Abstract

His tomb as one of the guardians of the conqured territories has been visited for ages. His name was always mentioned in history and anthems. Unfortunately, there is not information about children and descendants of Ottoman prominents who have important place in our history. However we can learn some significant information from epitaphs. Thus, The Epitaph of the Daughter Efendized (Efendizade) Hanım of the daughter of Shehzade Suleyman Pasha the conquerer of Rumeli in Akshahr is very important from this aspect. Ahmed Tevfik Efendi makes a statement about this epitaph which i saw in person and examined during my superficial researches: “I have not seen yet any historical recordings about children and descendants of the son of Orhan Gazi Shehzade Suleyman Pasha the conquerer of Rumeli. At last, meanwhile i was at Aksehir a few tombstones standing at the left side of the Imaret Mosque in forenamed town had caught my eyes. “ Epitaphs which are inside superficial researches have a great importance in revealing some kind of hidden historical information.
