# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Murad II took the Ottoman throne in June 1404 and ruled as sultan from 1421 to 1444. He abdicated, stepping away from power in 1444. Two years later he returned, ruling again from 1446 until his death on 3 February 1451. The empire passed through his hands twice, separated by a brief interval when he left it behind.
