Bajazet II, also known as Bayezid II and by his epithet Adli, meaning "the Just," was an influential Sultan of the Ottoman Empire who reigned from 1481 to 1512. Born around 1447, Bayezid II was the son of Mehmed the Conqueror, the Sultan renowned for capturing Constantinople in 1453. Bayezid II ascended to the throne following the death of his father, navigating a complex period marked by both internal strife and external challenges.

Bayezid II's reign was characterized by efforts to consolidate and stabilize the empire after the expansive and often tumultuous rule of his father. He is noted for his administrative reforms, which aimed to improve the efficiency and fairness of the Ottoman bureaucracy. His epithet "the Just" reflects his reputation for fairness and his commitment to justice within his realm. Bayezid II was also a patron of the arts and culture, fostering an environment where literature, architecture, and the sciences could flourish. His court became a center of intellectual and artistic activity, attracting scholars, poets, and artists from across the Islamic world.

One of the significant challenges of Bayezid II's reign was dealing with the aftermath of his father's conquests and the ongoing conflicts with neighboring states. He faced threats from the Mamluks in Egypt, the Safavids in Persia, and various European powers. Despite these challenges, Bayezid II managed to maintain the territorial integrity of the Ottoman Empire and even expanded its influence in certain regions.

Bayezid II's reign also saw significant naval developments, with the Ottoman fleet becoming a formidable force in the Mediterranean. This period marked the beginning of the empire's transformation into a major maritime power, which would later play a crucial role in its expansion and dominance.

In 1512, Bayezid II was deposed by his son, Selim I, who would go on to further expand the empire's territories. Bayezid II's legacy, however, remains significant for his contributions to the administrative and cultural foundations of the Ottoman state. He passed away shortly after his abdication, leaving behind a complex and enduring legacy.

The portrait of Bayezid II by John Young, created in 1808 as part of "A Series of Portraits of the Emperors of Turkey," captures the essence of this multifaceted ruler. The artwork is a testament to Bayezid II's enduring impact on the history and culture of the Ottoman Empire.
