Osman 3
(1739- 1757) Ottoman sultan 1754-1757.
Osman was an insignificant ruler, who stayed in power for less than 3 years, from he was 15 until 18 years old. He is mainly noted for his strange attitudes; he hated music unlike the other sultans before and after him. He also wore iron shoes, in order to signal any woman in his way to disappear.
During his reign new regulations on Christians and Jews were imposed, commanding them to weak distinctive clothes or badges.
