# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Rabia Bala was born into religious authority as the daughter of Sheikh Edebali, a spiritual figure whose blessing likely helped legitimize Osman I's nascent realm. Her marriage to Osman tied dynastic ambition to spiritual lineage at the Ottoman project's fragile beginning. She bore him Alaeddin Ali Pasha, who would serve the empire his father founded. She died in January 1324, in the early years of a state that would grow into one of history's longest-lived empires, her place secured as its first matriarch.
