The Attack on Suleiman I was an event that occured during 1511, in which Ezio Auditore da Firenze and members of the Constantinople Guild of Assassins infiltrated the cultural exposition at Topkapı Palace, in order to protect Prince Suleiman from Byzantine assassins.

Acquiring the disguises
After hearing of a Masyaf key found underneath Topkapı Palace, Ezio wished to make a contact within the Ottoman court, in order to further his search for Masyaf keys. Meeting Yusuf Tazim, along with other Assassins, at the Hippodrome, he tells Ezio of Byzantine Templars planning to infilitrate Topkapı Palace and assassinate Prince Suleiman I. Though initally reluctant to let Ezio participate in the rescue, Yusuf eventually tells him of their plan to dress as minstrels and infiltrate the palace themselves. Hearing of Italian minstrels already at Topkapı Palace, the Assassins made their way across the Imperial District's rooftops, and, upon reaching the palace, began their search for the minstrels. Eventually finding them, Ezio and the Assassins silently rendered every one of them unconcious and hid the bodies in nearby hay stacks.
