This study evaluates the usefulness in respect to an empirical case of three ideal types in Max Weber's sociology of rulership (Herrschaft): patrimonialism, sultanism, and bureaucracy. Through an investigation of major features of rulership relationships in the Ottoman Empire (1299-1918), the heuristic utility of Weber's ideal types accurately to conceptualize and define a particular case is assessed.
