The Ottoman sultan Bayezid I built the Bayezid Külliyesi ( Bayezid I theological complex ) in Bursa between 1390 and 1395 and the Ulu Cami ( Great Mosque ) between 1396 and 1400.

** Bayezid I Mosque and complex ( külliye )

Ordered by Sultan Bayezid I, the mosque was designed and built by architect Ali Neccar in 1396 – 1400.

Supposedly the twenty domes were built instead of the twenty separate mosques which Sultan Bayezid I had promised for winning the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396.

Bayezid ascended to the throne following the death of his father Murad I, who was killed by Serbian knight Miloš Obilić during ( June 15 ), or immediately after ( June 16 ), the Battle of Kosovo in 1389, by which Serbia became a vassal of the Ottoman Empire.

In the fateful Battle of Ankara, on 20 July 1402, Bayezid was captured by Timur and the Ottoman army was overpowered.

Bayezid II or Sultân Bayezid-î Velî ( December 3, 1447 – May 26, 1512 ) ( Ottoman Turkish: بايزيد ثانى Bāyezīd-i < u > s </ u > ānī, Turkish: II.

During his reign, Bayezid II consolidated the Ottoman Empire and thwarted a Safavid rebellion soon before abdicating his throne to his son, Selim I.

Bayezid II ascended the Ottoman throne in 1481.

Throughout his reign, Bayezid II engaged in numerous campaigns to conquer the Venetian possessions in Morea, accurately defining this region as the key to future Ottoman naval power in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Rebellions in the east, such as that of the Qizilbash, plagued much of Bayezid II's reign and were often backed by the Shah of Persia, Ismail, who was eager to promote Shi ' ism to undermine the authority of the Ottoman state.

Ottoman authority in Anatolia was indeed seriously threatened during this period, and at one point Bayezid II's grand vizier, Ali Pasha, was killed in battle against rebels.

His older son Bayezid, who was in charge of the left wing of the Ottoman forces, took charge after that.

Beyazid ( also spelt Beyazıt, Bayezid, Bayazid, Bajazet, Beyazit, Bejazid or Bayazit ), an Arabic, Persian, and Turkish name, from the Arabic بايزيد, meaning father of Yazid, may refer to:

In return for large amounts of gold, the Shah allowed a Turkish executioner to strangle Bayezid and his four sons in 1561, clearing the path for Selim's succession to the throne seven years later.

Furthermore, in response to Turkish pressure, some Serbian noblemen wed their daughters, including the daughter of Prince Lazar, to Bayezid.

These titles were known in Ottoman Turkish respectively as Hünkar-i Khanedan-i Âl-i Osman, Sultan us-Selatin and Khakan ( the latter enlarged as Khakan ül-Berreyn vel-Bahreyn by Mehmet II, Bayezid II and Selim I, meaning " Khan of Khans of the Two Lands ( Europe and Asia ) and the Two Seas ( Mediterranean and Indian )").

The Ottoman Interregnum, or the Ottoman Civil War, ( 20 July 1402 – 5 July 1413 ) ( Fetret Devri in Turkish ) began on 20 July 1402, when chaos reigned in the Ottoman Empire following the defeat of Sultan Bayezid I by the Central Asian warlord Timur.

In 1397 Theodore I Palaiologos deposed the local dynast of Monemvasia, who appealed to Sultan Bayezid I and was reinstated by Turkish troops.

The buildings constructed in Istanbul during the period between the Turkish conquest of the city in 1453 and the construction of the Istanbul Bayezid II Mosque are also considered works of the early period.

The victory saved Wallachia from Turkish occupation, but Mircea accepted vassalage under Bayezid to avert further Ottoman intervention.

Soon thereafter Bayezid was called back to Anatolia to deal with continuing problems with the Ottomans ’ Turkish rivals and never returned to the Balkans.

Anadoluhisarı ( Turkish for " Fortress of Anatolia "), also called Akçehisar and Güzelcehisar (" beautiful fortress ") in earlier times, was constructed by Sultan Bayezid I in 1394, and initially consisted of just a 25 m high, roughly pentagonal watchtower surrounded by a wall.

The embassy spent several months in Samarqand, during which time the Castilians attended celebrations for Timur's recent victory at Ankarain July 1402, over the Turkish sultan, Bayezid I, whom he captured, relieving Western fears of Ottoman expansion in Hungary and spurring the desire for diplomatic connections on the part of Charles VI of France as well as Henry of Castile.

Manuel had been forced by Bayezid to participate in subjugating Philadelphia to Turkish rule, a bitter irony given its long resistance.

Other examples of " Cleopatra's Nose " types of history cited by Carr were the claim by Edward Gibbon that if the Turkish sultan Bayezid I did not suffer from gout, he would have conquered Central Europe, Winston Churchill's statement that if King Alexander had not died of a monkey bite, the Greco-Turkish War would have been avoided, and Leon Trotsky's remark that if he not contracted a cold while duck hunting, he would not have missed a crucial Politburo meeting in 1923.
