Abstract
ABSTRACT Though it had been within the boundaries of Ottoman State, not along the boundaries with the other countries, for the ancient ages, the Kayseri Castle preserved its significance. Since it was a kind of headquarters in which some official documents and also the treasure of the State were kept, the castles were one of the leading targets of the rebels in the course of history. In the period in which the Jelali rebellion was intensely keeping on, the public in Kayseri was badly affected with the revolt. Throughout this paper, the siege of Kayseri Castle, an important center in which some properties and monetary belonging to the voivode of Yenili were kept, by Kurd Mehmed Aga in 1651 and the effects of this uprising on the public in Kayseri has been discussed from an elaborate point of view.
Özet
Kayseri Kalesi eski tarihlerden itibaren Osmanlı devleti’nin iç sınırlarında olmasına rağmen önemini muhafaza eden bir kale idi. Devletin resmî evrak ve hazinenin muhafaza edildiği bir idarî merkez olması sebebiyle isyancıların başlıca hedeflerinden biri de kaleler olmuştur. Celalî isyanlarından yoğun şekilde sürdüğü dönemlerde Kayseri ve halkı bu isyandan ağır şekilde nasibini almıştır. Bu çalışmada 1651 yılında Yenili voyvodalığına ait mal ve paranın muhafaza edildiği Kayseri kalesinin Kürd Mehmed Ağa tarafından kuşatılması ve bu kuşatmanın halkın üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir.
