Season 1 Synopsis
Suleyman Shah, Bey of the Kayı sends his son, Ertugrul, to ask for land from the Emir of Aleppo. This is made almost impossible when the Kayı are put in a series of problems with the Templars after saving Sehzade Numan, Halime Sultan, and Sehzade Yigit because of the traitor in the Emir's palace, Nasir, who works for the Templars but is later killed by Ertufrul and the truth is shown to the Emir. A problem also arises with Kurdoglu, Suleyman Şhah's brother, who seeks his brother's Beylik with the help of Selcan Hatun, Ertugrul's sister-in-law, who wants revenge from Suleyman Şhah as he killed her treacherous father, Alptekin Bey. Ertugrul, who loves Halime, marries her after much difficulty. Selcan's husband, Gundogdu becomes jealous of his brother Ertugrul as he is respected as the tribe hero but gradually calms down. Towards the end of the season, Kurdoglu is beheaded, Ertugrul successfully defeats the Templars and captures their castle, and Selcan repents. This is followed by Suleyman Şhah's death and the tribe's migration to Erzurum as part of Suleyman Şhah's will before he died.
