Before we get into the episode, let’s do a brief recap of where we are so far.

• The Seljuk Sultanate of Rum begins to disintegrate into several smaller states called, Beyliks.
• One of these Beyliks, called the Osmanli Beylik, begins expanding westward and growing rapidly.
• The Byzantine Empire hires the Osmanlis to help them fight against their enemies.
• The Osmanlis use this opportunity to begin their own expansion into Europe.
