Şehzade Bayezid (ota|شهزاده بايزيد; November 1612 - 27 July 1635) was an Ottoman prince and son of Sultan Ahmed I.
He was born to Ahmed I and an unknown concubine. He was a few months younger than his half-brother Şehzade Murad (future sultan Murad IV). When Ahmed died on 22 November 1617, he was placed in the Kafes with his half brothers Mehmed, Murad, Selim, Suleiman, Kasim and Ibrahim in unknown period during the reign of his uncle sultan Mustafa I and half brother Osman II. After Mustafa was deposed and replaced by Osman, his half-brother Mehmed was executed under the orders of Osman one year before being murdered by his enemies, which brought Mustafa once again to the throne. After Mustafa was deposed for a second time, Bayezid's half-brother Murad was placed in the throne before him due to being older by a few months. However, on 27 July 1635, he was executed along with his half-brothers Suleiman and Selim. The orders were carried out by Murad, because he had reason to believe that the Janissaries were about to rebel to overthrow him.
He was murdered under the orders of Murad, on 27 July 1635, in Topkapı Palace due to some rumors that Murad's enemies wanted Bayezid enthroned. He was buried in the Ahmed I Mausoleum, Sultan Ahmed Mosque.[2] [3]
