Dundar Bey

Category:Characters
Dundar Bey was born as the last son of Suleyman Shah in 1214. He trained with his sword ever since he was 8 years old, and became an Alp in 1225. He always sided with his older brother Ertugrul instead of his other brothers such as Gundogdu and Sungurtekin after his father died. When the division of Kayi happened in 1228, Dundar migrated to Eskisehir with Ertugrul Bey. He was always next to his brother, and conquered Hanli Bazaar with him in 1237. However, in 1238, Dundar made a mistake and sent information that was intercepted by the enemy, (earlier in life, he got conked on the head and put in a coma, so his stupid actions are therefore justified) and they used it to ambush them, take Dundar as spoils of war and killed one of Ertugrul's greatest comrades, Dogan. Ertugrul stripped Dundar of his Bey title after. In 1240, Dundar made another mistake and sold the Bazaar right when the economy was low, and even thought of migrating where his other brothers were, when he thought Ertugrul was dead. However, Ertugrul returned right when they were making the deal and stopped it. He then stripped Dundar of his Alp rank and exiled him to his brother Gundogdu's tribe. Sucks for him 
During Dundar's exile, he got married to Zohre Hatun in 1244 and Hazal Hatun in 1242. He had two children with Zohre Hatun named Batur and Aygul. He had one child with Hazal named Bahadir. He returned to Ertugrul after 11 years of exile in 1251. However, he is still not matured at this age, and when the Mongols invade the tribe in 1279, he immediately surrenders, and the tribe is saved by Veterans of the Tribe and the sons of Ertugrul Ghazi. In 1280, Dundar attempted to become Bey and betray after Ertugrul's death in early 1280 and gets exposed and is shot in the heart in a public execution. In the series, this is how Dundar dies. However, in real history, he lives on for many years. He miraculously survived the arrow, and stays in hiding, ashamed of what he had done. In 1298, Dundar went to Osman and begged to be forgiven. He is forgiven, but he is reduced to an Alp. He fights in the Battle of Inegol in 1299, and the Battle of Yenisehir in 1300. However, in 1302 he gets severely wounded, and dies shortly after at the age of 88. Shortly after his death, Osman posthumously made him a Bey of the Ottomans. Good for him.
