Answer
Ahmed I broke the'rule of fratricide' in the Ottoman Empire. He was the eldest son of Mehmed III, who had ordered the execution of all of his younger brothers upon his ascension to the throne. Ahmed I, however, refused to do the same, allowing his brothers to live. This was a significant break with tradition, and it marked the beginning of a new era in Ottoman history.
