The Pope’s arrival in Bosnia and Vlad’s continued treachery create multiple fronts, as Mehmet orchestrates a shadow play to control his court and military.

The Master Puppeteer at Work
What makes Mehmed Fetihler Sultanı Episode 67 fascinating isn’t the battlefield action—it’s watching Sultan Mehmet pull strings that nobody else can even see. While his advisors think they’re playing their own games, the Sultan is orchestrating everything from behind the scenes. It’s like watching a chess grandmaster playing against people who don’t realize they’re even in a match.
The episode reveals that Mehmet knew about Vlad’s betrayal all along. He knew Morena would warn Vlad. He knew Radu would try to save his brother. Every piece moved exactly where Mehmet wanted it to go.
Janissary Rebellion Shakes the Palace
The tension that’s been building in the Janissary corps finally explodes. Hüseyin Ağa’s harsh methods have pushed the soldiers to their breaking point. When Sultan Mehmet announces the traditional “çanak yağması” (bowl plunder ceremony) where soldiers receive rewards, the Janissaries refuse to accept.
This isn’t just about money or grievances. They’re directly challenging Mahmut Pasha’s authority as Grand Vizier. The soldiers gather in Cülus Square and openly declare they don’t want Mahmut Pasha in the sadaret position anymore. It’s a shocking moment—soldiers essentially demanding their Sultan fire his highest-ranking official.
But here’s the brilliant part: Mehmet orchestrated the whole thing. Ali Bey confirms that Zanos and Isak Pasha spread whispers among the troops, turning simmering discontent into open rebellion. Hüseyin thinks he’s serving Mahmut. Mahmut thinks Hüseyin is his loyal man. Neither realizes they’re both pawns in the Sultan’s larger game.
The Pope Arrives in Bosnia
While Constantinople deals with internal drama, Bosnia becomes the next major flashpoint. Pope arrives personally to bless Bosnia and solidify a Christian alliance against the Ottomans. This is unprecedented—Popes don’t typically travel to distant territories like this.
Princess Rose, despite her earlier cooperation with Mehmet against the Knights Templar, finds herself in an impossible position. Her mother, Queen Katerina, demands all Bogomils (a Christian sect considered heretical by Catholics) either convert to Catholicism or die. Rose even offers to be baptized Catholic herself if it saves innocent lives.
The ceremony at Saint Mary’s Church is loaded with symbolism. The Pope baptizes Bosnia with holy water, declares Vlad Tepeş excommunicated (officially cut off from the Church), and announces that Hungarian forces will join Bosnia against the Ottomans. Three bells ring: one for the Turks, one for the Bogomils, and one calling all Christians to holy war.
Vlad’s Twisted Redemption Attempt
The most dramatically ironic moment comes when Vlad saves the Pope’s life. A Bogomil disguised as a bell-ringer attempts to assassinate the Pope during the ceremony. Vlad stops the assassination, kills the would-be assassin, and presents himself as Bosnia’s savior.
It’s a calculated move. Vlad knows he’s lost favor with Mehmet and his position in Wallachia is shaky. By saving the Pope and positioning himself as indispensable to the Christian alliance, he’s trying to secure his future. The looks on everyone’s faces say it all—they hate him, but they need him.
Meanwhile, Vlad had sent Radu to Constantinople to beg Mehmet for forgiveness, fully expecting Mehmet to execute Radu as punishment for Vlad’s betrayals. But Mehmet saw through this too. He tells Radu exactly what Vlad’s plan was, forcing Radu to confront that his own brother tried to have him killed.
Mahmut Pasha’s Delicate Position
Mahmut Pasha finds himself walking a tightrope. The Janissaries openly reject him, Hüseyin Ağa’s brutal training methods are causing injuries and deaths, and now there’s a major campaign to prepare for Bosnia.
Isak Pasha suggests using the traditional “çanak yağması” to appease the troops—essentially buying their loyalty with gifts and money. Mahmut agrees and convinces the Sultan. But even this backfires when the soldiers refuse to accept, using the ceremony to air their grievances instead.
What Mahmut doesn’t know is that Sultan Mehmet wanted this to happen. By allowing the Janissaries to express dissatisfaction but ultimately maintaining control, Mehmet demonstrates both his soldiers’ loyalty to him personally and keeps Mahmut appropriately humbled.
East Turkestan Delegation
In a quieter but equally important subplot, a delegation from East Turkestan arrives in Constantinople. Led by the poet Alisher Navoi, they’ve traveled thousands of miles seeking not military aid or money, but something more precious: to be remembered.
They explain that Chinese forces are oppressing Turkic peoples in the east, but what they fear most isn’t death—it’s being forgotten by their Turkish brothers in the west. Sultan Mehmet promises that as long as Constantinople stands, East Turkestan will never be forgotten. He sends gifts and a letter of protection.
This scene beautifully captures one of the series’ recurring themes: the Ottoman Empire sees itself as protector of not just Muslims, but all Turkic peoples scattered across Asia.
Palace Intrigue: Gülşah and Lütfi
There’s unexpected comic relief when Sultan Mehmet decides to play matchmaker. He sends Gülşah Hatun to Karaman so she can visit family, but really it’s because she’s caught his attention and he’s trying to create distance. Reyhan notices and teases him mercilessly about it.
Then Mehmet decides to marry off Lütfi (his somewhat buffoonish but loyal servant) to Day Hatun. Lütfi is absolutely terrified. The contrast between Mehmet as the supreme political manipulator and Mehmet struggling with matters of the heart adds nice dimension to his character.
Doğan Pasha’s Humiliation
Doğan Pasha, who once held power in the Janissary corps, gets publicly stripped of his rank by Hüseyin Ağa. In a brutal ceremony, they remove his boots (symbolizing he can’t walk the sacred ground of the corps), his cap (the symbol of his rank), and tear his uniform.
It’s devastating to watch. Doğan’s brother Turgut gets his legs broken as punishment. Later, Mahmut Pasha secretly helps Doğan by making him a palace guard, but the damage is done. The Janissaries now see Hüseyin as a tyrant, and resentment builds toward both him and Mahmut Pasha.
