Korkut (1467 – 13 March 1513) was the third son of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid II, and a brother to Selim and Ahmet.
In 1511, he was captured by Templar thugs in Bursa, but was rescued by an Ottoman Assassin sent from Constantinople by the Italian Assassin Mentor Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
Sometime later, he called together a meeting with the Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Qansuh al-Ghawri, though this also caught the attention of the Ottoman Assassins, who investigated the assembly on the orders of Ezio.
Selim I became the new sultan in 1512. Korkut readily accepted his brother's reign. Nevertheless, a distrustful Selim decided to test his loyalty by sending him fake letters from various bureaucrats of the empire that attempted to encourage him to take part in a rebellion against Selim. Feeling that Korkut was preparing to revolt, Selim had Korkut executed in 1513 near Emet (around Kütahya in Turkey). He was buried in Bursa.
