Summary
Prince Suleiman Pasha, son and heir of Orhan, led the first Ottoman crossing into Europe: in al-Sallabi's telling he slipped across the Dardanelles by night with forty horsemen, seized Roman boats, and secured footholds on the western shore including Gallipoli — the base from which Ottoman raids spread into the Balkans 1.
He died before his father, and the succession passed instead to his brother Murad I 2.
