Heirs Of Dominion

“Heirs of Dominion” is a series of documentary centering the fights of inheritance which is the one of subjects known at least in the Ottoman History. While the Project narrates the tragic life stories of Ottoman shahzadahs struggling with both their brothers and fathers for becoming Emperor, also aims for presenting a new viewpoint in the Ottoman History. As is known, the Ottoman dynasty did not have an inheritance law whose rules were nettably determined during its dominance lasting more than 600 years (if we don’t count its last fifty years). The documentary series of “Heirs of Dominion” tries to narrate this process – struggles of Sultanate – beginning with the death of Ertugrul Ghazi in 1281 and continuing until 1922 when the Ottoman Empire withdrew from the stage of history in both political and human dimensions.
