#6 Murad II(June 1404
_
February 3, 1451) was twice Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, from 1421 to 1444 and from 1446 to 1451.
Murad was born in June 1404, son of Mehmed I. The identity of his mother is controversial according to different sources. According to the 15th-century historian Şükrullah, Murad’s mother was a concubine. Hüseyin Hüsâmeddin Yasar, an early 20th century historian, wrote in his work Amasya Tarihi that his mother was Şahzade Hatun, daughter of Divitdar Ahmed Pasha.According to historians İsmail Hami Danişmend and Heath W. Lowry, his mother was Emine Hatun, a Dulkadirid princess.
He spent his early childhood in Amasya. In 1410, Murad accompanied his father to the Ottoman capital, Edirne. After his father’s accession to the Ottoman throne, he appointed Murad governor of the sanjak of Amasya. Murad remained in Amasya until the death of Mehmed I in 1421. He was solemnly recognized as Sultan of the Ottoman Sultanate at the age of sixteen, girded with the sword of Osman in Bursa, and troops and state officers readily paid homage to him as ruler.
