne, and so, he begun a tough war against his father in order to dethrone him from the title of Sultan. In 1512, Bayezid eventually handed over the throne to Selim instead of Ahmet, and Selim became the new Sultan of the Ottoman Empire.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>
