@article{2014,title={The First Ottoman-French Relations, Struggles With The Crusaders And Cem Sultan Event},abstractNode={First Ottoman French relations begins in 1353 by Suleyman Pasha moving to Europe and settling in Çimpe (Tzympe) Castle, Gallipoli. This situation excites the Christian world and forces the Pope to organize a crusade against the Ottoman’s. Savua kontu Amédée accepts the crusade invitaion by the pope and joins the capture of Gallipoli, even if it was for a short period. This does not stop the progress of the Ottoman Empire into Europe. In this case the Pope endavours to form an alliance with the Christian states in Europe. At the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396, six thousand French soldiers battle with the Turks, and prominent French noblemen prisoners are released through ransom. The conquest of Constantinople (Istanbul) by the Turks in 1453 and advancement into Europe is perceived as a threat to both Europe and against the existence of Christianity. Duke of Burgundy, Philippe-le-Bon, attempts to organize a crusade that he has been planning for some time. The Ottoman Empire’s entrance into Otranto in 1480 shocks Europe, however the death of Sultan Fatih in 1481 relaxes Europe. King of France VIII. Charles (1483-1498) tries to take advantage of the capture of Cem Sultan in Europe by pursuing his great ambitions to resurrect Byzantine and recapture Istanbul and Jerusalem. This project fails after the Pope hands Cem Sultan over to him and he dies some time later. Cem Sultan’s capture by the Christians causes the European states to interfere in the internal affairs of the Ottoman Empire and stops the Ottoman conquest towards the west for a while. Due to this, sour relations remain until the year 1525 between the Ottoman’s and the French.},author={İsmail CERAN},year={2014},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
