Rechad Declared Twenty-Ninth Sultan of Othman Dynasty
Rechad, aged five, is described as the longest-serving male descendant of Othman and the twenty-ninth sultan. Since 1491, Abdul’s nephew Yussef Izzedla was favored by many as successor, but Turkish law requires the throne pass to the oldest direct descendant of Othman. Rechad, viewed as weak, has spent 25 years largely confined in the Yildiz Kiosk and is expected to bow to Young Turk pressures, lacking Abdul's craft and initiative.
