Umur the Lionとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Aydınoğlu Umur Bey (1309 ?- 1348) was the Emir of Aydin from 1334 to 1348. Umur has been celebrated in a chronicle by a Turkish poet in the 15th century as the "Lion of God", for his exploits against Christian shipping. However, western sources paint a far less heroic image - two Venetian ambassadors remarked that he was immensely fat with a stomach, "like a wine casket". They had found him wearing silks, drinking almond milk and eating eggs with spices from a golden spoon. Umur was a loyal ally and friend of John Cantacuzenus, and provided him with material aid during his military campaigns, especially during the Byzantine civil war of 1341–1347. At the height of its power, his principality possessed 350 ships and 15,000 men.
