Mehmed IV Giray

The campaign was led by the Egyptian Pasha and accompanied by the famous traveler Evliya Çelebi.

Mehmed's brother Islyam complained to the Sultan that he had a better claim because he was older and had been kalga under Bahadir, but nothing was done.

[1]) The Turkish governor of Kaffa complained that Mehmed had ravaged Circassia without proper authorization, so he was deposed and replaced by his brother Islyam.

(Gazi had been kalga under Islyam and also during Mehmed's first reign) When Adil was killed by a fall from a horse, Murad became nureddin.

There was a quarrel between the Mansur and Shirin clans which seems to have been solved by Adil's death, Most of his reign involved the Polish war (below).

In 1666[2] Mehmed was deposed because he had sent his son, rather than himself, to Hungary to fight the Hapsburgs and because he had attacked the 'Nogais of Bessarabia' (apparently the Budjak Horde).

Just before Mehmed came to the throne, Russia allied with the rebellious Cossacks, thereby provoking the Russo-Polish War (1654–1667).

The Cossacks raided Poland and returning, had an inconclusive conference with Mehmed on the Oserna River.

Martyn Pushkar rebelled against the new pro-Polish hetman Vygotsky and drowned his envoys to Crimea in the Dnieper.

[6] In 1661 the Tatars were again in Transylvania where they defeated John Kemény (prince) who had supported Rakoczi and now rebelled against the Turks.

One of his wives were Emine Sultan Biyim, who are one of only three women known to have played a political role in the Crimean Khanate.
