Muhammad II or Mehmet II (Muhammad the Conqueror), 1429–81, Ottoman sultan (1451–81), son and successor of Murad II. He is considered the true founder of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey). He completed the conquest of the Byzantine Empire by successfully storming (1453) Constantinople after a 50-day siege, for which he constructed the largest cannons the world had yet known. Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI fell in its defense. Muhammad moved his capital from Adrianople to Constantinople and restored the greatness of that city by settling there the populations of other conquered towns. To Greek and Armenian citizens of Constantinople he granted the privileges that they were to enjoy throughout Ottoman rule, including the freedom to practice Orthodox Eastern Christianity. The Church of Hagia Sophia became a mosque. Muhammad then conquered the Balkan Peninsula, taking Greece, Bosnia, and several Venetian possessions in the Aegean islands. The khan of Crimea became his ally and vassal. However, his further advance was checked at Belgrade by John Hunyadi, in Albania by Scanderbeg until 1478, and in Rhodes by the Knights Hospitalers under Aubusson. In Asia, Muhammad annexed the empire of Trebizond, ended most independent Turkish dynasties, and subdued the emirate of Karamania, putting to death its ruling family, who were Seljuk Turks. In 1480 he captured Otranto, in Italy, but the expedition had no results. Muhammad was a patron of learning and an accomplished linguist as well as a great commander. His son, Beyazid II, succeeded him. For a contemporary account of Muhammad II, see Kritoboulos, A History of Mehmed the Conqueror (tr. 1954).

He partied in Constantinople. The water to wine trick made him a huge hit with the youth there and several of his many children survived  and thrived there until the great plague of 1192.

I have to disagree in that Robin of Loxley was a returning Crusade Knight who as you know probably slaughtered many Muslims in his travels. His robbing from the rich and giving to the poor is Myth. He was mostly interested in getting his own expropriated property back from the usurper to the Crown while King Richard the Lion Hearted was being held hostage. Mohammed ( Peace be Upon him ) was a prophet, which is vastly different from the what so-called Robinhood was about.

Muhammad (, also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and formerly Mahomet, following the Latin) was an Arab religious and political leader and the final prophet of Islam. Islam is considered by Muslims to have existed prior to Muhammad, in the same tradition as Judaism and Christianity. Non-Muslims consider him the founder of Islam. According to traditional Muslim biographers, he was born c. 570 in Mecca (Makkah) and died June 8, 632 in Medina (Madinah); both Mecca and Medina are cities in the Arabian Peninsula. Because of his success in spreading the final word of Islam and being successful both politically and on many other levels, Muhammad is considered to be one of the most influential people of all time.____For more information go to the website below.

Because the Prophet Mohammed was Allah's Messenger of His Holy Word, the last of Allah's chosen prophets as cited in the Holy Qu'Ran.  The Prophet Mohammmed was Allah's  spiritually-perfect embodiment as Holy Messenger to faithfully deliver His Word through the Holy Q'uRan to over 1.2 billion adherents to Islam worldwide.

Muhammad was born around 570 C.E. in Mecca into the powerful Quraysh tribe and the respected Banu Hashim clan.  Muhammad was orphaned at a young age and so he had different caretakers throughout his formative years.  His father, Abdallah ibn Abd al-Muttalib, died before Muhammad was born and his mother Amina died when he was only six years old.  His grandfather Abd al-Muttalib took over his care, but died two years later.  From then on, Muhammad was cared for by his uncle Abu Talib.  \nMuhammad started out as a shepherd, but he eventually became a merchant.  In his twenties, he met Khadija, a wealthy widow, and became the manager of her caravan.  She was impressed with him because of his integrity and success as a merchant, so she proposed to him, and he accepted.  This marriage greatly improved Muhammad’s financial situation and may be considered somewhat of a turning point for him as up until that time he was a humble orphan.\nMuhammad grew to be concerned with some of the practices he observed among his fellow Arabs.  Some of the pre-Islamic Arabs buried infant girls alive, apparently to avert economic hardship and to avoid the risk of the daughter developing a bad reputation, which would be a scar on the family.  As an orphan, it is no wonder that Muhammad felt a special compassion for these infants, other orphans, widows, the poor, and other social outcasts.  \nMuhammad took to retreating on a regular basis to Mount Hira, where he would meditate inside of a cave.  It is here during one of these retreats that Muhammad the Prophet was born.  He began to receive revelations which frightened him terribly at first.  A voice told him that he was the messenger of God and eventually the presence revealed itself as the angel Gabriel.  Gabriel instructed Muhammad, “Recite!”  Muhammad objected that he was unable to recite, but when Gabriel insisted, he asked, “What shall I recite?”  Then Gabriel revealed to him the very first verses of what would come to be known as the Qur’an, meaning “recitation.”  Muhammad thereafter continued to receive verses until he died.\nHis wife Khadija believed in Muhammad’s message, and soon a few others also converted to the new religion of submission to Allah.  But by and large, in the early years of his Prophethood, the people of Mecca were angered by his teachings.  He criticized the religion of their fathers and had it not been for the protection of his uncle Abu Talib, Muhammad may have been greatly persecuted.  In fact the rest of the Muslims, who were mostly of lower classes, were persecuted to the extent that many emigrated to Abyssinia.  \nIn 619, Abu Talib died, leaving Muhammad without a protector.  His supportive wife Khadijah also died this same year.  These challenges and tragedies in his life did not deter the Prophet, and he continued to receive guidance from Allah.  In one of the most celebrated events of Muhammad’s life, he was sleeping near the Ka’ba when he saw the angel Gabriel come.  The angel cut Muhammad open, removed his heart and entrails, washed them in a golden basin, and placed them back into his body.  Then Gabriel brought Buraq, a magical horse, who took Muhammad on a journey through the sky to Jerusalem.  From there he was taken up through the seven heavens where he reached God Himself.  \nSome men from the city of Yathrib came to Mecca for the pilgrimage in 620, where they met Muhammad and were impressed with him.  They needed a strong leader who could arbitrate in their city, where the tribes were at war.  These men embraced Islam and invited Muhammad to be their leader.  In the year 622, several Muslims emigrated to Yathrib, which came to be known as Medina.  Muhammad himself escaped death to travel to Medina in that same year which was so pivotal that it marked the start of the Islamic calendar.  \nThis move was so important because it was in Medina that an authentic Muslim community, the umma could be established away from the danger of Mecca.

Question\nI'm trying to find on the Internet information of saint George his birth and death and other important dates through his history can you help please Tracey amas \n\n\nAnswer\nThis answer is posted on behalf of Philip.\nAlmost nothing at all is known about the person who we now call St George. He was a Roman, but we don’t know where in the Empire he came from. Not do we know when he was born. We do know he was probably of noble origins, and that he was put to death on 23 April 303, under orders from the Emperor Diocletian, in Nicomedia. Diocletian ordered a persecution of the Christians . The Roman soldier we now know as St Sebastian was also killed during Diocletian’s persecutions. I would suggest looking online using a search engine, for the search phrase ‘Diocletian persecution Christian’. This will give you much valuable background information about the times that St George lived in, even though it won’t tell you anything much in detail about the man himself.\n\nAnd that is really all that is known about St George.\n\nDuring the Middle Ages a mythology grew up around him, and many stories date from this late time period, but they have nothing much to do with the man as an historical figure. If you are interested in this side of things, then you could do a web search, and put in the search phrase ‘St George mythology’.

The Mughal Empire, (Persian: شاهان مغول) was an empire that at its greatest territorial extent ruled parts of what is today Afghanistan, Baluchistan and most of the Indian Subcontinent between 1526 and 1857. The empire was founded by the Timurid leader Babur in 1526, when he defeated Ibrahim Lodi, the last of the Delhi Sultans at the First Battle of Panipat. "Mughal" is the Persian word for "Mongol". The religion of the Mughals was Islam.

They differed on who inherited Mohammed's kingdom after he died. Some said Abu Bakr, and the others didn't. Do a word search on Abu Bakr.
