Naming + birth place + father

[edit]

According to Islam Ansiklopedisi, his names in Ottoman sources appears as “Şeytankulu, Sofu, Karabıyıkoğlu”, which Şeytankulu means devil's servant. English sources also mention about that: 248 Bayezid had sent an annual sum as a gift both to the leader of the revolt, described in Ottoman sources as “Şeytan Kulu” (Devil's Slave) (The Cambridge History of Turkey: Volume 2, The Ottoman Empire as a World Power, 1453–1603). Worth mentioning this? In the lead or somewhere below. Karabıyıkoğlu seems like a proper name or family name.

Tekkelü (people might think "from tekke" (ie. dervish house) but it's originally Tekelü) is a tribe originating in Teke Peninsula in modern day Antalya region. Islam Ansiklopedisi also says that he's from there. Considering Antalya was his rebellion center, that's most probably right.

It also mention that his father is someone who's called "Hasan Halife". opinions? see this Beshogur (talk) 11:10, 24 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
