From epic poem by Christianus Schesaeus
written in 1571 - source online
Note: There more than likely many OCR errors.
Also, since I do not read Latin I can't tell which letter is a modern V and which is U.

Death of Suleiman - September 1566
Death of Suleiman
by
Zeljko Zidaric, October 2017
Opening
thoughts
Of all the events at the siege of Siget the
most confusing is the death of sultan Suleiman.
There are many accounts on when he died and how (from what). The reason for the speculation is that
Suleiman's death was kept a secret and then more than likely fictionalized by
the grand vizier Sokolovic for political purposes. The two main chroniclers,
Feridun Ahmed-bey[1]
and Mustafa Selaniki[2],
were both subordinates of the grand vizier, dependent on him for their careers
and complicit in the conspiracy to cover up the death of the sultan and then create
an official history[3]
that was favorable to Sokolovic's agenda.
