AHMED II. (1643-1695), sultan of Turkey, son of Sultan
Ibrahim, succeeded his brother Suleiman II. in 1691.
His chief merit was to confirm Mustafa Kuprili as grand
vizier. But a few weeks after his accession Turkey sustained
a crushing defeat at Slankamen from the Austrians under
Prince Louis of Baden and was driven from Hungary; during
the four years of his reign disaster followed on disaster,
and in 1695 Ahmed died, worn out by disease and sorrow.
