Years: 1416 - 1416
Mustafa, a surviving brother of Mehmed I, appears in Rumelia with the help of Emperor Manuel II Palaiologos.
He also has the support of Mircea I of Wallachia and Cüneyt Bey of Aydın (ruler of the Aydinid principality).
Mustafa asked Mehmed I, who had recently defeated other claimants, to partition the empire, but he had been refused and was easily defeated by the forces of Mehmed.
He takes refuge in 1416 in the imperial Greek city of Thessaloniki.
Manuel, after reaching an agreement with Mehmed, sends Mustafa to the island of Lemnos.
