Süleyman 9elebi in Rumili and the Ottoman chronieles* by Elizabeth A. Zachariadou (Montreal) Süleyman 9elebi did not succeed in being officially recognized by the Ottomans äs their sultan;1) his younger brother, Mehemmed 9elebi, emerged victorious from the fratricidal strife which followed the defeat of their father Bayazid I at the battle of Ankara (July 28, 1402) and consequently he has generally been considered to be the legitimate sultan. This being so, Ottoman historians belittled the personality of Süleyman and extolled that of Mehemmed. Ottoman narrative sourees do not seem trustworthy äs far äs the period of the Interregnum is concerned apart from their bias in favour of Mehemmed. The earliest Ottoman historians dealing with that period -- mainly Neshri -- wrote several decades after Süleyman's death.2) This *) A resumo of this article was read at the "Quatrieme Congres International des Etudes du Sud-est Europeen" held in Ankara (13-18 August 1979). I am indebted to Dr. A. Luttrell, who generously shared with me the results of his work on a closely related subject. I also thank Miss Julian Chrysostomidis for reading the flrst draft of this paper and for her criticism. Finally I thank Prof. V. L. Menage
