Gündüz Alp

Gündüz Alp was the son of Ertuğrul and the brother of Osman I, the founder of Ottoman Dynasty.[1][2][3] According to some sources, the name of father of Ertuğrul was also Gündüz Alp[4][5] and thus the grandfather of Osman I.[1][6][7] Recently, three coins minted by Osman I in Yenişehir-Bursa during his reign which reads "Osman bin Ertuğrul bin Gündüz Alp" proved that the name of the father of Ertuğrul was Gündüz.[8][9][10] In conclusion, many contemporary history professors like İlber Ortaylı, Halil İnalcık, Erhan Afyoncu,[11] Yılmaz Öztuna,[12] Osman Turan[13] demonstrated that those history books written more than six hundred years ago had erred in determining the father of Ertuğrul for some reasons, and had given Ertuğrul's father name incorrectly as Suleyman Shah instead of Gündüz Alp because of the similarity of the name of Kutalmışoğlu Suleyman Shah the founder of Seljuks of Rum, and the legendery ancestor of Osman Gazi namely Süleyman Şah ibn Kaya Alp.

Gündüz as the son of Ertuğrul and the brother of Osman

According to Hasan bin Mahmûd el-Bayâtî's Câm-ı Cem-Âyîn,[5] Âşıkpaşazâde's History of Âşıkpaşazâde,[2] and Neşrî's Kitâb-ı Cihannümâ[3] the name of one of the sons of Ertuğrul that was one of the brothers of Osman I, was Gündüz who had a son named Ay-Doğdu Bey. Gündüz Beg had another brother named Saru-Yatı (Savcı Beg).[4][14] Osman I may also have had a nephew named Gündüz.[15]

Gündüz in the family tree of Ertuğrul and Osman

The grandfather of Osman Beg was mentioned in various sources as Süleyman Şâh, Gündüz Alp and Gök Alp.[1]

According to 15th century Ottoman writers Enveri [7] and Karamani Mehmet Pasha,[5] Gündüz Alp is the father of Ertuğrul.[16] Yazıcızâde Âli's Tevârih-i Al-i Selçuk (15th century)[17] indicated Gök Alp, the brother of Gündüz Alp as the father of Ertuğrul. Some other writers in their published works like 14th ceuntury historian Şükrullah's Behcetü't Tevârîh,[7] Hasan bin Mahmûd el-Bayâtî's Câm-ı Cem-Âyîn,[5] Âşıkpaşazâde's History of Âşıkpaşazâde,[2] and Neşrî's Kitâb-ı Cihannümâ[3] had asserted that Süleyman Şah was the father of Ertuğrul. Halil İnalcık argues that the latter have confused Süleyman Şah with the grandfather of Gündüz Alp, namely Mir Süleymân Alp.[1][6] Three coins which read "Osman bin Ertuğrul bin Gündüz Alp" supports the view that Gündüz was Ertuğrul's father.[8][9][10]
