The Ottoman - Episode 29

The people of Anatolia were forced to live under the danger caused by the presence of the Byzantine Empire while suffering from the Mongolian invasion. The Kayı tribe, a frontiersman, remained at Söğüt. Because of their location, they were in a continuous state of red alert to face the Byzantine threat. With the sickness of Ertuğrul Ghazi, a power vacuum emerged. The power struggle caused by this war of principalities was between Osman, the heroic and brave youngest son of Ertuğrul Ghazi, and his uncle Dündar, who was good at statesmanship, and Gündüz. Dündar, the most successful man in politics after his elder brother, became hungry for power after his brother’s illness. He was ready to defeat anyone who opposed him on his path to power. Aygül, responsible for the women’s administration in the Kayi tribe, had loved Osman since childhood and wished to marry him. The brave and beautiful Bala Hanım, daughter of Şeyh Edebali, sought truths to protect her people. Both prioritized their people’s future, and Bala Hanım’s and Osman’s paths crossed. They fell in love at first sight. However, betrayals and plots caused major obstacles for their love. Osman fought internally and externally, both for the Kayı tribe’s future and to reunite with Bala Hanım by overcoming the obstacles they faced.
