IV Mehmed (Ottoman: محمد رابع, romanized: Mehmed-i Râbi') or Mehmed the Hunter (January 2, 1642, Istanbul – January 6, 1693, Edirne) was the 19th Ottoman Sultan and the 98th Islamic Caliph. He is the son of Sultan İbrahim from Hatice Turhan Sultan. After his father's dethronement, he ascended the throne in 1648 at the age of six as the youngest sultan. Because of his love of hunting, he was nicknamed “Mehmed the Hunter”. With his reign of 39-year, he is the longest-reigning Ottoman sultan after Süleyman the Magnificent. During his reign the greatest frontiers in the West were reached.
