      From what Pachymeres wrote, about the only thing we can surmise of the Turk he called Ataman is that he was a warrior. With the Sangarius (Sakarya) River raids and the victory at Bapheus, Turkish warriors came from far and wide to join him.7 Ataman laid siege to Nicaea and, though he was not able to take the city, subjected the surrounding area to raids, killing many, taking some captive, the tur ish flood 9 and scattering the rest. He did take several other fortresses and fortified towns in the Sangarius valley, using them to store his plunder.

      Ibn Battuta claimed to have met Orhan, “the greatest of the kings of the Turkmens and the richest in wealth, lands and military forces.” Orhan “fought with the infidels continually,” and moved regularly between his more than one hundred castles, checking that they were in good repair, never staying more than a month in any one place.12 Ibn Battuta’s impression of Orhan as engaged in incessant combat is emphatically supported by Greek writers who left accounts.

    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'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.

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

    • @rafaelingarov9239
      @rafaelingarov9239 Před rokem +9

      The word "tekfur" originated from Turkic language and Low German (Low-Saxon) . "Tek" comes from Turkic meaning "entirely", "exclusively" and "Fur" comes from Low German Fürst (king/prince). The word Tekfur means the ONLY KING.

      @@rafaelingarov9239 sounds like horseshit. In all those years I have been reading into turkish and ottoman etymology, I never EVER encountered a word particle that originated from low-german. There's an influx of high-german (not low german) military terms into turkish in the late 19th century, but that's about it when it comes to german influence into turkish. But this explanation doesn't stop there - this obscure etymological particle that is nowhere else used in turkish, is, for whatever reason, combined with a turkic word. Turkic words and particles which survived into modern turkish language are very old, basic and "archaic" terms that are shared throughout turkic speaking regions, and thus predate even Arabic and Persian loanwoards. And this almost prehistoric syllable/word "tek" is now (13th century) combined with a title (Fürst) that gains its political significance as late as the the early modern age? BTW: the explanation of op is also the official one accepted within turkish literature.

Armenian "vor" comes from Proto Indo-European "bher" meaning "to bear, carry" and this means that it is cognate with Greek "phor" (as you have noticed), Latin "fer" (as in Lucifer, refer, confer etc.), English "to bear", Persian "بار/bar" (meaning "burden, load"). Since you have recognized Persian "taj", I suppose you may be familiar with Persian language, then you may know Persian word "باردار/bardar" which means "pregnant", literally meaning "burden carrying (person)", once again showing us cognate relation between Armenian "vor" and Persian "bar" :)

    Turkish historian Halil İnalcık says about Osman: Osman is a Turkish knight, that is, "Alp", not an ordinary sword-wielding militia. He is a master at using bows, arrows, spears, swords and horses. He is a strong warrior like his father Ertugrul. His comrades are also Alps. He personally fought in dozens of wars against Byzantium and Mongols. This is perhaps the biggest difference from the Ottoman sultans after him. Mehmet, Suleiman, Selim are great leaders, but their ancestor Osman is both a leader and a warrior. And it is not correct to draw him as an overweight religious scholar with a big beard, turban, in representational drawings, it would be more logical to draw him on a horse with his sword.

      @@user-xr2jt7ss4o I have watched that show and even though it's a good show, there are too many cheap approaches being made in terms of battles, especially in the 4th and 5th season. Majority of the castles that have been conquered are identical to one and other (maybe it's because the architecture could have been similar at the time, due to the geographical distances between each city/castle), and the Battle of Bapheus was a massive disappointment. Instead of showing a proper battle, the director somehow turned it into a beach fight, and then a forest fight sequence with less than 50 soldiers involved. It's more disappointing when you realise that they put more effort into some less known battle at the start of the second season, which was showcased properly, instead of such an important historically battle. They didn't even show the Battle of Dimbos lmao.
      Of course, when it comes to castle conquests, you can't expect to see every fort get conquered in the show, but the director missed out on conquering forts like Yarshisar, Karacahisar, and the conquests in season 4 and 5 were a joke, including the conquest of Kopruhisar, Lefke, Kestel, which were poorly made and looked as if they had barely any resistance. Not to mention that in the first season, the conquest of Kulucahisar was done historically incorrect in terms of the date of when it happened and because it was a day raid, instead of a night one. Though they did get the surprise attack part right, which is good. I really hope that at least more effort is going to be put into the conquest of Bursa, otherwise all this watching will just turn into a big disappointment.

Also he told me many of the Wallchian rullers we're raised by the Sultan to be loyal and pay tribute once they we're assigned to rule a wallachian province. One of them is Vlad the Impaler surely he choose not to pay later and attack turks but he didn't do much of damage in the long term. Being raised by the Sultan he knew how to fight Ottomans and that was not by face to face but surprise attacks from the woods. After many many wallachian rulers revolted against the Sultan he decided to replace them with greek fanariots to be more loyal

    Just mentioning this,Ertugrul's father's real name is Kunduz Alp not Suleyman Shah.
    It has been found in coins dating back to the period of sultan Orhan.
    It's unknown why the name suleiman Shah has been chosen for him.
    Most claim that this is another way of proving Ottoman legitimacy,by trying to trace their lineage to Suleyman Shah the conqueror of Anatolia during Seljuk times.
    But the actual reason is in fact unknown.

    Fun fact: Sultan means Emperor in Arabic, and Rûm means Rome. So, Sultanate of Rûm basically means The Roman Empire.

    10:33 Ayos Nicholayos = İnegöl, it must be the town's name not the leaders' name.
    11:00 Kalanos = Karaca, again the same thing. Town's name given as the commander's or Tekfur's name.
    Such small tribes were hiring by the local governors of Rome as sell swords so their loyality was questionable but not a big threat. In the beginning, so called ''Osman''s presence and actions, seen as a local dispute between local governors of Rome not as a independent venture. Osman's ability of intelligence, combined armies and coalesence with the local Tekfur's, such as ''Michael'' at 13:09, could be considered as a smoking gun of this view. We'll continue to see this patern up until the Murad I. After Murad I, this ''collaborative'' patern sits on a track as a state policy and leads the creation of ''Yeniçeri Ocağı'' and finds its place.

The pagans were definitely persecuted and repressed during Christian rule, but the decline of paganism was something that occurred for centuries. In fact the last Greek pagans who had no Christian ancestors were alive even during Basil II's reign.
