In 1676, after being commanded via letter to submit to Ottoman rule, the Zaporozhian Cossacks famously replied with a hilariously profane letter of refusal. Is there any record of how this insult was received by sultan Mehmed IV? Did he retaliate in any way?

A search will show there have been a couple of discussion of this legendary, perhaps mythical letter. A good one is here, with contributions from u/Chamboz and u/atarole .

But more could always be said.
