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]
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]
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]
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]
Turgut Alp has been portrayed in the Turkish television series Kuruluş "Osmancık" (1988), [14] Diriliş: Ertuğrul (2014—2019) and Kuruluş: Osman (2019—). [15] [16]
