Nicknamed Yavuz, "the Brave," Selim I took power by dethroning his father and having him put to death, along with his brothers and cousins, as to avoid the possibility of reprisal or civil war. His greatest military achievement was the defeat of the Mamluk Sultanate, which he achieved at the Battles of Marj Dabiq and al-Raydaniyya. With power over Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, he declared himself the Servant of the Two Holy Shrines of Mecca and Medina, and took the title of Caliph. Selim I then waged war against Persia, again emerging victorious. He died of illness while preparing a campaign against Rhodes in 1520.

Use Selim I, the Brave, Servant of the Two Holy Shrines, to fight as only the faithful can, and secure eternal victory in the Anachronism arena.
