Selim II ( Ottoman Turkish: سليم ثانى, romanized: Selīm-i s ānī; Turkish: II. Selim; 28 May 1524 – 15 December 1574), also known as Selim the Blond ( Turkish: Sarı Selim) or Selim the Drunkard ( Sarhoş Selim ), was the sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1566 until his death in 1574.
Selim II reigned for only eight years, but he set the precedent for Ottoman rule for the next two centuries and the great Empire, the great Caliphate that stood as a lion before the advancing mercantile and military expansion against Europe, slowly crumbled under European pressure.
