Sultan Mehmed Declares War on Pontus as Bayezid Defies Him in Mehmed: Fetihler Sultani

In the latest episode of the historical Turkish drama, Sultan Mehmed faces betrayal, political intrigue, and the launch of the great Pontus Campaign.

The tension rises in the Ottoman court as Mehmed: Fetihler Sultani delivers one of its most dramatic episodes yet. Sultan Mehmed, balancing between the empire’s survival and his son Bayezid’s future, is forced to make decisions that could alter history forever.

Karamanid Sultan İbrahim’s envoy, Ayvaz Bey, arrives in Edirne demanding Prince Bayezid’s surrender, citing the death of Julia as a cause for revenge. Threatening war if refused, the envoy sparks a chain of turmoil. In defiance of his father’s strict orders, Bayezid abandons his sancak, causing unrest across the palace and among the people. The young prince is captured and brought before the imperial council, leaving viewers wondering: What punishment will Mehmed hand down to his son?

At the same time, Pontus Emperor David Komnenos and his ally Pedri unite with the Karamanids to weaken the Ottomans from within. Exploiting Julia’s death as a rallying point, they attempt to provoke the Turkmen beys into rebellion. Ottoman commanders rush to suppress this conspiracy, while Mehmed turns his focus to a greater mystery—the resurfacing of a sacred icon hidden deep within Hagia Sophia. He dispatches Vlad and the Karatuğlar on a dangerous mission to Pontus to secure the relic.

Mehmed’s patience finally snaps when the Karamanid envoy pushes his threats too far. The Sultan orders his execution and commands the beginning of the Pontus Campaign, a decisive strike aimed at ending Rome’s remaining influence along the Black Sea coast.

This marks the beginning of a historic confrontation, as the Ottomans prepare for both internal upheaval and an external war against the last remnants of Byzantium.
