Summary
Süleyman Çelebi, the eldest of Bayezid I's five sons, survived the Ankara disaster of 804/1402, made for Edirne and proclaimed himself sultan — ruler of the state's European wing through the interregnum 1.
Ten years of war followed against his brothers İsa at Bursa and Mehmed at Amasya, while Timur sowed the discord by releasing their captive brother Musa 3. The contest closed when the youngest, Mehmed I, prevailed in 1413 2.
