The Ottoman Interregnum (Fetret Devri)

The Ottoman civil war among Bayezid I's sons after Ankara — ten years (806–816/1403–1413 in the book's reckoning). Mustafa was presumed dead in the battle; Musa, captured with his father, was released by Timur to stoke the strife; the eldest Süleyman proclaimed himself sultan at Edirne, İsa at Bursa, and the youngest Mehmed held Amasya, while Timur restored the Anatolian beyliks Bayezid had annexed. It ended when Mehmed stood alone in 1413 and gathered the lost lands.
