After the death of Selim I, Canberdi Gazali made himself independent ruler, but Aleppo refused to join him in his revolt. Suleiman's army killed Canberdi Gazali near Damascus on 27 January 1521.[1]

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]
