Suleiman the Magnificent, who is known as the most respected sultan of the Ottoman Empire, was in power from 1520-1566. The empire included modern Turkey, Syria, Northern Iraq, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, the west coast of Arabia, and the Balkan territory of southeastern Europe. During his reign Suleiman added southern Iraq, Kuwait, the eastern coast of Arabia, most of North Africa, Hungary, and the Crimea.
Suleiman saw the value of intelligence gathering, and had numerous spies in place. Spies consisted of prominent merchants, personal physicians, Mullah’s, beggars, jugglers, illusions, prominent members of the Islamic community and even embassy employees.
