| | Ottoman Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Ottoman Dynasty (or the Imperial House of Osman) ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1281 to 1923, beginning with Osman I (not counting his father, Ertuğrul), though the dynasty was not proclaimed until 1383 when Murad I declared himself sultan. |
 | | As the empire grew, sultans adopted secundary titles expressing the empire's claim to be the successor in law (sometimes even before the conquest was a fact!) to the structures of the absorbed states and stressing their religious fervor in armed jihad. |
 | | Sultan Murad Khan II Khoja-Ghazi, 6th Sovereign of the House of Osman (1421 - 1451), was 'Abu'l Hayrat, Sultan ul-Mujahidin, Khan of Khans, Grand Sultan of Anatolia and Rumelia, and of the Cities of Adrianople and Philippolis. |
