As the main show's narrative concludes the Conquest of Constantinople, I've found (as I've so often spouted off) that my knowledge of Ottoman history is a bit sketch between 1460-1520. To fill in this knowledge gap I've leaned upon the works of some good books to help me.

Amongst these good books is God's Shadow: Sultan Selim, His Ottoman Empire, and the Making of the Modern World, by Alan Mikhail. I'm not sure what I is about writers of Ottoman history, but each and every source I've been studying the authors seem exceptionally well gifted in the field of prose.

As an example here is an excerpt from page 45, "It took over a week for the small merchant ship to cover the three hundred miles between Korikos and the city of Rhodes on the northeastern tip of the island; the strip was uneventful, given the sea's placid summer currents. Yet Cem's mind was tortured. He talked to no one and hardly slept. He knew well that the longer Bayezit held the throne- and it had already been more than a year- the harder it would be to uproot him. Leaving the territory of the empire once again was, clearly, a gamble for Cam, yet, given his debacle with the Kasims at Konya, he had little choice. Looking overboard into the limpid blue of the northern Mediterranean, Cem saw the darkness of his circumstances- forced once more to put his fate in the hands of another power. But should he stay in Anatolia, he would surely be hunted down."
