Saadet had been nureddin under his cousin Murad Giray who ruled between the first and second reigns of Selim I.
Saadet, who was in Istanbul at this time, was immediately ordered to raise an army to fight the Austrians.
He marched up the west shore of the Black Sea and forced the reluctant Budjak Horde to join him.
Due to overlong preparations he arrived late at the Battle of Slankamen (19 August 1691) where the Turks were defeated.
He was removed from office in December and exiled to Yambol in Bulgaria, and later to Rhodes (an Aegean island), where he died.
