What happens
"Mehmed II was a centralizing monarch, who sought to expand his personal power within the Ottoman Empire at all costs. Near the end of his reign he sought to reduce the power of the ulema by rerouting revenues from the foundations (waqf) which supported them to the timar system instead, further strengthening the Ottoman army. This move, illegal under Islamic Law, caused widespread resentment and was quickly reversed by his son Bayezid upon Mehmed's death in 1481.
