Gundogdu & Sungurtekin They did not support Ertugrul’s path and as we know, and over time faded in history. They lived a quiet and unremarkable life, not much is known or written about them. There are only verbal accounts, which were told by people through generations. According to that, they suffered big losses during a great Mongol invasion, and what was left of them, they lived subserviently under the Mongol’s rule. lamic History Project ARTICLES ABOUT US CONTACT US Search Home   »   Articles   »   Ottoman   »   The Real History of Ertugrul The Real History of Ertugrul by  Nafisah Kara | Published  30th July 2018 | 280 Comments Who knew that one TV show could enlighten us in so many ways!

There is information and historical facts about him that are kept in Turkish archives, within Ibn Arabi’s chronologies, in Western archives about Templars, in Byz...

Biography Nothing is known with certainty about Ertuğrul's life, other than that he was the father of Osman; historians are thus forced to rely upon stories written about him by the Ottomans more than a century later, which are of questionable accuracy. [7] [8]  An undated coin, supposedly from the time of Osman, with the text "Minted by Osman son of Ertuğrul", suggests that Ertuğrul was a historical figure. [4] :31  Another coin reads "Osman bin Ertuğrul bin Gündüz Alp", [1] [2]  though Ertuğrul is traditionally considered the son of Suleyman Shah. [6] In  Enveri 's  Düsturname  (1465) and  Karamani Mehmet Pasha 's chronicle (before 1481), Suleyman Shah replaces Gündüz Alp as Ertugrul's father. After [ when? ]  Ottoman historian  Aşıkpaşazade 's chronicles, the Suleyman Shah version became the official one. [9]  According to these later traditions, Ertuğrul was chief of the Kayı. [3]  As a result of his assistance to the Seljuks ag...

BRITANNICA QUIZ Emperors, Conquerors, and Men of War: Fact or Fiction? Napoleon Bonaparte was nicknamed the Sun King. Osman was descended from the Kayı branch of the  Oğuz  Turkmen. His father,  Ertugrul, had established a principality centred at  Sögüt . With Sögüt as their base, Osman and the Muslim frontier warriors ( Ghazis ) under his command waged a slow and stubborn conflict against the  Byzantines , who sought to defend their territories in the hinterland of the Asiatic shore opposite Constantinople (now Istanbul). Osman gradually extended his control over several former  Byzantine  fortresses, including  Yenişehir, which provided the Ottomans with a strong base to lay siege to  Bursa  and  Nicaea  (now İznik), in northwestern Anatolia. Osman was succeded by his son  Orhan , who captured Bursa on April 6, 1326. Ottoman tradition holds that Osman died just after the capture of Bursa, but some scholars have argued th...
