Achmet I (Ahmed) was the fourteenth Ottoman sultan, ruling from 1603 to 1617. Comparatively peace-loving, he settled hostilities with neighbors including the Hapsburgs and the Safavids. One of his most significant decisions changed the laws of succession by making the eldest prince heir to the throne. This shift deterred, to a degree, the established practice of a new sultan ordering the execution of his surviving brothers upon his ascension.
