6 1559 Konya Revolt by his son Şehzade Beyazıt. Prince Şehzade Beyazıt was jealous of his brother Selim II.[2] As a consequence of his jealousy, Beyazıt raised the revolt at Konya (Konish).[2] Suleiman made preparations for a campaign against his son Beyazıt, but he renounced campaigning upon the latter's retreat to Persia.[2] Tahmasp I eventually sold Beyazıt and his children to the emissary of Selim, by whom they were tortured and killed.[1][2]
