Korkut (1467- 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 Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

Biography

Early life

He was born in Amasya (in Turkey) in 1467. There is no consensus on the name of his mother. She was either a certain Nigar Khatun or Gülbahar Sultan. If the later is true, he was the full brother of Selim I (the inflexible). When his grandfather Mehmet II (the conqueror) died in 1481, he was the oldest Ottoman prince residing in İstanbul. So he was the regent for 18 days before his father Beyazıt II arrived in İstanbul. [1]
