Beyazid I

Beyazid I , 1347-1403, Ottoman sultan (1389-1402), son and successor of Murad I. He besieged Byzantine Emperor Manuel II at Constantinople, then overcame the Turkish rulers in E Anatolia and defeated the army of Sigismund of Hungary (see Sigismund , Holy Roman emperor) at Nikopol . Ottoman expansion led to conflict with the conqueror Timur , and the two armies met at Ankara in 1402. Beyazid's troops consisted only of Serbs and the Janissaries , since the Tatars and most of his Turkish vassals had deserted him. His army was routed, and he died as Timur's prisoner. His sons fought (1402-13) each other for the succession; Muhammad I emerged victorious. The name appears in other forms, e.g., Bajazet, Bayazid, and Beyazit.
