Fracticide Ottoman Selim II

Semasa pemerintahan Selim II amalan fracticide masih diteruskan. Kali ini anak-anak dan ahli keluarga Selim II pula yang menjadi mangsa. Petikan berikut di ambil dari satu laman online (link). Setakat mana betulnya fakta tersebut perlu bacaan lanjut:

Selim II opened the list of weak sultans – the lack of 'survival of the fittest' in the form of battles of brothers after the death of their father could be felt. The practice of murdering brothers was continued by successive rulers, until Mehmed III. When he took the throne in 1595 he ordered to kill his 19 brothers. It evoked such depressing impression that the same sultan changed the course of action towards his sons: instead of sending them to the country to learn how to rule, he ordered to keep them in closed pavilions of the castle harem, called kafes (cage). The dukes were forbidden to leave the kafes or conceive children. They lived in constant fear of execution, which favoured mental illnesses – and in the long run weakened the quality of the ruling sultans. The influence of the ruler's mother grew in power.

Selim II sendiri tidaklah terlibat dengan fracticide. Namun anak-anak Selim II ramai yang terbunuh. Mereka dibunuh oleh pengganti Selim II, Murad yang bimbang kepada ancaman adik beradik beliau

Five sons of Selim II, who have their sarcophagi in the mausoleum, were murdered on the night of their father's death. Their executions were made on orders of Selim's eldest son, Murad, to guarantee the seamless takeover of power in the Ottoman Empire.
