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 wear distinctive clothes or badges.
