Jem Sultan hailed at Bursa for eighteen days

In the civil war after Mehmed II's death in 886/1481 the people of Bursa sided with Prince Jem, who held the town as sultan for eighteen days, struck coins in his name and planned to rule at least Anatolia with Bursa as capital. Al-Salabi has him resident at Bursa when his father died: he took the townspeople's allegiance, proposed dividing the empire, and when Bayezid refused and marched on Bursa, Jem fled to the Mamluk sultan Qaytbay in Egypt.
