## Bio

Murad I took the throne in 1362 after his elder half-brother Süleyman Pasha died. Son of Orhan Gazi and Nilüfer Hatun, he inherited an empire still rooted in Anatolia. The conquest of Adrianople in the 1360s changed the map: he relocated the capital there and pushed deep into Southern Europe, bringing most of the Balkans under Ottoman control. The princes of Serbia, the emperor of Bulgaria, and Byzantine emperor John V Palaiologos all paid him tribute. He split the sultanate into two provinces — Anatolia and Rumelia — formalizing the empire's dual geography. Murad I died on 15 June 1389, his reign spanning twenty-seven years and leaving the Ottomans planted on both sides of the straits.
