Ottomans doesn’t know how to say “get out my house”

The campaign ended with disaster when the Swedish army suffered heavy losses to a Russian force more than twice its size at Poltava. Charles had been incapacitated by a wound prior to the battle, rendering him unable to take command. The defeat was followed by the Surrender at Perevolochna. Charles spent the following years in exile in the Ottoman Empire before returning to lead an assault on Norway, trying to evict the Danish king from the war once more in order to aim all his forces at the Russians.(from wikipedia)

Charles XII stayed in the Ottoman Empire for a few years. The people in the imperal palace(topkapı) had become so accustomed to him that they gave him the nickname “demirbaş”.In Turkish, “demirbaş” is a term that refers to something specific to a place, something indispensable, something included in the property of that building/place, etc. Which means they called him “Fixed assed” Karl.(from me)
