The last Ottoman heir dies

This sequel to the award-winning Crown of Glory takes Napoleonic Grand Strategy to a whole new level. This represents a complete overhaul of the original release, including countless improvements and innovations ranging from detailed Naval combat and brigade-level Land combat to an improved AI, unit upgrades, a more detailed Strategic Map and a new simplified Economy option. More historical AND more fun than the original!

The last Ottoman heir dies

For those who missed the story:

It's amazing to me how many similar figures have been living in New York City for decades. Chiang Kai-shek's widow lived there for many years, too, and I know I've read obituaries of other ousted royal sorts who ended up there, living mostly obscure lives.

Thanks for the link-I missed that bit of news.
I have recently re-kindled an interest in the Ottoman Empire due to my exposure to a nearby game.

I think I misread the article a bit -- since a nephew is mentioned I don't think this was the last heir. Apparently the last one born while the Ottomans were still reigning, though.

I was going to say... very unusual for an entire family line to die out.

Especially when there was a state sponsored Harem for the Sultan.[;)]
