Scenarios about 'osman I'
Osman I was the founder of the Ottoman dynasty and Empire, ruling from approximately 1299 to 1323/24 CE. As a Turkish tribal leader who established an independent state from the declining Seljuk Sultanate of Rum, his conquests in northwestern Anatolia laid the foundation for an empire that would eventually span three continents.
