An introduction:

The Ottoman state was founded by Ertugrul’s son, Osman I (Osman Gazi) in 1298/1299 AD. However, Ertugrul’s work and the efforts he made formed the very foundation of the future Ottoman state. Therefore, Ertuğrul is of historical importance in Turkish civilization. Moreover, His mausoleum is one of the largest and most important shrines in Turkey, as we will show in this article.

Life of Ertugrul:

Ertugrul was a 13th century bey, who was the father of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. he was the son of Suleyman Shah, the leader of the Kayı tribe. His name Ertugrul means brave and honest person. Ertugrul was born in 1191 AD. He died in 1281, and was buried in the Turkish city of Sogut, in Bilecik region, near Bursa.

The achievements of Ertugrul:

Ertuğrul and his followers entered the service of the Seljuks of Rum, for which he was rewarded with dominion over the town of Söğüt on the frontier with the Byzantine Empire. This set off the chain of events that would ultimately lead to the founding of the Ottoman Empire.

Like his son, Osman, and their future descendants.. Ertuğrul is often referred to as a Ghazi, a heroic champion fighter.

Moreover, as a result of his assistance to the Seljuks against the Byzantines.. Ertuğrul was granted lands in Karaca Dağ (now Ankara).. by Ala ad-Din Kay Qubadh I, the Seljuk Sultan of Rûm.

Furthermore, one account indicates that the Seljuk leader’s rationale for granting Ertuğrul land was for Ertuğrul to repel any hostile incursion from the Byzantines or other adversary.

In addition, he received the village of Sögüt which he conquered together with the surrounding lands. That village, where he later died, became the Ottoman capital under his son Osman I.
