Ottoman dynasty
ruling family of the Ottoman Empire
(Redirected from Ottoman sultan)
The Ottoman dynasty (Turkish: Osmanlı Hanedanı) (or the Imperial House of Osman) ruled the Ottoman Empire from 1299 to 1922. The dynasty began with Osman I, but it was not recognized until 1383 when Murad I declared himself sultan. The dynasty might have been known as Söğüt before 1383, but it was later renamed Osmanli (Ottoman in English) in honor of Osman I.
