Aladeddin's personality, in the first written testimonies of the Ottoman Empire Chronicle of the Yakhshi torque "Description of the feats of Ottoman's houses to Jyldym-Khan," later the rewritten Ashikpashazade, is definitely described as a brother, and the elder brother of Orhans I Gazi and the son of the daughter of Sheikh Ede Bali. The lack of failures. It turned out that the mother of both brothers, Orhans and Aladeddin is a "collective" image of two Osman's wives, only one of whom Sheikh Ede Bali daughter becomes known that Vizier and Briar of Orhans are most likely different people finally, the British scientist Colin Iber, Oh, these British scientists, wondered - was there a boy? Is there any brother of Orhan Aladdin at all? It's time to think about the fact that the series "Santa Barbara" is not such an incredible plot, in comparison with the life of the Imperial courtyard of the Ottoman dynasty.
"Classic" description Alaeddin
According to the interpretation of the first written sources of the Ottoman Dynasty, which are now taken to consider more as a legend, Alaadene is the elder brother of Orhans I Gazi. His mother Malhun-Hatun, Sheikh Ede Bali's daughter, more prone to the sciences and exploring of the scriptures, he voluntarily inferior to the throne of the dynasty more active in political and military business brother - Orhans, and himself serves as a time for some time senior visira. Activities are attributed to the creation of mosques, honey, hammams and charitable institutions throughout the Ottoman Sultanate - Imanets. Initiative on the introduction of a single monetary unit in the Ottoman Sultanate and even the idea of creating an elite Turkish infantry - Janichar, from among the Christians who faced in Islam.Arguments "For" The legendary version of the life of Alaeddin
The argument "For" the reality of the personality of Brother in Orhans named Aladdin can be the Byzantine chronicles. The most famous chronicler of that time Pakhimer, describing the battle in Maltep by Emperor Andronik III with Ottoman conquerors, indicates that the enemy's army headed Alaaddin, there he was mentioned as the son of Osman, who was still alive at that time. It is possible to read in detail about this in the book Petrosyan Yu. A. "Ottoman Empire". The evidence is that Osman I Gazi had at least five sons. And the name of Aladedin is mentioned in various written sources that are not related to the chronicles of events.
Arguments "Against" the legendary version of the life of Alaeddin
Next begin not to join. The first is the seniority of Aladeddin, his pedigree goes from Sheikh Ede Bali daughter, but now it is known that she was not Malchun-Hatun, but the slaves Bala Hatun. Malhun-Hatun was the first wife of Osman I Gazi and gave him a son, most likely - this is Orhahan Gazi and he was exactly born earlier. Bracked with slave Bala Hatun, as a political union to support Sheikh Ede Bali, Osman concluded later When under his dominion there were already many cities in Malaya Asia. It is also known that Rabiy Bala Hatun retired from Osman closer towards the end of his life and lived with his father.
It is possible that Alaadene lived as well as his mother with her grandfather, highly educated, for that time, a man who deceased at the age of 120, one of the organizers of the Ahi movement (a mode of European trade craft cities - the Republics of the Middle Ages, under the type of Venice). Part of the ideas, on the reorganization of the nomadic lifestyle of Ottomans, could have been learned from him. Dealer, conducting detailed research, the Turkish historian I. H. Uzuncharshily in his work entitled "The Organization of the Ottoman State" organization reveals on the basis of written chronicles and pedigrees, which is a Vizier Aladedin Pasha and the brother of Orhans I Gazi are different people. Therefore, it is not enough to say to someone who of them and which ideas of the reorganization of the army and the management of the Sultanat came to mind, it is not possible. He believes that due to the fact that they were the targets, confusion came out in many chronicles.
And ideas were quite a lot! These are already mentioned Janachara; Monetary reform - the chasing of his own coin of Ottoman rulers; introduction of a single shape of clothing and white hats for infantry; Introduction of the sofa - the prototype of the ministry and the difference in positions in it, including the system of wearing uniforms at the court, on the similarity of Byzantium, creating a prototype of a regular army. It is possible that at least two people worked on such a volume of reforms, both of which Orhahan I Gazi should have trusted Fully, since his life took place in military campaigns and diplomatic intrigues aimed at expanding the state and the strengthening of independence, in which Orhahan I Gazi has quite succeeded. An excellent example of the work of the team of successful leaders, as contemporaries would say. However, there is also a third opinion that claims that the brother of Orhans I Gazi, Alaaddine is fiction, myth and legend. This version adheres to the British researcher of the Turkish historical heritage of Colin Imber. The Arguments serves that the written sources belonging to the time before us did not come. The work of the Ashikpashazade, prepared on the materials that did not reach our time, the chronicles of the Yakhshi Crimson, he regards as a "order" in favor of the political ambitions of the ruling dynasty of the Ottoman Empire. In addition, the son of Osman was allegedly called "Ali - Pasha", as the chronicler of the 16th century, Oruzh-Bay in his "Anonymous Chronicle of Osmananov".
Conclusion
The categorization of the judgments of Colin Imber certainly makes loud the name of this researcher of the Turkish history from Manchester University, but his ambitions in this matter and the desire to approve their opinion is the same in incision with the facts. Bestly, Nahan I Gazi had a brother Aladedin and dust him rest in Turbea ( Tomb) Orhan I in Bursa. However, who exactly belongs to the ideas of the transformation of the state, constructed and preserved the mosque and the laws that have ever who have ever been in oblivion ... Vizier or Brother Sultan is forever hid from us under the thickness centuries. It is known that these are two different people with one name. Each of which owns the share of accomplishments on the field of creating the Ottoman Empire. Literature:
