The character “Noyan” from season 2 is based on a man called “Baiju Noyan” – a Mongol commander who was appointed by Ögedei Khan (the third son of Genghis Khan) to expand the Mongol Empire westward towards the Seljuk Sultanate of Rum. However, Dirilis Ertugrul incorrectly depicts this wedding as being between Sultan Ala ad-Din and Sultan Al-Aziz’s niece.Ĥ. The marriage between Sultan Ala ad-Din Kayqubad did take place with the Ayyubid princess, Ghaziya Khatun, in an attempt to strengthen ties between the warring dynasties. He was also the grandson of Salahudeen al-Ayyubi.ģ. “Sultan El-Aziz” who features in season 1, is in fact Al-Aziz Muhammad, the Ayyubid emir who ruled Aleppo from 1216-1236. For English-speaking audiences, we are yet to put a face to the name of “Sultan Aladeen” – but rumours say that he does reveal himself towards the end of season 3! Emir Al-Aziz Muhammad of AleppoĢ.

I found out the following facts in relation to Dirilis Ertugrul, which I hope will make the show more enjoyable for fans.ġ.
So I did the same while watching Dirilis Ertugrul, and I was surprisingly pleased with some of my findings. When indulging in historical semi-fiction, I tend to read around the respective topic or era because it allows me to distinguish between fact and fiction. However, Dirilis Ertugrul is impressively accurate when it comes to the historical chronology of the context in which the show is set in.

Furthermore, I doubt whether the endless action-packed skirmishes and adventures Ertugrul embarks in the series are entirely true. There is no doubt that the brave warrior and tribal leader existed, and that he was indeed the son of Sulayman Shah – but whether Ertugrul or the Ottomans themselves descended from the Kayi tribe is not conclusive. Well, it’s important to state from the outset that very little information is known about the life of Ertugrul except what was orally transmitted through generations of Ottoman elders. Set in the early thirteenth century, the series dramatises Ertugrul’s mission to find a permanent homeland for his tribe, the Kayi, while fighting the Knights Templers, the Mongols, treacherous Seljuk governors and generals, as well as routing out spies within his own tribe.īut the epic fight scenes, the nail biting plots, and the mushy loves stories aside, how historically accurate is Dirilis Ertugrul?

So a lot of the show is actually based on a true story, though obviously many details and storylines are embellished or made up. While this show is not about the Ottomans per se, the Kayi tribe is notable in history because one of their members ended up founding a small state that expanded over time and later became the Ottoman Empire. They settled in territory controlled by the Seljuk Sultanate, but they ended up having to deal with both the Crusaders and Mongols even in their new home, as they struggled to survive and feed their people and animals.
