Abstract

The topic of “fratricide” in the Ottoman Empire is an issue that thus far has received relatively little attention in scholarly research. Hardly any essay or monograph has dealt with this topic in its entirety. Only a few exceptions are known, but most of them are written in Turkish. In German historiography, this topic has been treated rather as a marginal phenomenon. This paper offers a presentation of the chronological sequence of fratricide in the Ottoman Empire. The most important works of Ottoman historiography from the 14th to the 18th centuries are the basis for the researching of this event history.
