Ulubatlı Hasan Ulubatlı Hasan ( sometimes written as Uluabatlı Hasan , in English Hasan of Uluabat ) ( 1428 – May 29 , 1453 ) was a Timarli Sipâhî in the service of Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire who achieved legendary status as a heroic Turkish martyr at the successful Siege of Constantinople . He was born in a small village called Ulubat ( near Karacabey ) in the province of Bursa ( " Ulubatlı Hasan " meaning " Hasan of Ulubat " in Turkish ) . He must have been a very tall man , as Scottish historian Lord Kinross in his work " The Ottoman Centuries " reports that he was a " giant . " At the age of 25 he was present at the Siege of Constantinople ( April 6 , 1453 – May 29 , 1453 ) . The Turks had tried to take the grand city and last stronghold of the Roman Empire several times before , but this time , under the command of Sultan Mehmed II , who was in his early twenties at the time and already showing potential of being a great military leader , it looked like victory was at hand . But despite several assaults and the severe hammering by the cannons the great double walls of Constantinople held for 53 days . On the early morning of the last day of the siege , May 29 , after the morning prayers , the Ottoman military band started to play one of their songs and the city was stormed . Ulubatlı Hasan was among the first to climb the walls of Constantinople followed closely by thirty of his friends . He carried only a scimitar , a small shield and the Ottoman Flag . He climbed the wall , under showers of arrows , stones , spears and bullets . He reached the top and he placed the flag , which he defended until his 12 remaining friends arrived . After that he collapsed with 27 arrows still in his body . Seeing the Ottoman flag inspired the Ottoman troops and kept their spirits up until they had conquered Constantinople .
