Episode 3: Murad I: The man who would lead the Ottomans into their age of Empire




The  History of the Ottoman Empire show

Summary: In this episode we I will be covering much of the rule of Murad I, the third Sultan of the Ottomans. I will be covering his early conquests in the Balkan Peninsula, and some reasons why the Ottomans found expansion so easy in the region. Lastly I will be covering the rebellion of Murad and the Byzantine emperor's sons and how the two leaders dealt with this betrayal. I would like to apologize now for all the butchery of Turkish and Greek names in this episode, but rest assured I have secured a linguist to help with future episodes. Thanks and I hope you enjoy!
