Sultan Mahmud I had to fulfil the wills of rebels that enthroned himself. Most of the seaside houses or small palaces built in Ahmed III’s sultanate were burned or damaged by the wills of the rebels.

Civil servants were appointed by the influence of the rebels. But, most of them left their duties after they had acquired fetva (command) from the seyhulislam, that they would not be killed.

Patrona Halil who was the leader of the rebels had accepted the authority of Sultan Mahmud I. But, he wanted to interfere in the state affairs. He wanted the sultan to appoint him as the commander of the Yeniceri Corps and to declare war against Russia. Patrona Halil and his friends were caught and executed on 15^th November 1730.

The friends of Patrona Halil had revolted again with the fear of being killed. Sultan Mahmud I wanted help from people to stop the revolt. His people helped sultan as they were tired of the revolts and the revolt was pressed in a short time.
