[0:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=7) In the east, Fatih has only one rival left. [0:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=10) Uzun Hasan, ruler of the Aq Qoyunlu. At Otlukbeli, Ottoman cannons speak, and Uzun Hasan suffers a crushing defeat. [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=18) After the defeat, his eldest son, Uğurlu Mehmet, rebels against his own father. [0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=23) The rebellion is put down. Uğurlu has only one place left to turn. [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=27) His father's greatest enemy. Fatih does not punish this prince, who fought against him at Otlukbeli. [0:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=34) He welcomes him into his palace and marries him to his daughter, Gevherhan Sultan and makes him governor of Sivas. [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=39) For Fatih, this son-in-law is a bargaining chip. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=42) When Uzun Hasan dies, his own son- in- law will take the Aq Qoyunlu throne. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=47) One winter's day, news reaches Sivas. Uzun Hasan is dead. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=51) Uğurlu sets out at once to claim the throne. [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=54) He reaches Erzincan and is killed there. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=57) Yet Uzun Hasan is still alive that day. In fact, he has only a few weeks left to live. [1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=62) According to the sources, his death is the result of a plot devised by his stepmother, Selçuk Şah Begüm. [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=68) A small child is left behind. Ahmet. His father is Uzun Hasan's son, and his mother is Fatih's daughter. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=75) In other words, the grandson shared by two enemies. [1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=77) Fatih has him brought to Istanbul. The child grows up in the Ottoman palace. [1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=81) Because he is short, they call him Göde Ahmet. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=85) Then he marries his uncle Sultan Bayezid's daughter. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=88) Twenty years later, the Akkoyunlu lords write to him. [1:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=91) They summon him to the throne. In 1497, Göde Ahmet sits on his grandfather Uzun Hasan's throne in Tabriz. [1:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=99) The reckoning Fatih couldn't settle with his son- in- law comes true through his grandson. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=103) But Göde Ahmet tries to rule the Akkoyunlu like an Ottoman. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=107) He abolishes some twenty taxes that have no place in Sharia, and takes back the lords' lands. [1:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=112) The beys rise up. He is killed near Isfahan that winter. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=117) His reign doesn't even last a year. But the story doesn't end here. [2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=122) Şah Ismail is the grandson born to Uzun Hasan's daughter. [2:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=125) Yavuz Sultan Selim is the grandson born to Fatih's son. [2:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=129) The two rulers who met at Çaldıran in 1514 were Göde Ahmet's cousins. [2:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=135) The grandsons carried on their grandfathers' war. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=138) Göde Ahmet's mother, Gevherhan Sultan, still lies today in her mother's tomb, in the courtyard of the Fatih Mosque. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=145) Do you think Göde Ahmet was an Ottoman or an Akkoyunlu? [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/OLFZ6THNM2t2/en/g%C3%B6de-ahmed-the-grandson-of-mehmed-ii-and-uzun-hasan?t=150) Two enemies were parted by war, while one child brought them together.
