'''Suleyman I, 'the magnificent'''' (1494-1566) was sultan of the [[Ottoman Empire]], 1520-66. His fleets dominated the [[Mediterranean Sea]] until they were defeated (after his death) at the [[Battle of Lepanto]] in 1571. He conquered large areas of [[Europe]], the [[Middle East]] and North [[Africa]], including [[Algiers]], [[Baghdad]] and [[Budapest]]. However, he failed to conquer [[Malta]]. He was known as ''Kanuni'' (the law-giver) for his reforms of the Ottoman legal system, especially of land ownership. He was also noted as a patron of the arts. [[category:Heads of State]]
