Overview
Sultan Murad II ibn Muhammad I, who came to the throne in 824 AH (1421 CE) after the death of his father Muhammad Celebi, when he was not yet eighteen. Al-Salabi describes him as fond of holy war, known for piety, justice and compassion. 1
His reign
He ended the rebellion of his uncle Mustafa, who had the support of the Byzantine emperor Manuel II. He then entered Thessalonica by force in March 1431 CE, and it became part of the state. He subjected Wallachia to an annual tribute. 1
He died in 855 AH (1451 CE), and was succeeded by his son Muhammad the Conqueror on 16 Muharram 855 AH. The Gregorian conversion is derived. 2
