Background
İsa was one of the sons of
Ottoman Interregnum
In 1403, after learning about his father's death in captivity, he began to struggle for the vacant throne against his brothers
He met with Süleyman, who supported his cause in Anatolia. With fresh troops provided by Süleyman, he returned to Anatolia and tried to recapture Bursa. Although he failed, allying himself with the Anatolian beyliks, which his father Beyazıt I had captured but which had regained independence after Beyazıt's defeat at the Battle of Ankara, he continued to fight against Mehmed. However, after a series of defeats and the betrayal of his allies, İsa gave up the war for the throne.[3]
After losing the struggle, İsa went into hiding, and was spotted in a public bath (hamam) in
Aftermath
After his death, the interregnum continued till 1413. In 1413, Mehmet became the sole ruler of the empire as Mehmed I after defeating Musa. Another one of the brothers, Mustafa Çelebi, who had been in hiding during the interregnum, later led two failed rebellions against the throne, one against Mehmet in 1416, and another in 1421 against his nephew Murad II. Murat called Mustafa Çelebi düzmece ("the impostor") and executed him.
