Sulayman II 1642–91, Ottoman sultan (1687–91), brother and successor of Muhammad IV to the throne of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). His grand vizier (chief executive officer), Mustafa KOprUlU, was at first successful in taking the offensive against the Austrians, but KOprUlU was killed shortly after Sulayman's death, in the battle of Slankamen (1691). Sulayman was succeeded by his brother, Ahmed II. See also Sulayman I.
