Overview
Sultan Bayezid I, son of Murad I, who ruled from 791 to 805 AH (1389–1402 CE). He took the throne after his father was killed. Al-Salabi describes him as brave and eager for conquests. 3
He moved quickly between the Balkan and Anatolian fronts, so they called him "the Thunderbolt". He made the Christian principalities of Anatolia subject to the state. 3
He established friendly relations with the Serbs, and agreed that the two sons of King Lazar should rule them on condition that they gave him allegiance, tribute and a number of soldiers. 3
His rule ended with his capture at Ankara in 805 AH (1402 CE); the Gregorian conversion is derived. 4
