He was named heir to the throne in 1359 when his older brother S眉leyman Pasha died in a hunting accident. This year, he was the commander of the army in Rumelia. He took the throne as his father鈥檚 successor after he passed away the following year.

4. Suppressed the First Shahzade Revolts in Ottoman History

His two brothers, Ibrahim and Halil, rebelled against Sultan Murad I. This was because, according to ancient Turkish tradition, political power was regarded as the dynasty’s common property. As a result, Murad put an end to the first shahzade uprisings in Ottoman history.

Shahzade Bayezid, the son of Murad, married Devlet Hatun, the princess of the beylik of Germiyanids, in 1378. The bride gave the Ottomans the cities of K眉tahya, Tav艧anli, Emet, and Simav as dowry. In 1385, Shahzade Savc谋 Bey rebelled against his father in Bursa. On the Kete plain, he was defeated, taken prisoner, and executed.

5. Tolerated Islamic Religion

The Christian world was worried about the Ottoman Empire’s progress, which the Byzantine Empire was powerless to stop. The Serbians and Bulgarians did not appear to be able to resist it either. Venice’s interests in trade with the East were at stake if it started a conflict with the Ottomans.

The Hungarians, who desired to convert the Balkan people to Catholicism, would be the only force able to oppose them. In 1364, a reconnaissance force led by Ottoman commander Hac Ilbeyi annihilated the army assembled by the kings of Hungary and Serbia.

6. Many Wives and Children

His first wife, G眉l莽i莽ek Hatun, was Candarolu S眉leyman Bey’s daughter. Some sources claim that she was of Greek ancestry. Political considerations led him to marry Tamara, the sister of the Bulgarian King Ivan Shisman. He as well married Maria, a Byzantine Emperor and a Bulgarian Prince of Kyustendil鈥檚 daughter.

Sultan Bayezid I, Yah艧i Bey, Yakub Bey, Savc Bey, and Ibrahim Bey were his five sons. He also had four daughters, two of whom were married to Karamanid kings and one of them was to a Sarukhanid king.

7. Established the Former Osmanli Tribe into A Sultanate

By establishing a society and an administration in the newly conquered city of Adrianople, Murad I established the sultanate (Edirne in Turkish). He expanded the realm in Europe, bringing most of the Balkans under Ottoman rule and forcing the Byzantine emperor to pay him tribute.

The former Osmanli tribe was established into a sultanate by Murad. In 1363, he established the dev艧irme recruiting system, the janissary corps, and the title of sultan. He also established the two provinces of Anadolu (Anatolia) and Rumeli (Europe).

The Battle of Kosovo in 1389 saw Murad’s army triumph over Lazar’s Serbian Army and its allies. About when and how Murad I was killed, several accounts from various sources exist. The contemporary sources mainly noted that the battle took place and that both Prince Lazar and the Sultan lost their lives in the battle.

One story claim that Milos Obilic, a wounded Serbian knight who wished to meet Sultan Murad in person, stabbed and martyred him after the fight. Another claim is that during the first hours of the battle, Murad I was assassinated by Serbian nobleman and knight Milo拧 Obili膰 by knife.

Murad I’s (and Jakub Bey’s) assassination was detailed in a letter from the Florentine Senate to King Tvrtko I of Bosnia. This letter was dated October 20, 1389, and authored by Coluccio Salutati.

Twelve Serbian lords cut past the Ottoman defenses of Murad I. One of them, supposedly Obili膰, was able to enter the Sultan’s tent and stab him in the throat and the belly with a sword.
