The Brutal Story of The Ottoman Dynasty
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- This video describes the many fratracidal civil wars within the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman law of fratracide stated that only one male heir from the ottoman lineage could claim the throne of the Ottoman Empire. This tradition led to one of the most brutal stories ever to emerge from a royal family.

The real lesson here is when your brother becomes the Sultan its time to go for an extended vacation. And definitely dont respond to any invitations to the coronation dinner.
And never drink from the wine you find in the gifts sent from Istanbul🤢
@@historyrhymes1701 I thought at that time the Turks still called it Constantinople
Idk why more didn't do this since they knew what was probably coming. Maybe they were kept under house arrest?
@@qbpdnguyen2844Yea, they "kinda-turkified" it to Konstantiniye
@@owenb8636they had no power of their own, their bodyguards and servants obeyed the sultan.
And a historian lived that time wrote this sentence for Mehmet 3 who killed his 19 brothers: Our glorious sultan were so merciful, he send his 19 brothers to heaven.
And his son , Ahmed 1, didn't go his father Mehmet 3's funeral and said: Even if he is my father, a guy who killed his 19 brothers and 1 son for the sake of throne, is a murderer. And i don't join the murderers' funerals.
If im not mistaken, Ahmed 1 was a pious sultan who did not rule for long right?
@@iamleooooyeah he also stopped the killing your brother tradition
@@The.tribal.chef1 not that he stopped it rather was forced to, considering his young age and bad health it was not even known if he could even produce an heir hence his young brother was sparef
check your knowledge ottoman sultans rarely attend funreals of their predecessors.
@@muhammadpasha313he was not forced.
Bayazid: damn, I’m such a good conqueror.
Timur: I’m about to end this man’s whole career.
Uzbeks: I will end this man's lineage
To be fair TIMUR had bigger army then BAYAZID but I'ven then TIMUR won only wen the TURKS BEYLIKS betrayed BAYAZID
Bayezid was known to be extremely rude and aggressive. During his reign he had insulted and humiliated the Turkish aristocracy to a point where they had enough and switches sides during the battle.
@@gurkeschurke6667 So Timur killed them because they were traitors
@@islammehmeov2334 They had a roughly similar sized army with Timur's being slightly larger. The main difference at the start of the battle was that Timur was previously able to outmaneuver Bayezid and so his army is better rested and supplied compared to the Ottomans.

On the one hand, even a single battle in something like the War of the Roses would kill more people than all princes killed under this rule. So you could make an argument that this was less bloody than leaving many branches of the royal family who could later claim the throne.
On the other hand, you end up with princes growinf up in an environment where their closest kin must all be considered lethal threats, and a ruler who was the best at murdering his own relatives. One can imagine that does things to their mental state.
Apples to grapes
I am too stumped by the effectiveness of this brutal method by atheistic morality perspective.
Specially , it is the strong that rules , not weak who is run by fools.
Ultimately, republic system and global trade and cooperation is better and less bloody.
But America has a lot of blood on his hand as well.
So it is up in the air.
You are right actually. Royalty did their battle inside of the palace most of the time, so civil wars caused by the princes were lesser than the europe or east asia.
The great dilemma of dynasty. Many Turkish historians accept the fact that fratricide prevented many many loss of lives, first af all the 620 years of existing of the empire.
@@Ebu_Cehil_El-Fakbadi but they sure compensated internal stability with external warmongering. Basically the same, even worse.
As a Turk myself I'd like to add to the information given at 3:15. On Timur's Memluk Campaign the squabble had begun between two rulers, they've both literally traded barbs with one another, swearing at each other's wives, mothers and lineage and allegedly the Bayezid said that if any of them would not come to the battlefield their wives to be dismarried after the campaign Timur has first sent an ultimatum asking for the refugees (Kara Yusuf, Sultan Ahmet, ) that have fled from Timur's wrath after he conquered Syria and the vicinities on his earlier Memluk campaign (and the two was actually under the rule of Timurid Empire) and he also asked for Ottoman State to become one of his Vassals, and Bayezid to send one of his successors, to give Anatolian Beylik's back their territory, but the Sultan Bayezid sent him humiliating presents in return and the negotiations was officially ended. And also Timur knew that Bayezid was short-tempered, enthusiastic and powerful, so he has made his moves accordingly, eliminated the members of the defensive block (Memluk, Golden Horde), and he did not bury the whole populace, but to piss off The Ottomans and terrify the populace burned down the great city of Sivas and after his promising not to shed blood if they have surrendered, 4000 Armenian sipahi(castle defenders) that had successfully defended the city against him have surrendered and was buried alive and the Timur said: "I did not shed any blood"... And also they were not "outwitted by the enemy" but the Bey's betrayed Bayezid upon his taking their territory by force(cause he couldn't wait as I've said he was known to be short-tempered and actually fast as a thunderbolt) and Timur's promises to give it back, and on the battlefield even his sons have fled from the battlefield(because the dynasty would be extinct, they've all thought the same and eventually they've all fled) leaving him just by himself and with his Janissaries(palace guards for who doesn't know) he fought until the end and tried to escape at the last moment but that wasn't too successful...
Despot Stefan Lazarević stayed with Bayezid to near the end till he was ordered by Bayezid to leave .
TOP QUALITY CONTENT. UA-cam needs more unique creators like you coming with such unique topics
You should do also a video about the corruption of the Janissaries. These soldiers not only threatened the sultans starting from the 17th century but also became economic parasites on the Ottoman treasury and started some really messed up business practices, such as opening brothels with little boys for adult entertainment in Albania. Really wicked, disgusting stuff.
@@Tanaicus Well they fought better than praetorians but at the same time they were even more corrupted
@@heoknk3002to be fair, the praetorians really were more of a secret service than soldiers.

Generally speaking killing all those who could make a claim for the throne was the 2nd best option available for a prince because even if prince's brothers don't want the throne, discontent elements of society could proclaim one of them as their new sultan
1st best option would be to imprison all of them BUT this means that for the rest of your reign there will certainly be a few attempts to free them, so you'll hve to be looking over your shoulder for the rest of your reign
#be paranoid
And surely paranoia is not a good thing for a king
imprisinment was done as mentioned in this video and it turned out, as impemented by ottomans, as bad as than civil war. As explained in the video it produced incompetent rulers that ruined the empire.
The most insidious option would be to feign diplomacy, yet write into long legal frameworks the relinquishment of their claims to the throne.
Actually most reigning families in Europe could have succession without killing every siblings. Succession wars and murders were frequent in England, nearly non-existent in France. Problem with Osmanli was to have no elder rule, and to have scores of half-brothers due to the numerous concubines (wives were only 4). The killing rules gave the most ruthless leader, not the best one.
@@gengis737 Is there really a difference between the most ruthless and the best? A king is not all powerful, because his followers have to agree and there has to be powerful people the king delegates his power. A king can't stand alone. The person who can get the loyalty of the best troops, and implement the best plans is going to be the person who can run other parts of the state equally as well. It's why dictatorships always end in disaster, because the person in power has to keep the people under him happy, rather than the country happy, and often at the expense of the country they rule.
@@eddiek6390 I think that you explain the difference between ruthless and best better than me: the ruthless will bribe, make false promise, kill the more gifted. And get the throne in this game. The best would be chosen by his predecessor according to his abilities, sense of state, mental balance. Or simply, the leder would prevail, because a less than average king is much better than a succession war. The Osmanli rules created generations of psychotic and debauched rulers, the Empire only survived because of its combination of Turk militaries, Greek/Albanian administrators and engineers, Sunni population.
Kings have a 0% surviving rate. Or have you seen a king survive until this very day?

Temur attacking Bayazid was another extended form of fratricide so to speak. Central asians (Uzbek / Kazakhs) and Turks are of same ethnicity. If Temur went to China and Bayazid to Vienna - history could have turned out very differently. A big what if! Thanks for the amazing video.

Wish they apply this mechanic in CK3. Maybe a cultural aspect minimizing penalties for the fratricide status.
The Turks have constantly been an imperial people. They have made a habit of empire building, and although none of their structures have attained the imposing dimensions of the Mongol achievement, many of them have been far more lasting. The maps show at least a dozen states of the first rank which have been constructed by Turkish peoples, and another dozen built by Turkish leaders, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a military aristocracy of their own race.

Sounds worse than the Law of Fratricide
A minor mistake at 9:18. The Rhodes conquest was conducted by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, not by Sultan Yavuz Selim I. However, Sultan Yavuz Selim I had the intention to shift towards the conquest of Rhodes and he prepared for it, but he passed away and Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent took it over and conquered it in 1522
The campaign also convinced Süleyman that large-scale operations of this kind could not secure more territory for him under the existing conditions of trans portation and warfare. He therefore agreed to a peace, mediated by Poland: Ferdi nand recognized the sultan as "father and suzerain." accepted the grand vezir as "brother" and equal in rank, and abandoned his claims to rule in Hungary other than those border areas that he had occupied since the original Ottoman conquest.

In short, it is hard to think of any other ethnolinguistic entity in history that conquered so vast a territory and founded so many empires and states, also contributing to world civilizations. The history of the Turkic peoples was an important factor in world history for more than a millennium until the emergence of Europe as the world's dominant power. What happened in the Turkic world often affected the history of China, Central Asia, the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe. One may also argue that world history began with the "Turko-Mongol" empire created by Chinggis Khan. In the contemporary world, Turkic-speaking nations form six states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Turkey/Türkiye) and several "autonomous" units in Russia (the republics of Chuvash, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Altai, Khakassia, Tuva, and Sakha) and China (the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). Turkic peoples also reside as minority groups in several other countries, including Mongolia and Iran, among others. It would therefore be difficult to acquire a comprehensive understanding of world history as well as our present world without studying the history of the Turkic peoples.

Really Appreciate it lad
So basically the guy who became Sultan had the fastest horse, and the biggest balls
Wonder why the empire lasted so long
not always. most of the time you had to have armys beside you. first one to pull janissaries to his side,would win.
More like who ever had enough money to bribe the Janissaries became sultan.
key factor is being the first hear news of the sultan demise and delaying others from getting such news.
aka having the best intelligence agency.
Not uncommon among the ancient greeks as well, one kings answer to his sons question about the succession was the one with the sharpest sword
Love the pace and the accent of your voice. Very entertaining to hear and understand for non english speakers
This video definetly deserves atleast 1 million views. Excellent documentary that highlights the gruesome yet fascinating history of Ottomans and The Şehzades( Princes)
As far as I'm aware, Süleyman Çelebi was the one who was found in a bathhouse and murdered. I remember Halil İnalcık specifically reciting the documentations, he was having işret councils, probably already warn from fighting

For some reason, the people of the Nordic countries often term that state “angry like a Turk.”
The whole fratricide thing was started by sultan Bayezid Yildirim when he executed his brother Yakub Çelebi after the death od Murad I
Nope it started with bayezid father SULTAN MURAD I wen he killed his too brothers Sehzade Ibrahim and Sehzade Halil

Ottomans were not Muslim empire like today's world perdicts, they were Christians, jews, muslims mixed.Turkic lineage ended one's establishing state in Asia minor, to call Ottomans Muslims is to insult to religion it self.
No other ethnic group consider itself as Ottomans except the Turks and they were Muslims. All Christians living under the Ottoman rule were invaded and occupied by the Turks.
Not bad voice and has good production value in the videos. You could have the potential to be a sizable history channel, Good luck.
@1:40 I would like to correct that it was not a religious order nor it was being done for the last three hundred years rather the killings of the brothers were being done for the last two generations before him and two generations after him which ended by the time of Sultan Murad Khan nevertheless the killings were at highest during his reign. I would also like to add that it is a great historical depiction in a video format and the graphics are amazing.
Thank you sir. Technically you could say the tradition of fratricide began with Osman and his uncle . A bit of a stretch , but oh well
don't forget the dark history of crusaders and british empire
It was not a religious operation. It was purely pragmatic, death of 19 children is less bloodier and harmfull than a civil war caused by ambition for the throne .
Nice job with the video. The thumbnail is fire!

The thing about fratricide is although it’s bloody but it kept the empire stable.
True, but still unlawful, cruel and idiotic in the long run.
@@LinusIslamTips It was unlawful and cruel but definitely not idiotic in the long run. Ottoman empire is the prime example of this. When fratricide was present the empire was stable and growing. But after Sultan Ahmed broke the rule, the empire gradually declined. Though there were other reasons behind the decline but fratricide was definitely one of them.
@TruthSeeker8834 how many capable sultans got offed because of this practice? Wouldn't it be wiser to help their brothers catch and establish land of their own like the borders for example? So they would also act as a buffer and with help could expand furthermore?
It sure did . Don’t know about you but for me 600 years is quite long 😉
@@LinusIslamTipsLet’s ask the Frankish Empire and the Mongol Empire how that went.
Spoiler- more often than not, you create succession crisis and an aristocracy that doesn’t respect centralized rule.
The Ottomans during the 18th century were less reliant on strong sultans and more reliant on capable administrators who kept the machine ticking. Their worst crisis had more to do with the Janissary becoming corrupt and complacent than weak sultans.
Your voice is good , among the best..i like the deep and solemn voice .
Tbh the turks lived in a truly brutal period
Turkic and mongol states to the east, crusaders to the north and west
The ottomans honestly had their backs against the wall on all sides
Its probably what gave birth to the brutal Military Economy the turks made
It still kinda exists in turkey today tbh
They actually lived in a very good period, there are a series of lucky events that were very fortunate for them and allowed them to take over, such as the 4th crusade weakening the Byzantines and the black plague whipping out half of the Balkan population
Good point. Very few understands ottoman dilemmas. Ottoman military leaders are brilliant for centuries. They fight against heavily armoured knights at the east and religious fanatics, swift horse archers at the east, russians at the north, and to the africa. With limited resources and poor anatolian people.
@@theotheagendashill818You speak as if the black plague did not affect the Ottomans.These guys have literally grown from 400 horsemen to an empire on 3 continents and you seem to underestimate it!
@@theotheagendashill818Very true. Lucky turks. The turks were fighting constantly amongst themselves. Yet they faced no negative consequences because of that like the Persians or Byzantines. The Byzantines often lost territories in times of infighting.
After the fall of Anatolia, the turks just picked up the pieces and were surrounded by weak neighbours.
@@Icbinideifreulol
I am turk and yea most of this are true but i dont understand why you all see this something like bad ? They had 10 childs , most influential one or able to fight for his life lived. This just process of finding perfect sultan.
What of it? Thousands of Iives would have been lost if there had been a civil war. For stability of the realm that was a sacrifice and that is why the Ottomans reign so long. Well perhaps they though the life of thousands more worthy than a prince. And you did not say about the Prince Korkut who had a chance to work under his brother Selim and yet he betrayed him. And how are you?
Fratricide is a good law because it pushes the princes to get good education and it pushes them to seek more military knowledges, this also prevents in civil wars where the civilians suffer the most.
I thought i was subscribed to all the great history channels. I was wrong, but now I might be right again.
Guess the algorithm finally blessed you. The video quality is insane.
Être fort comme un Turc (‘to be strong like a turk’):
This expression originates in the 15th century when the Turks had a reputation for being strong, almost unbeatable warriors due to their numerous victories. At the time, the Ottoman Empire ruled large parts of south-east Europe, north Africa and western Asia. It is said that François I, King of France, was gifted Turkish armour by Suleiman the Magnificent (the tenth and most famous sultan of the Ottoman Empire) during their alliance. When he wore it, he is said to have exclaimed: “Here I am now, strong as a Turk!”.
Sa yine ben
they just continued the roman tradtion
Mehmed the Conqueror is the most famous sultan IMO
So??? It's obvious that he will praise them in return for the gift. It's a diplomacy not a fact.
In my country it s like an insult to call someone a turk. Like when you talk to so someone and they don t understand you ask them what are you , a turk?🤣🤣 but idk where that comes from because we dont really hate turks it might be a saying from times long gone

Thank you sir
This was a war between two Turkic empires. Because Timur was half-Turk and half mongol and The Timur empire people and the army were mostly Turkic clans, In central Asian Turkic people, some Turkic clans did not want him to be the head (Başbuğ) of all Turkic nations. But he was the choice. The Ottoman Turks did not want to recognize him and suffered the consequences. And other hand, another important point; Timur had not destroyed the Golden Horde state (This is a another Turkic empire in world history. They are Kipchak-Tatar Turks), there would have been no Russian empire in history. Undoubtedly, the Timur empire was a very powerful Turkic state. And for Golden Horde; The Russians would never have appeared on the stage of history.
Timur Türk idi. Bu sebeple emir ismini almıştı, Moğol kanı taşısa buna gerek kalmazdı.

Mate, killing brothers were necessary otherwise every brother might claim rights on the throne. I am not saying there are no alternatives but this was the safest option for sure. In order to rule an empire you need to make sacrifices
The reason why democracy is thought to be the best form of governance as compared to what we have had to date despite all of its short comings and the least efficent among all.
Democracy allowed power to transition from one party to another without the need to spill the blood of commoners.
Democracy became popular because it's the best way to include market economy. It has almost nothing to do with efficiency. When you really think about it, Soviet regime was helluva lot efficient too.
European feudal system also doesn't require one to murder all to gain succession, nor did the Turkish system used to demand it by law
Ottomans wanted to centralise the power of the empire to prevent being deposed.
how much you have grown, i'm proud 🇧🇬
It sounds pretty terrible to murder all of one's brothers, but the cost of a civil war would've been far, far worse.
Or you could just vote for a king like the Polish did. Almost as if hereditary absolute monarchy is a failure.
@@KasumiRINAThen the elected sultan would get murdered anyways. But in theory, it still sounds better than codified fratricide.
@KasumiRINA That system of Governance was associated with Mamluk States within the Islamic world, the House of Osman was a great house with a great history and they simply could not adopt the system of Governance used by states founded by unruly slaves who stabbed their masters in the back.

Netflix is not a place to look for history or knowledge, you should see their dramatization of Mehmet taking Constantinopel, while it is an entertaining "historical" drama all the "experts" in the series handily leave out most of these details of cruelty, and misses a bunch of history.
Don't you know that İf they don't do that all the brothers will seek the throne as theirs. And that is gonna resul in a civil war. Like after the battle of Ankara.
It is awfully wrong to call Timur a warlord. He was one of the greatest military geniuses and emperors that history ever recorded. He didn't lose even a single battle. In Turco-Mongolian nations, he is regarded at par with Genghis Khan. He was a ruler of a massive territory and several dozens of ethnic groups. He supported scientists and artist. During his time cities like Samarkand and Bukhara were leading the world in science, technology, architecture and city planning. The war in 1402 was unfortunate for Ottomans. If Bayazid hadn't openly insulted him, and wrote him an insulting letter, there wouldn't have been a war between the two Turkic empires, and the Ottoman expansion in Europe and Anatolia wouldn't have suffered a large blow.
bro he was an warlord xd im saying this as an turk who thinks highly of him.
@@randomguy-kn1wl I don't think that you know what warlord means. A warlord operates in a small region with some form of autonomy. They usually emerge in weak and failed states. They are usually used by the big states and empires. Timur is one of the greatest emperors and military geniuses that history has ever seen. Calling him a warlord is nothing less than calling him a thug or a bandit. If he is a warlord then so are Alexander the Great, Ceasar, Napoleon ...
@@atillakaragazi838 the people u named were warlords to some degree. alexander in his conquest was really cruel and he destroyed many cultures with it. napoleon is considered "evil" by britain and so on. ceaser was literally an tyrannt xd
