Turgut Alp (Ottoman Turkish: طورغود آلپ) was one of the warriors and alps who fought for Ertuğrul, a Turkoman leader and bey, and Ertuğrul's son Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.[3][1] After the establishment of the Empire, he became one of its military commanders, serving Osman I, as well as his son, Orhan Gazi.[4]
Life[edit]
During the early Ottoman Conquests in the reign of Osman I, Turgut Alp was sent to Angelacoma (present-day İnegöl) and he conquered the area.[5][6] This area consisting some villages, was given to him by Osman I and his territory was called Turgut-ili (Province of Turgut).[7][8][9] During the Siege of Bursa, Turgut Alp, along with Osman's warrior Mihal Gazi, participated in the conquest of Atranos Castle (later known as Orhaneli) in 1325, which played a key role in leading to the Ottoman conquest of Bursa during the reign of Sultan Orhan.[1] He was also with Orhan during the conquest of Bursa (1326).[10][11]
Burial place[edit]
His tomb is located in the cemetery of Turgutalp (Genci) village, İnegöl, Turkey.[12] The grave outside the Ertugrul Ghazi's mausoleum is an honorary grave, not the real burial place.[13]
Legacy[edit]
In 1877, during the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878), a city was founded and named "Turgutalp" after him in the then-Ottoman Empire.[citation needed]
In fiction[edit]
Turgut Alp has been portrayed in the Turkish television series Kuruluş "Osmancık" (1988),[14] Diriliş: Ertuğrul (2014—2019) and Kuruluş: Osman (2019—).[15][16]
