Following the capture of Constantinople in 1453 (857 A.H.) by Mehmet II, the capital was transferred to this new city, and retained its status until the fall of the Empire. The 7th sultan of the Ottoman Empire and 4th son of Murad II, Mehmet II, known as the Conqueror, reigned twice. He first acceded to the throne at the age of 12 (in 1444) and remained on it until his 14th year, when he gave way to his father before resuming power in 1451 until his death in 1481. His conquests overcame the remnants of the Byzantine Empire: Constantine XI, the last Byzantine emperor, probably lost his life during the capture of Constantinople, the despotate of Morea fell in 1460, followed by the Empire of Trebizond the following year and finally the principality of Theodoros in 1475. The Greek territories thus remained under Muslim rule for the next 354 years. All these conquests gave the sultan total control over the Black Sea, the slave trade and the Silk Road.
