Murad IV was the last Warrior Sultan who led campaigns in front of his army and fought on the battlefield. His physical strength was phenomenal, which is described in detail on the books of Evliya Çelebi. He was especially known for his exceptional strength in wrestling - capable of fighting several opponents at the same time. His favorite weapon was a huge mace, which, according to legend, he wielded effortlessly with a single hand despite it reportedly weighed 60 kilograms (132 lbs).[13] Among his other favorite weapons are a longbow and a large two-handed broadsword apparently weighing more than 50 kilograms (110 lbs), despite the fact that even the largest known swords (used for combat) rarely weigh more than 10 lbs, and ceremonial parade swords weighing more than 15 lbs are exceedingly rare.[14] His weapons are today displayed at the Topkapı Palace Museum in Fatih, intact and well preserved.

baloney. big time styley. Jesus christ, if we are going to take blatant, obvious propaganda/mythology as source, why even bother? Hercules was the strongest. I'm sure some village idiot said that genghis or alexander killed a million man alone with their pinky at some point, so let's take their word for that.

Gaius Julius Caesar would break the hip bone of a live ox with only his thump and index finger, but he never needed to show his dragonball tier strength because he was just that gifted at tactics. the daggers that stabbed him were laced with kryptonite

Mace thing maybe bullshit, but he was really strong. He killed assassins that targeting him with his bare hands.
>>
>>1202008
no, the mace thing DEFINITELY bullshit. Modern powerlifters with mutated growth, top of the line steroids, and top athletic scientists training their bodies would not come even close to swincing a mace like that. we are well into cartoon territory here.
He might have been strong, but he might also have not been. Did he start spreading propaganda about his powers because he was weak/insecure/a plain liar, or did he just play to his strengths and embrace/embellish local rumors about his power?
However you twist and turn it, no, he did not wield a mace like that, and no one in the history of humanity, or probably even gorillas, could do that well.

He also banned Alcohol throughout the empire. Then he'd sneak out at night in disguise, search for people who were drinking illegally, and personally behead them for their transgressions.

Good dude.
