  The Ottomans had A LOT of talented rulers early on. &nbsp;They were fortunate in this area.

  Ottomans were very lucky in the sense of producing consecutive capable military leaders. Out of the first 10 Ottoman leaders 9 of them are definitely excellent marshals. Osman, Orhan, Murad I Hüdevandigar, Bayezid I the Thunderbolt, Mehmet I, Murad II, Mehmet II the Conquerer, Selim I the Grim and Suleyman I the Lawgiver have all almost exclusively dominated on the battlefield and shown high adaptability in terms of technology and administration as well. Early Ottoman dynasty is definitely an interesting family of the late middle ages.

  The Rise of the Ottomans is one of the most fascinating and interesting time in history, just 70 years before Genghis Khan died and his empire was divided. Which was one of the major reasons why the ottomans were able to rise as the sultanate of rum collapsed. The rise of Osman and the early ottoman expansion is very interesting to learn and then the smooth succession to Orhan his son and one of the rare instances when his brother Suleyman didn&apos;t divided the beylik among them and became the grand vizier (prime minister) reforming the ottoman military and administration is very interesting and fascinating to learn about.

  Weird comment, but being able to see the increase in video quality, editing, etc over time has been something of an honor. You don&apos;t exactly see it as it happens, but comparing this video to videos from just a couple of years ago... man. Thanks K&amp;G, keep doing what you do.

  Each of the names of 6 descendants of Oguz Kagan has a unique meaning of its own. Günhan (Lord of Sun), Ayhan (Lord of Moon), Yıldızhan (Lord of Star), Gökhan (Lord of Sky), Dağhan (Lord of mountain), Denizhan (Lord of sea)

  It’s really cool seeing these conquests happening on a fort by fort basis rather than on a larger scale. I wish there was a strategy game that worked on these scales.<br>Edit: To the people who recommended Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord I appreciate you. I got the game and it is exactly what I’m looking for.

  Söğüt was captured in 1231, next try for retake by Greece was failed in 1922. However the bulletholes are still there on the steel windows of the tomb of Ertuğrul Gazi

  For etymology enthusiasts: the word &quot;tekfur&quot; comes from the Middle Armenian word &quot;tagvor/թագւոր&quot; (in Modern Arm. &quot;թագավոր/tagavor&quot;) which means &quot;king&quot;, literally “crown bearer”. In the early Ottoman period, the word was used especially for the Byzantine governors and princes.
