Abstract
Cem (Andrinopolis, 23-XII-1459-Naples, 25-11-1495) was the son of Ottoman king Mehmed the Conqueror. Remarkable poet, he is famous for the bloody dispute for the throne that he and his brotherBayecid maintained after their father's death. Guillaume Caoursin (Douai, 1430 ca. -1501), in his work "De casu Zizimi regis commentarium", tells about Prince Zizim's sad story and adventures, including battles, escapes and court atmosphere descriptions. This paper focuses on Zizim's biography and his physical and psychological portrait.
