The Ottoman Empire has meanwhile heard nothing about Cesarini's invalidation of the treaty, and by the end of August 1444 the Karamanids had also been subdued, leaving Murad with the impression that his borders are secure.

He further plans that the favorable terms granted in both the Peace of Szeged and the settlement with Ibrahim of Karaman will cause a lasting peace.

Shortly after Ibrahim's submission, therefore, Murad abdicates in favor of Mehmed II, his twelve-year-old son, intending for his plans to allow a peaceful retirement in religious contemplation in southwest Anatolia.

Mehmed already shows the leadership qualities that are to distinguish his long reign, though at this time he relies primarily on devshirme supporters for advice and assistance.
