20 yasinda Osmanli padisahi olan Sultan Ikinci Mehmed, Istanbul'u fethedip 1100 yillik Dogu Roma Imparatorlugunu ortadan kaldirarak Fatih ünvanini aldi. Hz.Muhammed'in (S.A.V) hadisi serifinde müjdeledigi Istanbul'un fethini gerçeklestiren büyük komutan olmayi da basaran Fatih Sultan Mehmed, yüksek yetenegi ve dehasiyla dost ve düsmanlarina gücünü kabul ettirmis bir Türk hükümdariydi. Orta Çag'i kapatip, Yeniçag'i açan Cihan Imparatoru Fatih Sultan Mehmed, Nikris hastaligindan dolayi 3 Mayis 1481 günü Maltepe'de vefat etti ve Fatih Camii'nin yanindaki Fatih Türbesi'ne defnedildi.Mehmed II was born in Edirne capital city of the Ottoman state, on March 30, 1432. His father was Sultan Murad II (1421–51) and his mother Huma Hatun was a daughter of Abd'Allah of Hum, Huma meaning a girl/woman from Hum. When Mehmed II was 11 years old he was sent to Amasya to govern and thus gain experience, as per the custom of Ottoman rulers before his time. After Murad II made peace with the Karaman Emirate in Anatolia in August 1444, he resigned the throne to his 12-year-old son Mehmed II.During his first reign, Mehmed II asked his father Murad II to reclaim the throne in anticipation of the Battle of Varna, but Murad II refused. Enraged at his father, who had long since retired to a contemplative life in southwestern Anatolia, Mehmed II wrote: "If you are the Sultan, come and lead your armies. If I am the Sultan I hereby order you to come and lead my armies." It was upon this letter that Murad II led the Ottoman army in the Battle of Varna in 1444. It is said Murad II's return was forced by Chandarli Khalil Pasha, the grand vizier of the time, who was not fond of Mehmed II's rule, since Mehmed II's teacher was influential on him and did not like Chandarli. Chandarli was later executed by Mehmed II during the siege of Constantinople on the grounds that he had been bribed by or had somehow helped the defenders.
