the Executioner" . . . The reconstitution of the empire stated with Mehmed seizing Bursa from Isa in 1404. He then made an alliance with Musa, and murdered Suleiman in 1410. After that, Mehmed made an alliance with the emperor of Byzantium, Manuel Palaeologus, and murdered Musa. Since Isa mysteriously disappeared during the war with Suleiman, Mehmed was free to crown himself sultan of Anatolia and Rumelia. He did so in 1413 and became the fifth sovereign of the Ottoman Empire, earning the nickname the Executioner. . ." (Wells: 180)
