## Suleiman Shah in Resurrection:Ertugrul

Suleyman Shah comes from season 1 in this series and leaves the series for historical reasons in that season.

In the first episodes, he is shown as a compassionate and valiant man of Kayı Tribe. He is very strong and has raised his children so strongly. Most of all, his son Ertuğrul is a very crazy and fighting musketeer. Suleyman Shah, who knows his future, fights with him in fights to the end and gain the upper hand and banish the enemy. For this, Suleyman Shah appreciates his son Ertugrul.

Suleyman Shah, the lord of this oban who martyred many alps in the war with the Knights Templar, wants to make a plan so that he can drive them out to the end. This time Ertuğrul helps him and with his tactics, they escape the invasion of the Knights Templar.

Then, Ertuğrul Bey's ideas do not match the ideas of the Alps. In essence, opinions conflict with Gündoğdu. This time, they don't like Ertuğrulu at all. After a few episodes, when Gündoğdu Bey, Ertuğrul Bey and Süleymanşah traveled on the road, Süleymanşah drowned in the river. At this time, he attains the grace of the right in front of his sons.

After that, he appears several times in Ertuğrul's sleep. He stands in front of a big plane tree and talks to his son. Osman Bey, who now appears as a child in the 5th season, also sees Süleymanşah in his sleep. First, Osman, who does not know his grandfather, then talks to him and Süleyman Shah wishes him and has a nice conversation with him.

## Suleiman Shah in Establishment: Osman

Süleyman Şah is shown in the 1st season in the establishment Osman series. When that episode was shown, the audience thought that Ertuğrul Gazi would return.

This time, Suleyman Shah comes to the place where Osman is, they do not show his face and all the campers look at him. When he comes to the camp, he meets with Osman. He talks to him for the second time. This scene had become one of the most important scenes in the series.

The role of Süleyman Şah was played by the master and famous Turkish actor Serdar Gökhan in the series Diriliş Ertuğrul and the establishment Osman.

## Suleiman Shah in the history

The identity of Süleyman, father of Gündüz Alp, was confused with Kutalmışoğlu I. Süleyman Şah, the founder of the Anatolian Seljuk State, for many years, although more than a century passed between the dates of his death due to the death of both of them in Aleppo.

Three coins, which were found by scientists from the era of Osman Gazi and did not write "Osman bin Ertuğrul bin Gündüz Âlp", prove that Ertuğrul Gazi's father is Gündüz Alp. Thus, the confusion between Gündüz lp and Kaya Alpoğlu Süleyman Âlp is also highlighted. Enverî confirms that the name of Gündüz Âlp's grandfather is Mîr Süleyman Âlp. Yılmaz Öztuna says that Süleyman Şah is thought to be Ertuğrul's father and that this is not true. According to the TDV Islamic Encyclopedia, the person named Süleyman Şah is not Ertuğrul's father. It should be corrected as lip in the daytime. Historians such as both İlber Ortaylı and Erhan Afyoncu say that the identity of the person lying in the Süleyman Şah Tomb is unclear and argues that Gündüz Ali is the real father of Ertuğrul Gazi.
