Summary
Musa Çelebi, son of Bayezid I, was taken captive with his father at Ankara in 804/1402 — then released by Timur expressly to stoke the civil war among the rival princes 1.
He established his rule in Rumelia, making Sheikh Badr al-Din of Simavna his qadi 'askar, the highest office of the time in the book's account 2. The Shaqa'iq al-Nu'maniyya records that his brother Muhammad killed him and confined Badr al-Din and his family at Iznik 2.
