Everything about S T totally explained
Söğüt is a town and district of
Bilecik Province in the
Marmara region of
Turkey.
History
Söğüt was a
Seljuk Turkish tribe in western
Anatolia that later gave birth to the
Ottoman Empire. It was a small but sophisticated tribe (in comparison with other Turkish tribes of the time) that extended from the
Kayi branch of the
Seljuk Turks that in the
12th and
13th centuries invaded
Anatolia. The village of Söğüt was surrounded by three greater Turkish tribes; Eskenderum in the north, Eskişehir in the east, Konyali in the south; and with the
Byzantine Empire in the west. Legend has it that the
bey (chief) of the tribe in the late
13th century,
Ertuğrul, bravely kept the enemies at bay so that his son,
Osman, could conquer them all during his reign,
1299 to
1324. When Osman's son,
Orhan, came to power after his father's death he renamed the tribe
Osmanli in honour of his father. The village of Söğüt later grew into a town that served the Osmanli tribe as capital until the capture of the Byzantine city of
Bursa in
1325 when the capital was moved to the far more luxurious palaces of the Byzantines.
Söğüt was the birthplace of Sultan
Osman I.
Today
Today Söğüt is a small town in the humid river valley of
Bilecik Province in
Turkey.
Turkish history and life-size statues of the
Ottoman sultans are exhibited in the Söğüt Ethnographical Museum.
