Yildirim Bayezid

Yıldırım Bayezid, fittingly named for his swift movements, was a sultan who moved quickly, reached everywhere, and had extremely high mobility. Living between 1354 and March 8, 1403, and reigning for a total of 14 years, Yıldırım Bayezid achieved a magnificent victory against the Crusaders in Niğbolu. Loved and respected by his close circle, Yıldırım Bayezid, who died at a young age, lost the battle against Timur, known for his atrocities, in Ankara, leading the Ottoman Empire into a period of civil strife. Experiencing the first betrayals in the Ottoman Empire but never losing his morale and completing his life for the sake of spreading the word of God, Yıldırım Bayezid’s life is full of lessons. In Cavit Ersen’s masterpiece, which is considered a masterpiece of his career, this novel also provides insights into the general situation of the Ottoman Empire before the conquests.
