This time we are looking at Suleiman the Magnificent, one of the most formidable rulers of the sixteenth century. His expansion of the Ottoman Empire saw it at it's largest, stretching from Algeria to Hungary and onto the fringes of Persia.

Suleiman was also a feared ruler by his contemporaries in Europe, particularly Francis I of France, Henry VIII of England, and Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor.

His reign also saw huge cultural developments within the Ottoman Empire, including languages, poetry and the a boom in Ottoman architecture.

Suleiman also won numerous battles throughout is 45 year reign, and his influence stretched across 3 continents, from Istanbul to Indonesia.
