In Turkish Muslim history, Ertugrul was a brave warrior and leader of kayi. Clan of Oghuz Turks. He was a man of wisdom, a true believer, and an excellent war strategist who gave Byzantines and Mongols a tough time. He came into the picture with his army of 400 horsemen to help Sejuks of Rum. His bravery and strong leadership set the foundation for the mighty Ottoman Empire founded by Osman, son of Ertugrul Ghazi.
