Notes
The famous rumor that Yıldırım Beyazıt was put in an iron cage after being captured by Timur was published by some European historians who published on Ottoman history, first published by E. Gibb on [Histoire de la decadenee et de la chute de l'Empire romain, trad. M. F. Guizo t, Paris 1819, Tome XII, P. 362 - 369] and then Hammer [Histoire de l'Empire ottoman, trad. J J. Heller, Paris 1835, Vol. H, P. 97-101 ; Turkish translation, Vol. II, pp. 69-72 1 was examined in a very methodical manner by 1. According to his opinion, neither Byzantine sources such as Ducas, Chalcond y 1, nor Schiltberger, who witnessed these events, nor Şerefeddin Yazd, who wrote his Zafername by taking advantage of the contemporary springs belonging to Timur, mention this cage narration; This narration does not exist in contemporary Arab historians such as Ibn Hajar and Ibn Shahin; L u. Such a narration is not encountered in contemporary general dates such as r 1, Janubi or in works quoted from them; Sa'deddin severely criticizes some Turkish history writers who talk about the cage narration, using the Zafername owner's failure to record this narration as the greatest evidence; and says that they are too ignorant to distinguish between the palanquin and the cage; Those who clearly recorded the iron cage narration are Phranz es and Ibn Arab shah; Aşık Paşazü, one of the Ottoman chronicles, narrates from a leftist who was in Beyazıt's entourage during the Ankara war, that the captive Sultan was taken in a litter placed between two horses, just like a cage; Neşri also repeats the same narration. Hammer, who has consulted all these sources, says that the phrase "palanquin like a cage" in the Ottoman chronicles was misinterpreted - under the influence of the iron cage narration in Ibn Arab Suh - and that the iron cage narration in some untrustworthy Ottoman historians arose from this; and, contrary to the great historian Gibbon, he judges this to be a mere legend.
