"You know, Isa. I know that after your father died, you have walked from court to court, and from humilliating defeat into humilliating defeat. You have lost all the armies you have commanded. But... what the hell. I kind of like you. Have another army. Just don't break it like the other ones!"

Your early Ottoman history videos are much appreciated! Especially for a Bulgarian from Thrace. An often ignored period in our history. 🙏

This is the least mentioned Ottoman history part in Turkish schools. It's only "after 1402 there was 11 years of civil war and Mehmet çelebi gained power". Details of the civil war and remaining years of his reign is unknown for most of the Turks.

I really appreciate the effort and your work. Thanks for the video!

This is a real unicorn of a Kings and Generals video: it's about the Ottoman Civil War AND contains the phrase "died of natural causes." I never thought I'd see the day!

[ronjohnson]

What a fascinating time. And how quickly the Ottomans recovered (granted the spent their strength fighting among themselves) after Timur.

[HarisWoodshop]

This video is very well put together. As a Turk reading Turkish history for years, I’d like to thank you.

[marcomilani]

A civil war I did not know about in detail, wel summarized. A pity we don't get to see some details on the most important battles

[nenenindonu]

Evrenos Bey, an Ottoman general who had served the dynasty since the foundation of the empire also escaped from prince Musa and joined forces with Mehmed I

[hyperspce]

God, Ottoman history is just so interesting and fun to learn about. I love it!

[apollosdomain]

I can’t imagine, what was Emperor Manuel was going through during this turbulent time, constantly changing his allegiances from one prince to another and agreeing to all the new and different treaties.

[hakancentoglu]

He is also known as "the second founderer of the Empire".

[kmmmsyr]

Fun fact: Ottoman princes are named after prophets.
Mehmed: Mohammad
İsa: Jesus
Musa: Moses
Süleyman: Solomon
Mustafa: Another name of Mohammad

[fusionfall]

This+2nd Crusade+Wars of the Diadochi, you guys are on fire with interesting history.

[FutureMythology]

Your videos on early Ottoman history are tremendously appreciated. In particular, for a Bulgarian native of Thrace. A historic era that is frequently disregarded.

[darrylerren]

The sons of Bayezid are named after religious prophets.
Mehmed: Muhammad
Isa: Jesus
Musa: Moses
Suleyman: Solomon
Mustafa: Epithet of Muhammad

Refering to the fratricide family tree, Murad's elder brother was Suleyman. In sources like von Hammer, Suleyman was the favorite one for the day to ascend to the throne would come. However, he was killed in a hunting accident and left Murad to fight his little brother Halil.

Being the elder one left might be a legitimacy winner for Europe in that age, it didn't work like that in the east, though. Fratricide as a practice entered the law during the reign of Mehmed II, being the grandson of the first. A couple of generations later, might-be-heirs grew up in the palace in Constatinople. Many of them never left the quarters or at least alive, anyhow.

Happy to contribute, keep it coming!

2:49 - Your visual description of Albanian lords and their tribes is VERY ACCURATE. Amazing channel, congratulations.

[denizucar]

Would be phantastic if you could make a video about Phromo Kesaro and the Turk Shahis.

Or the Turkic army corps of the Abbasid dynasty is a very underrated piece of history, too. A detailed listing of the intrigues during that time would be a PIECE OF ART.

Note: After Ertuğrul's death, Osman's younger uncle, Haji Bektash Veli, became Bey, according to stories found in the book Vilayetname. Around that period, Osman and a few other fighters began planning raids on the Byzantine territories that bordered Söğüt, including Yarhisar, Bilecik, İnegöl, and İznik. Provoked as a result, the Byzantine Tekfur (governor) of Bursa complained about these ongoing attacks and sent envoys to the Seljuk Sultan Alâeddin Kayqubad III.
