However, a source has not yet been found to confirm the claims that the name \u0130neg\u00f6l is the distorted pronunciation of Angelacoma.<\/p>\n<p>In the sources, it is seen that the name \u0130neg\u00f6l was written in different forms. However, it is known that in most of the Ottoman sources it was written as Ayna-G\u00f6l or \u0130ne-G\u00f6l.<\/p>\n<p>Evliya \u00c7elebi, tells in his travel book that \u0130neg\u00f6l is derived from Ezineg\u00f6l; He narrates that \u0130neg\u00f6l took the name &#8220;Ezineg\u00f6l&#8221; because it was conquered on Friday, that is, Ezine day according to the parlance of those days, and that in time, the &#8220;Ez&#8221; part at the beginning was removed and it was called only \u0130neg\u00f6l.<\/p>\n<h2>Archeological Surveys.<\/h2>\n<p>The history of \u0130neg\u00f6l, according to the findings of the archeological surveys carried out in 1847 and 1942, dates back to 3000 BC. There are 6 mounds of archeological interest in \u0130neg\u00f6l, namely Cumatepe, \u0130neg\u00f6l 2, \u015e\u0131bal\u0131, Bo\u011fazk\u00f6y, Palangatepe and Kur\u015funlu.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\" data-ad-slot=\"8997190170\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Today, the mound in the middle of the city, around the municipality headquarters, is called Cumatepe.<\/p>\n<p>During excavations carried out by Bursa Archeology Museum in 1999 on the Cumatepe mound in the city center, mixed aged objects ranging from the Late Ottoman to the Chalcolithic Period were found.<\/p>\n<h2>Inegol in Antiquity<\/h2>\n<p>\u0130neg\u00f6l has been invaded frequently due to its strategic location on military and commercial routes since ancient times.<\/p>\n<p>It has been determined that Phrygians, Lydians, Persians and Macedonians successively ruled in \u0130neg\u00f6l, which has a history of 5000 years. In 74 AD, it came under the rule of the Roman Empire.<\/p>\n<p>And after the split of the Roman Empire in 395 AD, \u0130neg\u00f6l passed under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantine). It continued to be under Byzantine rule as a Tekfurluk center until the establishment of the Ottoman Principality by Osman Ghazi.<\/p>\n<h2>The Establishment of the Ottoman State and the Conquest of \u0130neg\u00f6l<\/h2>\n<p>Osman Bey, who became the head of the principality in 1281 upon the death of his father Ertu\u011frul Bey, began the conquests against Byzantium soon after.<\/p>\n<p>[Official Webpage from Inegol Chamber Of Commerce &amp; Industry also adds that Osman Bey initially followed a policy of maintaining cordial, good working, relationships with the feudal landlords in Bursa, Bilecik and surroundings. Except with Ayah Nikola.]<\/p>\n<p>In a battle with Ayah Nikola, the battle of Ermeni Beli in 1284, he and his men had to retreat after the martyrdom of Baykoca, the son of his brother, Savc\u0131 Bey.<\/p>\n<p>Baykoca was the first martyr of the dynasty and his grave is in Hamzabey District of \u0130neg\u00f6l.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the retreat (and Bayhoca\u2019s martyrdom), Ottoman history began with this first military operation.<\/p>\n<p>The foundations of a state that would rule for six centuries were laid in the quadrangle of S\u00f6\u011f\u00fct, Bilecik, Domani\u00e7 and \u0130neg\u00f6l in a short period of time.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, Osman Bey raided Kulaca Castle near \u0130neg\u00f6l and conquered the castle. The year of this conquest event was recorded as Hijri, 684, Gregorian, 1285 in the chron\u0131cles of A\u015f\u0131kpa\u015fazade, and it was stated that this conquest was the first conquest of Osman Gazi.<\/p>\n<p>[It is also mentioned in some early chronicles that deeply affected by Bayhoca\u2019s martyrdom, Osman Bey never visited Angelacoma (\u0130neg\u00f6l) and surroundings for approximately 14-15 years, while continuing with conquering other castles &#8211; the Karcahisar (\u0130n\u00f6n\u00fc Castle), Bilecik and Yarhisar Castles. A great many friends of feudal landlord of Angelacoma were thus erased from history]<\/p>\n<p>Concerned about these developments, \u0130neg\u00f6l tekfuru, Nikola, formed an alliance with other tekfurs to eliminate Osman Bey.<\/p>\n<p>Osman Bey, becoming aware of this alliance, assigned the conquest of \u0130neg\u00f6l to his comrade, Turgut Alp.<\/p>\n<p>[in many early sources, Turgut Alp is referred to as Osman Bey\u2019s dear friend &amp; comrade &#8211; which make it reasonable to assume that age wise, he \u2018might&#8217; have been Osman Bey\u2019s contemporary. This is the more widespread understanding &amp; the reason why in the earlier TRT series on Osman Bey, he was shown as Osman Bey\u2019s contemporary &amp; friend]<\/p>\n<p>With the siege plan implemented by Turgut Alp, \u0130neg\u00f6l was finally conquered in 1299. After this conquest, Osman Bey handed over the administration of \u0130neg\u00f6l and its surrounding villages to Turgut Alp.<\/p>\n<p>[[According to early Ottoman sources, Turgut Alp was also with Osman Bey during the conquest of &#8216;Yarhisar\u2019 and was then commissioned with the conquest of Inegol. In these sources, it is also mentioned that Turgut Alp first sieged the city and then Osman Bey came to his aid. It was also mentioned that during the conquest of Inegol, the city\u2019s Tekfur, Aya Nikola, was executed and thereafter, Osman Bey assigned the administration of Ineg\u00f6l &amp; \u0131ts surrounding villages to Turgut Alp]<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-8052133319358801\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8052133319358801\" data-ad-slot=\"8997190170\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The region where Inegol&#8217;s Kirles (Pa\u015fa\u00f6ren), S\u00fcle, Genci (Turgutalp Village), Gelene (Kayap\u0131nar) and K\u0131ran Neighborhoods are located were called the Turguteli-Turgutlar district.<\/p>\n<p>Turgut Alp, who also contributed significantly in the subsequent conquest of Bursa by Sultan Orhan, passed away in the village of Genci (today&#8217;s name Turgut alp K\u00f6y Mahallesi), where he had settled in his later years.<\/p>\n<p>His mausoleum is on a large hill overlooking \u0130neg\u00f6l in Turgut Alpk\u00f6y Mahallesi, and a memorial ceremony is held around the mausoleum every year on the day of H\u0131drellez.<\/p>\n<p>The naming of a neighborhood, a village, an Anatolian High School and a mosque in \u0130neg\u00f6l after Turgut Alp is an indication of the place this highly successful early Ottoman commander holds in the collective memory of generations that came after him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11059\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11059\" class=\"wp-image-11059 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turgut-Burial-450x600.jpg\" alt=\"Turgut\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turgut-Burial-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turgut-Burial-180x240.jpg 180w, https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Turgut-Burial.jpg 605w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11059\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Turguts Burial Place<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/neelofer.siddiqui.37\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Written By Neelofer Siddiqui<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/ottoman-empire-in-indonesia\/\">Ottoman Empire in Indonesia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ineg\u00f6l &amp; its early Ottoman conqueror, Turgut Bey (Translated from the official Ineg\u00f6l City &amp; Ineg\u00f6l Chamber Of Commerce &amp; Industry webpages &amp; also some available translations of early chronicles) If you want, you can skip sections on ancient history of \u0130neg\u00f6l &amp; go straight to early Ottoman history [that is being showcased \u0131n Kurulu\u015f [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[211],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-osmanli-devleti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kayifamilytv.com\/v18\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
