The Ottoman Interregnum (20 July 1402 – 5 July 1413) (also known as The Ottoman Triumvirate; Fetret Devri in Turkish) began in 20 July 1402, when chaos reigned in the Ottoman Empire following the defeat of Sultan Bayezid I by the Turco-Mongol warlord Timur (Tamerlane). Although Mehmed Çelebi was confirmed as sultan by Tamerlane, his brothers refused to recognize his authority. Civil war was the result. The Interregnum lasted until 5 July 1413, when Mehmed Çelebi emerged as victor in the strife, crowned himself sultan as Mehmed I, and restored the empire.
