Kurulus Orhan Series

Sultan Orhan — the noble son of Osman Ghazi (Osman I) — became the second ruler of the Ottoman dynasty in 1324. Under his wise and brave leadership, the small frontier state built by his father began to grow into a powerful empire.

One of Orhan’s greatest victories was the conquest of Bursa, a key Byzantine city that became the first Ottoman capital. From there, he built strong systems for the army, administration, and currency, giving the empire a lasting foundation.

The series “Sultan Orhan” follows his rise to power — showing his struggles, conquests, and the transformation of the Ottomans from a small tribe into a disciplined and ambitious state. It highlights Orhan’s vision, courage, and reforms that set the stage for the great Ottoman Empire to come.
